Estimate what you could keep from a Washington sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for Washington, $238,528 as of August 2026 (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and Pennsylvania's realty transfer tax: a 1% state rate, with any local amount depending on the property's municipality and school district. Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Washington, PA illustrative estimate
Washington, PA illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a Washington house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Washington selling costs: Pennsylvania transfer tax
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax, and most towns add a local tax on top. The local amount depends on the property's municipality and school district, so the state portion is not the full total when a local tax applies. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
For example, on $250,000 of taxable consideration, the state's 1% portion is $2,500 before any local tax. The actual tax and how it is allocated belong in the written agreement and settlement statement. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
What Washington sellers here should know
City sale paperwork depends on the address
The City's real-estate transaction page lists a No-Lien Certificate, Tax Receipt, Solid Waste Request Form, Dye Certificate Application, and Owner Change Application, which the City describes as in lieu of an Occupancy Permit. Ask which items apply to the exact property; the list does not establish a certificate result or occupancy status. The City of Washington and East Washington Borough are separate municipalities, so confirm which place handles a property's local requirements.
Check the address before exterior work
The City identifies the LeMoyne House as a local point of interest and a National Historic Landmark. That does not determine whether another property has a historic designation. If exterior work is part of your sale plan, check the City's maps and ask about the exact address before budgeting it.
