Money and choices

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.

Weirton seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Weirton house as-is if it needs repairs or cleanout?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish work before asking about a cash offer.
How much will I keep if I sell my house?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written price with the loan payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the costs that apply to your sale. Repairs, commissions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house can also change the comparison.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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. The listed Cash Offer terms are direct purchase, 30 days or less, and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both list no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Can I read the offer terms before deciding?
Yes. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and property-specific costs in the written terms before deciding.
Who pays West Virginia transfer excise taxes and closing costs?
West Virginia law generally assigns the real estate transfer excise tax to the seller, with an exception when the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I sell my house if a trustee sale is scheduled?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. When a loan is secured by a deed of trust, the trustee can sell the house at public auction after a default without a court case. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee'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.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every paper is ready?
Yes. You can call before every estate paper is gathered. In West Virginia, an executor must qualify before acting for the estate, and who can sell depends on the will and the authority in the estate record. Have a title company or an attorney confirm who must sign for this property before relying on a closing timeline.
Can I sell a Weirton rental while a tenant still lives there?
Yes. A sale does not by itself require the tenant to move; a buyer steps into the landlord’s position and the tenant keeps the lease rights they had against the seller. Share the lease, access limits, deposit records, and any notices so the closing can account for them.
What if the house has an open code notice?
A sale may be possible, but the written order, any lien, and its deadline matter. An as-is sale does not erase a city or county order or lien. Share the notice and confirm requirements with the office that issued it.
Which county office should I contact about a Weirton deed record?
Weirton properties can be in Brooke County or Hancock County, so the right office depends on the parcel. The county clerk is a starting point for recorded land documents and deed-recording questions; a title company can review what applies to a particular sale.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper may help answer a follow-up, but you can call before you have everything figured out.
Start with a question
Call before you have every paper or answer
Start with the property address and whatever you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer a follow-up, but you can call before you have everything in one folder.

Local help
Which county office has the deed record?
Weirton spans Brooke and Hancock counties. Check which county contains the parcel before looking up a deed or asking about recording. The county clerk is a starting point for recorded land documents; a title company can review the records and explain what applies to a specific sale.
