Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs. Put the written number beside the repairs, commissions, cleanup, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes that apply to the Wichita house. Use the comparison below to look at the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms, then change the assumptions in the linked calculator.
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.

Useful questions from Wichita sellers
How do I compare what I keep from a Wichita house sale?
Compare net proceeds — what remains after sale costs — rather than the headline price alone. Include likely repairs, commissions, cleanup, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes in the comparison. The amounts depend on the house and its closing file.

What Kansas transfer tax or closing costs apply?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Kansas has no real estate transfer tax or deed tax, and its mortgage registration tax ended on January 1, 2019. County recording fees set by state law are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the total depends on the number of pages. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. This does not pay a seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Can I call before I have all the paperwork?
Yes. Call with the property address and what you know about its condition, who lives there, and the timing or question on your mind. You do not need every document in hand to start a conversation. If you have a deed, lease, payoff statement, estate paper, or notice, it can help answer the next question. Written offer and written terms come before you commit; closing is through a title company.

Can I ask about selling a Wichita house with a tenant in it?
Yes. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. The lease and Kansas court process still matter; a sale does not replace those requirements.

Can I sell my Kansas house while it is in foreclosure?
A sale may still be possible if the payoff or redemption amount can be paid in time. Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff's sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale. After confirmation, the owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. The court gives 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the property's market value. The court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption; the owner can generally stay in the home meanwhile. Have a title company or attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed. 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.
