What you keep is the sale price after property costs and any payoff are accounted for. Repairs, cleanout, commissions, carrying costs, liens, and the loan payoff can change that number. Compare net proceeds—not only the headline price—for your own house.

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.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
There is no one price for every Youngstown house. The written offer depends on the property, including its condition, repairs, occupancy, title details, and your timing. You can review the written price and terms before you decide.
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: the state fee is $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. When you sell to us, we pay it.
An executor or administrator appointed by the Probate Court—not simply a relative or heir—is the potential signer for the estate. Authority to sell real estate depends on the will, court-issued letters, and any required Probate Court order; appointment alone does not always authorize a sale. You can call before you have every estate paper. An Ohio probate attorney and title company can review the documents and confirm who can sign.
Yes. You can still sell during an Ohio mortgage foreclosure. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through the court. You can generally still stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk (Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33). Selling first may help protect any equity you have. 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.
Yes. You can call while the tenant is still there. We review the lease and occupancy to explain the sale terms for that property. EZ Sale includes partner visits.
You can call with the property address and the question on your mind. You do not need to gather every paper first; we can tell you what detail would help next.
Start with a question
You do not need a full set of paperwork to ask about a sale. Start with the address, what you know about the house, who is involved, and any date or notice on your mind. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.
