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 about selling in Zanesville
What will I keep if I sell my Zanesville house for cash?
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and payoffs, not the headline price. Compare a written offer with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, other selling costs, any payoff or liens, and the cost of holding the house. The actual numbers depend on the property and written terms.
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out a house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
The two options are described below. Compare the written numbers and responsibilities, then choose what works best for you.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee, and who pays it?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law sets a required $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). By law, the seller pays this fee. The title company can confirm the amount that applies to a Muskingum County property. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I ask about an inherited Zanesville house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. We can start with the house and what you know now. The estate documents and title review determine who can sign and what steps remain before closing.
Can you review a Zanesville house that still has tenants?
Yes. Tell us what you know about the lease, who lives there, access, any notices, and your timing. The lease and occupancy details matter to the sale plan.
What if a foreclosure notice or sale deadline is involved?
Share the notice and timing with us. Use the actual lender, court, or Sheriff notice to confirm the current deadline; asking about an offer does not change it.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. You can call with a question before every document or decision is figured out.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
