2. The sale, step by step
From the property conversation to settlement
Talk through the house and what you know
Start with the Beckley address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax notice, code notice, or foreclosure deadline is part of the situation, tell us what you know so far.
Review the property and the written offer
We talk about the house as it sits, including repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. 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. Read the written price and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Check title, signing authority, and payoffs
If you choose to move forward, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money. Keep any statements, notices, or estate papers you have available for that review.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. If you decide to sign, the closing takes place through the title company.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
3. Two ways to sell
Compare the 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.

4. Beckley and Raleigh County details
Check which local jurisdiction covers the property
Beckley is in Raleigh County, and the county identifies Beckley as its county seat; the city and county are separate governments. The City-hosted Beckley 2045 plan is marked draft and describes city limits with unincorporated pockets. A Beckley mailing address alone does not establish whether a particular parcel is inside city limits or which office has authority. If a notice is part of the sale, start with the agency named on it and confirm which office handles that property.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and West Virginia transfer excise tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, other costs, and amount scheduled for you. Ask about any line you do not recognize. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
West Virginia calculates its real estate transfer excise taxes in $500 increments, with a partial increment counted as a full one. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500; the additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 and may be raised by the county commission to $1.65 per $500. The combined base rate is $1.65 per $500, but the applicable county rate can make the total higher. The title company confirms the rate and amount for this sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from that closing-cost promise.
6. When things get difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Beckley sale-process questions
Can I start before every property question is settled?

Who checks title, signing authority, and payoffs?
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. If the property is part of an estate, keep the papers you have available so the title company can review who has authority to sign.
