2. The sale, step by step
From the property conversation to settlement
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Butler address, the condition, who is living there, access, and the timing you are considering. You can begin the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it stands, including its condition, 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 talk through the property and the available sale choices.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews 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. Bring the statements and notices you have so the questions for this property can be checked.
Step 5: 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.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
3. Two ways to sell to us
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. Useful Butler and Butler County details
Start with the property's actual address
The City of Butler is in Butler County. The city and county identification is a starting point; it does not establish a particular parcel's jurisdiction or an estate's venue. Share the full address so the title company can check the deed, signing authority, payoffs, and liens for the property involved.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Pennsylvania transfer tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other entries, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax, and most municipalities add a local tax. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
These promises do not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those are separate settlement items.
