From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
We ask about the house as it sits, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You can begin with what you know; you do not need to resolve a payoff, lien, estate, or other open question before calling or sending the address.
2. Get the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit; the closing is through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding.
3. Work through title and payoff details
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for the sale. A mortgage payoff is the amount needed to satisfy the loan; a lien is a recorded claim that may need attention before title can transfer. Bring the statements, records, or notices you have so the title company can check what applies.
4. 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.
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.

Local details that can affect the steps
Clarksburg and Harrison County records
Clarksburg is in Harrison County. If a recorded deed or another county record may affect the sale, the Harrison County Clerk's online records page is a starting point for locating recorded documents. You can begin the conversation while a record or signing-authority question is still open; the title company checks the deed and documents needed for settlement.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and closing costs
The settlement sheet lists the sale price and the amounts paid or collected at closing, including any mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and other costs. Ask the title company about a line you do not recognize before signing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement figures; the closing-cost payment does not pay those amounts.
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.
