From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Talk through the house and what you know
Start with the Fremont address, the condition, who is living there, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If a payoff, lien, estate, tenant, tax, or deadline is unclear, tell us what you know so far.
Step 2: Review the property as it is
We talk through the condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and the choices that fit your situation. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. A lien is a recorded claim for money against the property. Estate or court papers may need review when they apply.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
A 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.
Two ways to sell to us: 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.

Before settlement
Review the settlement figures and Ohio conveyance fee
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.
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and Sandusky County may add up to $3 per $1,000. For county-specific fee questions, contact the Sandusky County Auditor ↗. Ohio conveyance fee: When you sell to us, we pay it. The title company confirms the applicable amount in the final settlement figures.
