From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the address, condition, occupancy, access, ownership questions, and timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax account, notice, or move date is part of the picture, mention what you know. You do not have to settle every question before the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property and your options
We discuss the house as it sits, including repairs, who lives there, access, and your timing. We can explain the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices alongside listing or another path. You do not fix, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions. Ask questions and decide whether to proceed before signing.
4. Let the title company check the records
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff figures, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. If you have an estate paper, payoff statement, lien notice, or tax notice, share it as questions come up; the conversation can begin before every record is in hand.
5. Review the settlement sheet
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.
6. Close through the title company
If you choose to proceed, the title company handles closing under the written terms and 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.

Huntington and Cabell and Wayne County details
Check the property’s actual city and county
Huntington is the county seat of Cabell County and extends into Wayne County. A Huntington mailing address does not establish whether a property is inside City limits or which county contains the parcel. The City of Huntington Planning & Zoning page links its City Boundary Lookup; check the actual address and use the county where the property is located for county-record questions. City boundary and Planning & Zoning information ↗
City transfer charges for properties inside Huntington
For a property inside City limits, Huntington says outstanding City fees, taxes, and charges should be addressed before transfer or may be collected at the sale. Its Request for City Fees–Closing Form is due to Finance–Revenue 24 hours before the scheduled closing. Check the address and the City’s current instructions for the property-specific step. City property-transfer fees, taxes, and charges ↗
Wayne County Clerk
Use the Wayne County Clerk for county-document questions when the parcel is in Wayne County. Check the actual address rather than relying on a Huntington mailing address.
Closing figures
See how the settlement amount breaks down
The settlement sheet shows the sale figures and how the money is allocated. 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 charges a real estate transfer excise tax when title transfers. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax starts at 55 cents per $500, and the county commission may raise that additional rate to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and value includes liens the buyer takes over. At the base rates, the combined tax is $1.65 per $500. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law makes the seller responsible for the excise tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The additional county rate depends on the county where the property is located, so the title company confirms the current rate and final figures. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
