From first conversation to settlement
The Lewistown sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
We ask about condition, occupancy, access, ownership questions, and timing. Tell us what you know; anything still unclear can be discussed as we go.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We review the property and give you a written cash offer. 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.
3. Work through title and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the records needed for closing. Bring any deed, payoff statement, lien notice, or estate papers you have; you can start the conversation before all of them are in hand.
4. Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out how the 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 choose to proceed, the sale closes through the title company.
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
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.

Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and Pennsylvania transfer tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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 transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. Read Pennsylvania Revenue's realty-transfer-tax information. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate items on the settlement sheet.
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.
