Start with the property address and the details you know.
From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Share the address, condition, occupancy, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, tenant, notice, payoff, lien, tax balance, or title question is involved, mention it. You can begin before every document or answer is ready.
2. Talk through the property as it is
We ask practical questions about the house and your plans. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss repairs, cleanout, access, occupancy, and what still needs to be checked without asking you to settle every property question before the first conversation.
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, timing, responsibilities, possession, costs, and any property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
4. Work through title, payoff, and closing details
If you decide to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, who needs to sign, mortgage payoffs, recorded liens, taxes, and the documents needed for the sale. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a loan or other obligation. A lien is a claim against property that may need to be addressed in the closing figures. Estate authority, a court deadline, or a tenant arrangement may need its own current records and review.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
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.

Mansfield and Richland County
Local records can answer specific closing questions
Mansfield is in Richland County. For an inherited house, title and estate papers help show who can sign; if you do not know that yet, you can still start the conversation and sort out the right records as the sale is reviewed. The county's probate property guidance covers the local next-step questions.
The Richland County Recorder provides a starting point for recorded deeds and property documents. The Auditor and Treasurer provide county property and tax records. Those public records can help locate information; the title company checks the documents needed for this closing.
Before settlement
Review the numbers and Ohio conveyance fee
The settlement sheet lays out the written price, payoffs, taxes, and other applicable amounts, along with the money scheduled to go to you. 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.
Ohio law requires the seller to pay a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county may add. The title company can confirm the applicable Richland County amount. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Ohio Revised Code §319.54 and §322.02 set the state and county conveyance-fee rules. The title company can confirm the amount that applies to the property and show it on the settlement sheet.
When the process gets 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.
