From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Norwich address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we can talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
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, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring current statements, notices, or estate papers you have. If something is still unknown, you can begin with what you know while the needed records are identified.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out 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 Cash Offer and EZ Sale

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.

A Norwich and Chenango County detail

Check which Norwich municipality the property is in

The City of Norwich is Chenango County's county seat, and it is distinct from the Town of Norwich. A Norwich address by itself does not establish the parcel's municipality. If a local record or rule matters to the sale, confirm whether the property is in the city or town before relying on municipal information. See the City of Norwich visitor information ↗ and the New York State Chenango County profile ↗.

Closing numbers

See how the settlement figures add up

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed charges, 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.

New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer. For details, see the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance's real estate transfer tax information ↗.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

When things get difficult

We keep working through the bumps

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.
