From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
We ask about the house as it sits, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You do not have to resolve every question before you call or send the address.
2. Get the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; the closing is through a title company. Read the price, timing, responsibilities, possession, costs, and conditions before deciding.
3. Work through title and payoff details
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for the sale. Keep the actual payoff statements, county records, estate papers, or notices available so the right question can be checked.
4. Review the settlement sheet and close
The 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 decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
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.

Local details that can affect the steps
Parkersburg and Wood County records
Parkersburg is in Wood County, the one county covered by this page. City and county offices keep different records. Use the official sites to find the right contact for a city-government question, county record, tax matter, estate paper, or notice; the title company can explain which sale documents it needs.
Wood County official website ↗
Find Wood County offices and official services here. For a deed, lien, tax, probate, or court-related question, bring the actual record or notice and confirm which office handles it.
A mortgage payoff, recorded lien, estate-authority question, unpaid tax balance, or court deadline can change what must be checked before settlement. A conversation or unsigned offer does not change a lender or court deadline; follow the current notice and ask the appropriate office or attorney about your situation.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and closing costs
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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
Closing costs are separate from a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those amounts, if they apply, are handled as separate settlement figures.
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.
Parkersburg process questions
Can I start before every property question is settled?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Who checks the title and settlement figures?
The title company reviews the deed, ownership and signing authority, payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. 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.
Which local offices can point me to Parkersburg or Wood County records?
Use the City of Parkersburg website for city-government questions and the Wood County website for county offices. The right contact depends on the record or notice, so have that document available when you ask.
