From first conversation to settlement
The Sayre sale process, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Share the address, condition, who lives there, access and timing. Mention a mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, estate or deadline if it affects the property. Start with what you know; you do not need every answer first.
2. Talk through the property
We talk about the house as it is, including its condition, occupancy, ownership, access and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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 you decide.
4. Check title, authority and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, who owns the house, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes and estate authority. Bring the current statements, notices and estate papers you have so questions that affect settlement can be addressed.
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. Decide and close through the title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is through the title company. The company confirms the final numbers and gives you the instructions for settlement.
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.

A local detail that can affect the right contact
Confirm the property is in Sayre Borough
Sayre refers here to Sayre Borough in Bradford County. The county describes the borough at the county's northern edge, next to New York; that orientation does not determine a particular parcel's boundary. If you are unsure which municipality covers the property, check with the relevant local office. See Bradford County's Sayre Borough overview ↗.
Closing numbers
See where the sale money goes
The settlement sheet lists the sale price, payoffs, taxes, costs and the amount scheduled for you. 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 realty transfer tax, and most towns add a local tax. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate settlement figures.
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.
