From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Start with what you know
Tell us the address, the house’s condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. Mention an estate, payoff, lien, tax notice, or other issue if one is part of the situation. You do not need every answer or document before the first conversation.
Talk through the property and offer
We ask about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing, then talk through the available sale paths with you. 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 written terms before deciding.
Let the title company check the details
The title company works through ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, and other details needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money. Keep any notices, payoff information, or estate papers you already have available.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the money breaks down, including the sale price and amounts applied to payoffs and other settlement items. 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
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.

Review the settlement sheet and conveyance fee
The settlement sheet breaks down the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, 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.
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law sets a required $1 per $1,000 of the price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §319.54 ↗ and §322.02 ↗). Ohio law assigns the fee to the seller. When you sell to us, we pay it.
