How Selling Your Van Wert House to Us Works

1. 1

   Tell us what you know about the house

   Start with the Van Wert address, the condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If you do not know an answer yet, tell us what you do know.

2. 2

   Talk through the property and your choices

   We ask about repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing, then discuss the house as it sits. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

3. 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; the sale closes through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions before you decide.

4. 4

   Work through title, payoffs, and other details

   The title company works through ownership records, liens, mortgage payoff information, and documents needed for closing. Tell us if an estate, tax balance, lien, tenant, or deadline is part of the situation so those questions can be raised early. You can start the conversation while details are still being checked.

5. 5

   Review the settlement figures and close

   You decide whether to proceed after reviewing the written terms and settlement figures. 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.

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.

Both paths use written terms before you commit and close through a title company. Compare the numbers and responsibilities in writing before choosing.

An estate, recorded lien, mortgage payoff, tenant, or deadline can add questions to a sale. You can begin the conversation while those details are being checked. The title company works through the ownership and payoff information needed for closing.

Van Wert County’s official property and recorded-document resources are useful places to start looking up local records: County Auditor property information and County Recorder filed documents.

The conveyance fee

Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the price under state law, with a county option to add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). By law, the seller pays the fee. When you sell to us, we pay it.

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.

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.

If the house is inherited, has a lien, needs major repairs, or involves a deadline or tenant, tell us what you know. We can talk through the property while the title and payoff questions are being checked.
