Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
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. If you proceed, sign and close through the title company.
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.

Washington Court House and Fayette County details
Local records can help answer property questions
Fayette County records are a starting point. The title company checks the deed, who owns the property, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for this closing. A lien is a claim against property for money owed; a payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. If an estate or court deadline is involved, check the actual papers with the appropriate court, attorney, lender, or title company before relying on a closing timeline.
Fayette County Recorder ↗
Use the Recorder as a starting point for deeds and other recorded land documents.
Fayette County Treasurer ↗
Check with the Treasurer about real-estate tax information for the property.
The Recorder helps locate recorded documents; the Auditor and Treasurer provide county property and tax information. Those records do not replace the title company's review of the actual sale.
Closing numbers
Read the settlement sheet and Ohio conveyance fee
The settlement sheet lists the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for you. Read it against the written terms and ask about any line you do not recognize.
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when real estate transfers, and the seller pays it under Ohio law: $1 per $1,000 of price statewide, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). The title company confirms the amount that applies to the property. When you sell to us, we pay it.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.
