From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, occupancy, access, and the timing you are considering. Mention an estate, payoff, lien, tax notice, tenant, or code notice if it is part of the situation. You do not need every answer before the first conversation; begin with what you know.
2. Talk through the property and choices
We discuss the house as it sits, its condition, access, occupancy, ownership questions, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can compare a direct sale with listing, repairing, waiting, or another option that fits your plans.
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 deciding what works for you.
4. Work through title and payoff details
If you choose to move forward, the title company reviews the deed, ownership, who needs to sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, and the documents needed for settlement. Keep actual statements and notices available so the right questions can be reviewed. A payoff, lien, back tax, and current property-tax share are separate settlement figures.
5. 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'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
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms with each other and with listing or another option. Read the written numbers, responsibilities, timing, possession, and costs, then choose what works best for you.
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.

Wellsville and Allegany County details
Start with the property's actual municipality
Allegany County lists the Town of Wellsville and Village of Wellsville separately. Check the property address and parcel before relying on a Village or Town office for a tax, permit, or code question; the correct local contact depends on the municipality.
Allegany County deed and mortgage records
The County Clerk publishes deed and mortgage record information. A public-record search can help locate documents; the title company reviews what is needed for this sale.
Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and transfer-tax line
The settlement sheet lists the price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before any local tax or exemption. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer. Read New York State's real estate transfer-tax guidance ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.
