1. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the West Union address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can begin the conversation before every property question is settled; we can talk through what is known and what still needs checking.
Step 2: Talk through the property
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We ask about the house as it sits, who lives there, access, and what you are weighing against a listing or another option.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
You can read the written offer and sale terms before you commit. Review the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions. If you choose to proceed, the sale closes through a title company.
Step 4: Work through title and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed and ownership records, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, recorded liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. You can start talking with us while estate, title, or payoff questions are still being sorted out.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
We always review the settlement sheet with you 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.
Your side of settlement
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
2. Two ways to sell
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.

3. Useful local details
Adams County estate and property records
Adams County Probate Court publishes information about estate matters. The Adams County Auditor handles assessment, tax-list, and parcel-search questions, including county conveyance-fee questions. The Recorder handles deeds and recorded documents. For a sale, the title company reviews the records and documents that apply to the property.
4. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Ohio conveyance fee
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other charges, 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.
Ohio law assigns a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that a county may add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). For county amount questions, contact the Adams County Auditor.
