From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Youngstown address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing you are considering. Mention an estate, payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or notice if it is part of the situation. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property as it is
We ask practical questions about the house, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
4. Work through title, payoffs, and closing details
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership, who needs to sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is an amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. A lien is a legal claim for an amount tied to property. An estate or court matter may need its own records and review.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, 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. 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
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.
