From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us what you know about the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If a mortgage payoff, lien, inherited ownership, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, mention it. Start with what you know; the remaining property questions can be sorted out during the conversation.
Talk through the property
We ask about the house as it sits, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You can ask what information is still needed for a property review and compare a direct sale with listing or another option.
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, timing, and costs before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoff details
The title company reviews the ownership records and the documents needed for settlement. It works from lender payoff information and other records to identify amounts that need to appear in the closing figures. If the house is inherited, or you know of a lien, tax balance, or court notice, share the papers you have so the right items can be checked.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet breaks down the sale price, mortgage or other payoffs, taxes, fees, other costs, and the amount scheduled to be paid out. 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.
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.

Zanesville and Muskingum County details
Gather the property records you already have
County property, deed, and tax records can help you find details to bring into the sale conversation. A public-record search is a starting point; the title company checks what applies to the specific closing. If an estate, lien, mortgage payoff, or court notice affects the house, tell us early and keep the related paperwork handy.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and Ohio conveyance fee
Check the settlement sheet against the written terms. It lists the price, payoffs, taxes, fees, other costs, and the amount scheduled for you. The title company confirms the final numbers.
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells, and by law the seller pays it: a required $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). The title company confirms the amount that applies to the property, and other payoff, tax, and closing-cost lines appear separately. When you sell to us, we pay it.
