Estimate what you could keep
Beckley, WV illustrative estimate
Beckley home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.
Starting-value basis: Zillow typical home value for Beckley, WV (As of September 2026): $149,614. Editable estimate, not an appraisal. Source: Zillow Home Value Index
The combined base tax is $1.65 for each $500, or part of $500, of the estimated sale price. A higher county rate and the separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee are not included. Exemptions may apply.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.
Selling a house in West Virginia
Inherited house
Can you sell an inherited West Virginia house before probate is finished? Often, yes, but who signs depends on the will. The executor must qualify before acting for the estate; the county commission or its clerk handles appointment of an administrator when there is no will. If the will gives the executor power to sell real estate that was not specifically left to someone else, the executor may sell it unless the will says otherwise. If the will directs a sale, the executor or administrator with the will annexed may carry it out. If there is no will, the house passes to the heirs. Without a usable power of sale, the title company or an attorney needs to confirm the owners and who must sign. A decedent's real estate can still be reached to pay their debts, and a surviving spouse may have an elective-share claim for a limited time after death. Have the title company or an attorney confirm who must sign and which liens must be paid or released at closing. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Foreclosure
Can you still sell your West Virginia house in foreclosure? A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. When the loan is secured by a deed of trust, the trustee named in it can sell the house at public auction after a default, without a court case. The trustee generally must publish notice of the trustee's sale in the county where the property is, once a week for two weeks in a row. There is a narrow exception for an older deed of trust. The trustee must also send the borrower notice by certified mail, return receipt requested; the notice counts once mailed to the required address, even if it comes back. Sale proceeds pay the trustee's expenses, then the secured debts, and any surplus goes to the former owner. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Tenants
Can you sell a West Virginia rental with tenants in it? Yes. Under West Virginia law, a buyer of leased property steps into the landlord's position and can enforce the lease. The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. Selling does not by itself require the tenant to move. For security deposits, whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed to the tenant, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit. When a tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. Give the buyer the leases, deposit records and any tenant notices so the closing can account for each tenant.

West Virginia real estate transfer excise taxes
What transfer tax applies when a West Virginia house sells? West Virginia charges an excise tax on the privilege of transferring title to real estate. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. On top of that, an additional county excise tax of 55 cents per $500 applies, and a county commission may raise it to as much as $1.65. Each $500 or fraction counts, and value includes any liens the buyer takes over. At the base rates the combined tax is $1.65 per $500. That is $330 on a $100,000 sale, or $550 in a county charging the maximum. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. By law the seller pays, unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. Some transfers, such as no-consideration transfers between close family members, are excluded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.

Code violations and sale requirements
Can you sell a West Virginia house with open code violations? A sale may be possible, but the property's orders and liens matter. State law lets every city adopt an ordinance requiring owners to repair, close, remove or demolish unsafe, unsanitary or dangerous buildings. The city's code enforcement agency serves written notice, and the city can then do the work itself and file a lien for its costs. A municipal court can also place the building in receivership. County commissions have similar power. After notice and a chance for a hearing, a county commission can order repairs or demolition and impose daily penalties. It can then hire contractors and seek a lien to cover the costs. An as-is agreement does not erase these orders or liens. Send us the notices so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs, deadlines and closing requirements. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
