Here's our model in one sentence: we've vetted a network of local cash buyers across Ohio, and when you tell us about your Delaware County property, we match it with the buyer best positioned to make a strong offer and actually close. You pay nothing, you're obligated to nothing, and you get a real number — usually within 24 hours. (For context: Delaware County has about 226,834 residents, and its median home is worth roughly $446,000 — numbers that matter for what comes next.)
Why the matchmaker model instead of "we buy houses" directly? Because the buyer who pays the most for a rental with tenants is rarely the one who pays the most for a probate estate or a fire-damaged colonial. Matching each property to the right specialist — and keeping only buyers who close at their offered price — is how sellers here get both speed and a fair number.

Ohio law, in plain English
Ohio foreclosures are judicial: suit, appraisal, and sheriff's sale where the property can't sell for less than two-thirds of appraised value. County timelines vary widely — Cuyahoga and Franklin move slower than rural courts. Ohio homeowners can redeem any time until the court confirms the sale — often 30+ days after the auction itself, a window many owners don't know exists.
Ohio probate stays open at least six months for claims. The state's release-from-administration shortcut covers estates under $35,000 ($100,000 to a surviving spouse), so an inherited house usually means full administration — though a transfer-on-death designation avoids it entirely.
Ohio's conveyance fee is $1 per $1,000 statewide plus up to $3 per $1,000 county — 0.1%-0.4% total, seller-paid. None of this is legal advice — but knowing the local rules is why a genuinely Ohio-based buyer prices and closes better than a national call center.

Delaware County seller questions, answered
Is any house too damaged to sell?
Practically, no. Network buyers in Delaware County have purchased fire-damaged homes, houses with failed foundations, hoarder properties, storm damage, and houses that need to be torn down for the lot. The condition changes the price, not the possibility — land value alone puts a floor under nearly every property.
What if the inherited house still has a mortgage or a reverse mortgage?
The loan is paid off from sale proceeds at closing, like any sale. Reverse mortgages add urgency: after the borrower's death, the servicer typically expects the loan resolved within months (extensions are possible but not guaranteed), and interest accrues the whole time. A fast as-is sale is often the cleanest way for heirs to satisfy the loan and capture remaining equity.
How long does foreclosure take in Ohio?
Ohio foreclosures are judicial: suit, appraisal, and sheriff's sale where the property can't sell for less than two-thirds of appraised value. County timelines vary widely — Cuyahoga and Franklin move slower than rural courts. From first missed payment to a completed sale, plan on roughly 8 to 14 months — but don't budget your decision to the end of that range. Executing a clean sale takes time too, and options narrow sharply once a sale date is set.
How is the offer amount determined?
Buyers start from what your home would sell for in Delaware County fully updated — local values here run around $446,000 at the median — then subtract the actual cost of repairs and renovation, their holding and transaction costs, and a reasonable margin. Legitimate buyers will walk you through that math openly. Because network buyers know they're being compared, offers are built to win the deal.
Do I have to make repairs or clean the house first?
No — every buyer in our network purchases as-is. That includes serious issues (roof, foundation, fire or water damage) and full houses of belongings. You take what you want and leave the rest. The buyer walks the property once, prices the work into the offer, and there's no inspection renegotiation afterward.
What kinds of properties do buyers purchase in Delaware County?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes and small multifamily, inherited properties, rentals (occupied or vacant), and houses in any condition — from move-in ready to condemned. If it has a deed in Ohio, there's very likely a buyer in the network for it.
