What we do
Sell My House Fast in Columbus, Whatever Your Situation Is
Every sale starts the same way: you send us the address, and we send a written cash offer. What changes is the paperwork and timing around your situation. Here is how a direct sale works for the eight situations Columbus homeowners ask us about most.
Sell a House That Needs Repairs As-Is
Roof leaks, foundation cracks, fire or water damage, old systems or years of deferred upkeep can make a Columbus house hard to sell on the open market, because many buyers need a mortgage and an inspection that passes. We buy houses as-is for cash, so you do not repair, clean out or stage anything. We account for the condition in the offer, and you keep the work off your plate.
Sell an Inherited House
An inherited house often comes with taxes, utilities, insurance, a clean-out and heirs who live in different places. If you do not want to keep it, we can buy it as-is and close on a date that suits the family. If the estate is open, we work around the court’s timing (see probate below).
Sell a House During Probate
In Franklin County, estates go through the Franklin County Probate Court, and an executor or administrator generally needs authority from the will or the court to sell estate real estate. Once that authority is in place, we can buy the house as-is and close when the estate is ready. Speak with a probate attorney about your specific estate.
Sell a House During Divorce
A jointly owned house can stall a divorce. A direct sale gives both owners one clear offer, one closing date and no repairs or showings to argue over. Because the sale needs both owners’ agreement (and may need court approval), we work with your attorneys on timing.
Sell a House Before Foreclosure
If you are behind on the mortgage, a fast cash sale may let you pay off the loan and move on before the sale is ordered, though it depends on how much you owe and how far along the case is. Contact us early, and talk to a housing counselor or attorney about every option, including a loan modification.
Sell a House Without a Realtor
You can sell your Columbus house without a realtor by selling directly to us. There is no listing, no showings and no agent commission to pay, and we put our offer in writing. If your house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, we will tell you honestly when listing with an agent may net you more.
Sell a Vacant House
An empty house still costs property taxes, insurance and utilities, and it can attract vandalism and code complaints. Selling it as-is for cash stops those costs and the worry of an unattended property. Tell us whether it is locked up, boarded or hoarded, and we will plan around it.
Sell a Rental or Tenant-Occupied House
Vacancies, repair bills and difficult tenants wear landlords down. In many cases we can buy a rental with tenants in place, subject to the lease terms and tenant rights. Send us the lease end date and rent details, and we will explain the options before you decide.
Local guide for Columbus sellers
Selling a House in Columbus: What to Know First
These are the local and Ohio rules we are asked about most. This is general information, not legal advice, so check your own situation with a real estate or probate attorney.
The Columbus market right now
According to Columbus REALTORS®, the median sale price across Central Ohio was $352,000 in June 2026, homes averaged 25 days on the market, and there were 2.2 months of supply. A move-in-ready house can do well on the open market. A house that needs repairs may take longer to sell and may attract lower offers, which is why some owners choose a direct cash sale instead.
Source: Columbus REALTORS®, Central Ohio Housing Report, June 2026. Figures cover Central Ohio, not only the city of Columbus.
Ohio’s seller disclosure form
Ohio law generally requires sellers of one-to-four-unit homes to complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form and give it to buyers. Some transfers are exempt, including certain estate and court-ordered transfers. Ask your attorney or title company what applies to your sale.
Source: Ohio Revised Code 5302.30
Selling an inherited or probate house
Estates in Franklin County go through the Franklin County Probate Court. An executor or administrator generally needs authority to sell estate real estate, either from the will or from the court, and timing depends on the estate. We work around that timing.
Source: Franklin County Probate Court
If foreclosure has already started
Ohio foreclosures go through the courts. In Franklin County, a court orders the sale and the Sheriff appraises, advertises and sells the property at public auction. A homeowner can generally redeem until the court confirms the sale, which is usually filed 30 to 60 days after the sale. If you are behind, act early and talk to a housing counselor or attorney.
Code violations on a Columbus property
Columbus Code Enforcement enforces the city’s housing, zoning and nuisance-abatement codes. A Violation Notice lists the violations and a contact officer, and unresolved violations can lead to fines and court action. We buy houses with open violations as-is, so you do not have to fix them before selling.
Cash buyer or agent?
Benefits of Selling Your Columbus House Directly to a Cash Buyer
Selling To Cash For Keys Offer vs. Listing With A Local Agent
Traditional Home Sale
- Agent commission and seller closing costs come out of your proceeds.
- Closing takes weeks or months, and offers can fall through.
- Repairs, cleaning and staging are often needed before listing.
- Financing, appraisal or home-sale contingencies.
- Showings and open houses.
Selling With Cash For Keys Offer
- No contingencies.
- Pay no fees or commissions to sell your home.
- Close When You're Ready
- Sell your home in “as-is” condition.
- We pay 100% of the closing costs.
Is a cash offer right for you?
A cash offer is often lower than what a fully repaired, move-in-ready house could earn on the open market, because you are skipping repairs, showings, commissions and months of carrying costs. If your house is in good shape and you can wait, listing with an agent may net you more. If speed, certainty or the condition of the house matter most, selling to us can make more sense. We will tell you honestly which one fits. Compare your options.
Before you sign anything

What a company!! I would recommend this team to family and friends… all my questions were answered promptly and explained thoughtfully. We wanted to wait a little longer to sell, but again Isaiah worked beautifully… thanks to all who helped me sell my house and 5 Golden stars to each of you!

I was not an easy buyer to work with and Isaiah was nothing but patient and professional and continued to do everything he could to successfully get this deal to closing. I highly highly recommend him and this company for anything!

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a House Fast in Columbus Ohio
How can I sell my house fast in Columbus, OH?
The fastest way to sell a house in Columbus is usually to sell directly to a cash buyer. Send us your address and a few details, and we make a written cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you choose the closing date. Because there are no showings, no buyer financing and no repairs, many sales close in 7 to 14 days.
Do you buy houses in Columbus as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, including houses with major repairs, fire, flood, foundation or termite damage, mold, hoarder conditions and vacant properties. You do not need to repair, stage or deep clean before selling.
How fast can I sell my house in Columbus?
You receive a written offer within 24 hours of sending us your details. Many sales close in 7 to 14 days, and you can choose a later date, up to 12 months out, if you need more time. Closing speed also depends on clear title and paperwork, so we give you a realistic date with your offer.
Do I pay commissions, fees or closing costs when selling to you?
No. You pay no agent commission or fees to sell to us, and we pay the closing costs. The offer is put in writing, so you can see the numbers before you agree to anything.
Do you buy inherited or vacant houses in Columbus?
Yes. We buy inherited houses, houses in probate and vacant houses. If the estate is still going through the Franklin County Probate Court, tell us where things stand and we will work around the timing. A vacant house keeps costing taxes, utilities and insurance, so selling it as-is can stop those costs.
Am I obligated to accept your cash offer?
No. Every offer is no-obligation. Take as much time as you need to review it, compare it with other options and talk to an attorney or advisor. If it is not right for you, you can say no.
How do I get a cash offer for my Columbus house?
Fill in the form on this page or call us. We ask for the property address, the condition of the house and your timeline, and we send a written offer within 24 hours.
Can I sell a house in probate or one I inherited?
Yes, with the right authority. In Ohio, an executor or administrator generally needs authority from the will or the Probate Court to sell estate real estate. Once that is in place, we can buy the house as-is and close on a date that works for the estate. For legal questions, speak with an Ohio probate attorney.
Is a cash offer lower than listing with an agent?
Often, yes. A cash offer reflects that you skip repairs, showings, agent commissions and months of carrying costs, so it can be lower than what a fully repaired house might sell for on the open market. If your house is move-in ready and you are not in a hurry, listing may net you more, and we will tell you so.
