If you accept, a local title company handles the paperwork and you're paid at closing. If you don't, that's the end of it.

Selling in Columbus: what to know
- Foreclosure in Ohio
- Judicial (through the courts)
- Ohio foreclosures go through the county Court of Common Pleas and end in a sheriff's sale. The court process usually takes months, and you can generally sell the house any time before the sale is confirmed.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Columbus, the estate is usually handled through Franklin County Probate Court.
- Columbus crosses county lines
- Most of Columbus is in Franklin County, but parts of the city reach into Delaware and Fairfield Counties. The county decides where the estate is opened, where the deed is recorded and who sends your tax bill.
- Transfer-on-death affidavits
- Ohio lets a homeowner record a transfer-on-death designation affidavit naming who gets the house. If the owner did, the house can pass to that person without going through probate, and they can sell it once the paperwork is recorded. A probate attorney can confirm what applies to you.
What I hear from Columbus sellers
- Older houses that need major repairs before they could compete with updated listings.
- Inherited homes being handled through Franklin County Probate Court.
- Landlords ready to sell rentals, with or without tenants.
Columbus questions
Do you really buy houses in Columbus if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Columbus and its suburbs across Franklin County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Ohio title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Ohio, and can I still sell?
Ohio foreclosures go through the county Court of Common Pleas and end in a sheriff's sale. The court process usually takes months, and you can generally sell the house any time before the sale is confirmed. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Columbus. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through Franklin County Probate Court. I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work.
How fast can you close on a house in Columbus?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
