Selling your Cincinnati house in three steps
Most Cincinnati closings run through a local title agency, and the deed is recorded with the Hamilton County Recorder. No staging, no lockbox, and no waiting to see whether a buyer's loan comes through.
-
Step 1
Give us the basics
Street address, the problems you already know about (the basement, the retaining wall, the roof), and when you'd like to be done.
-
Step 2
A single visit and a written number
We study recent sales on your side of town, walk the house and yard with you once, and email a price in writing that shows who pays each closing cost.
-
Step 3
The title agency takes over
Say yes and the title agency orders the search and payoffs. The soonest date depends on how clean the title is; anything after that is up to you.
Cincinnati houses we buy
Cincinnati grew up fast in the 1800s as an Ohio River port, first packed into the flat basin by the river and then climbing the hills around it once inclines and streetcars made the slopes reachable. That history is still in the housing: narrow brick rowhouses downtown and in Over-the-Rhine, two- and three-family brick buildings in the older hilltop neighborhoods, frame houses tucked onto steep side streets, and postwar brick ranches farther out toward the city line. We buy all of it, in whatever condition it's in.
Brick Italianates and rowhouses
Tall, narrow 1800s buildings with soft old brick, tuckpointing that's overdue, sagging floors, a rear addition that leans, or upper floors nobody has used in years.
Two-family and three-family houses
Up-and-down units in Price Hill, Westwood, Northside and similar neighborhoods, with shared boilers, separate meters or not, and tenants in place or long gone.
Hillside frame houses
Homes on steep lots with long stairs to the street, cracked retaining walls, a yard that has started to slip, or a foundation that has moved.
Postwar brick ranches and Cape Cods
1940s to 1960s houses with original windows, a basement that seeps after storms, an old furnace, or a kitchen and bath from decades ago.
What Cincinnati sellers bring us
A slope or retaining wall problem
Cincinnati's hillsides are known for slow-moving landslides, and repairs can be costly. A cracked wall or a shifting backyard can scare off a buyer who needs a loan. We look at it, price it in, and buy it as it is.
Water in the basement
Heavy rain can back up older sewer lines into basements in parts of the city, and homes near the Ohio River or Mill Creek may sit in a mapped flood area. Tell us what has happened; it doesn't rule out an offer.
A family home on the west side
When the heirs to a Price Hill or Westwood house live in other cities, clearing it out from afar is hard. We buy it with the contents, the garage and the basement workshop untouched.
City orders or a vacant building
Open code orders from the city's buildings department, or a house that has sat empty and picked up vacant-building requirements. We review the orders before we price the house.

Questions from Cincinnati homeowners
My lot has had a landslide or the retaining wall is failing. Will you still buy?
Yes. Much of Cincinnati is built on hillsides of clay soil, and slow ground movement is a known local problem. A buyer with a mortgage may walk away once an inspector sees it. We don't need a lender's approval, so we can buy with the problem in place. If you know about movement, a failing wall or past repair work, note it on Ohio's residential property disclosure form. We'll check the city's hillside and landslide information for the parcel before we put a price in writing.
Does a flood zone or a sewer backup history matter?
It's worth telling us about, but it doesn't stop a sale. Parts of the East End, the river towns west of downtown and the Mill Creek valley sit in mapped flood areas. Away from the river, some older basements have taken in water when the sewers back up in heavy storms. The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati runs a Sewer Backup Program, so if you've filed a claim or had work done, have the paperwork handy. We'll pull the flood map ourselves.
What about the old lead water line to my house?
Many older Cincinnati homes were connected to the water main with lead service lines. Greater Cincinnati Water Works runs a lead service line replacement program and currently says it covers the full cost of replacing the private side for property owners who take part. Check with GCWW whether your line qualifies. If yours hasn't been replaced, you don't need to do it before selling to us. Tell us what you know and we'll factor it in.
The house is in a historic district in Over-the-Rhine or nearby. Can I sell it as-is?
Yes. Cincinnati has local historic districts, including in Over-the-Rhine, where exterior work such as windows, doors, masonry and additions generally needs review by the city before it's done. That rule stays with the building after a sale, so you don't have to fix anything first. We check the district before we make an offer, and the price already reflects it.
Where does the paperwork go after closing?
The title agency records the deed with the Hamilton County Recorder and pays the county's conveyance fee from the closing funds as the contract directs. Hamilton County taxes are generally billed in two halves and paid in arrears, so your closing statement will usually show a credit for taxes that built up while you owned the house. If you received the owner-occupancy credit or the homestead exemption, let the Hamilton County Auditor know once you've moved out.
