Morgantown houses we buy
Morgantown is home to West Virginia University and WVU Medicine, and its older neighborhoods climb the hills above the Monongahela River. Many of those houses are a century old, rented, or simply more work than an owner wants.
Hillside homes
Steep lots, retaining walls, settling foundations, wet basements and long stairways are common here. We buy them as they are.
Older homes near downtown and campus
Houses from the early 1900s with old wiring, plaster walls, slate or worn roofs and dated systems.
Student and workforce rentals
Houses near WVU and the hospital that have been rented for years. Leases stay with the house, and tenants' security deposits are transferred to us at closing.
Situations we can help with
Done being a landlord
Turnover each summer, repairs between tenants and keeping up with the city's rental rules take time. Sell with the tenants in place.
Moving for work
Leaving for a new job, or bought a house while working at the university or hospital and now moving on? Set a closing date that fits the move.
Inherited a house
We can work with the estate's personal representative and wait for the Monongalia County paperwork before closing.
Behind on payments
If the price covers what you owe, the loan is paid off from the sale at closing. We can't stop a foreclosure and don't give legal or credit advice. A HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your options, often for free (call 800-569-4287 or search at hud.gov).
Cash sale or listing with an agent?
Listing with an agent can bring a higher price for an updated house. Our offer will usually be below full retail value. Here is what you get in exchange.
| Item | Cash sale to us | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs and cleaning | None. We buy as-is. | Often expected before photos and showings |
| Showings | One walk-through | As many as buyers request |
| Agent commission | None | Negotiated with your agent, often a percentage of the price |
| Buyer financing | The sale doesn't depend on a buyer's mortgage approval | Most buyers need a loan, which can delay or end a sale |
| Closing date | You choose, once title work is done | Set with the buyer and their lender |
| Sale price | Usually below full retail value | Can be higher, especially for updated homes |

Morgantown home seller questions
Can I sell a rental that's leased to WVU students?
Yes, even mid-lease. The leases stay with the house, the security deposits are transferred to us at closing, and we tell the tenants who the new owner is. If the house is inside city limits, let us know its rental registration and inspection status so we can plan for it.
How are property taxes handled when I sell in Monongalia County?
West Virginia property taxes are collected by the county sheriff in two halves, due September 1 and March 1, with a small discount for paying on time. Homes are assessed at 60% of their value. At closing, the taxes are usually prorated to the closing date as the purchase contract says, depending on which halves have been paid, and any past-due taxes are paid from the sale. Owners who are 65 or older or totally disabled can claim a $20,000 homestead exemption.
Do I need a seller's disclosure form in West Virginia?
West Virginia doesn't have a state seller disclosure form for most sales. If the house was built before 1978, federal law requires the seller to share what they know about lead-based paint. And even in an as-is sale, don't hide a problem you know about. Tell us, and the price will reflect it.
How does selling an inherited house work in West Virginia?
Estates are opened with the county clerk and county commission, and the personal representative can usually sell the house. West Virginia's small-estate process generally doesn't cover real estate. If the owner recorded a transfer-on-death deed, the house may pass to the beneficiary without probate. West Virginia has no inheritance tax. The estate's attorney can tell you which applies, and we can wait for the paperwork before closing.
Will your offer be lower than listing?
For a house in good shape, usually yes. In exchange you skip repairs, showings, commissions and buyer financing.
