## Kanawha County context

Selling anywhere in Kanawha County runs through the same offices in Charleston. West Virginia is a non-judicial foreclosure state: the trustee advertises the sale and conducts the auction under the deed of trust, usually at the county courthouse, and the timeline can run in weeks once publication starts. Estates are administered through the Kanawha County Commission's fiduciary process, which qualifies executors and administrators and supervises estate settlements. The Kanawha County Assessor maintains the values behind every file, and county-recorded tax liens and flood notes follow the property, not the person. InTym Properties pulls the county records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is county-level too. West Virginia charges a real estate excise tax collected when the deed records: $1.10 per $500 of value, plus a county excise tax of at least $0.55 per $500 that Kanawha County and other counties can set higher by ordinance. Closings run through licensed West Virginia real estate attorneys, and the seller's other costs are typically attorney fees, recording fees, and prorated county and municipal property taxes, each itemized in your written offer before you sign. The city page below carries its own median price, days on market, and trend.

The county records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the West Virginia Secretary of State business registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the Kanawha County Clerk's records, and a licensed West Virginia real estate attorney can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### How does foreclosure work in Kanawha County?

West Virginia foreclosure is non-judicial through a trustee sale under the deed of trust: the trustee advertises the sale and conducts the auction, typically at the county courthouse in Charleston. You can sell any time before the sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop it.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Kanawha County?

West Virginia charges a real estate excise tax of $1.10 per $500 of value plus a county excise tax of at least $0.55 per $500, collected by the Kanawha County Clerk at recording, plus attorney and recording fees and prorated property taxes. Your written offer shows every cost line by line before you sign.

### My property is in an estate with the county commission. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes when the Kanawha County Commission's fiduciary process clears the estate and the personal representative has authority to sign. Your attorney sets the real timeline.

### How fast can you close in Kanawha County?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. A financed Charleston sale runs months once you add days on market to the lender's timeline; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
