Smyrna straddles the Kent/New Castle line, with a historic downtown and fast-growing subdivisions along Route 13 and Route 1. We buy houses there as-is, including rentals and estate homes.
Smyrna requires an annual rental license and a passed rental inspection before each new tenant moves in ($75 inspection; $100 for a missed appointment), and prior tenants' water/sewer balances must be cleared. If you're tired of that cycle, we buy occupied or vacant rentals.
The town runs its own electric, water, and sewer utilities, and its property tax rate is $0.94 per $100 of assessed value. Any utility balances get settled at closing.
Smyrna levies the full 1.5% local share, so total realty transfer tax is 4%, customarily split between buyer and seller. Run the numbers.
The Smyrna Historic District and older homes near downtown can need systems and structural work that lenders balk at. We buy them as-is.
No repairs, no commissions, no obligation. Pick your own closing date.
