Our experience
Our founder bought his first property in 2004 — more than 20 years of buying houses.
We've helped homeowners in just about every situation you can imagine — thousands of times. When you're working with someone, you want to know they've seen it before. We have.
Your offer and closing
We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, the closing goes through a title company.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from the Illinois State Library after thirty-one years. We'd talked about moving to Florida for years. The house in North Glenwood was fine — just bigger than we needed. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer. We closed in eight days and were in Sarasota before the weather turned cold.”
“I owned a rental on Maywood Drive for six years. Fine until the tenant stopped paying and started subletting to three other people I had never approved. Code enforcement showed up twice. USA Home Buyers bought it with the tenants still inside. I didn't have to do a single eviction filing. Nine days from first call to closing.”
“I'm a state employee — when my position got transferred to Chicago, I had about six weeks to sort out my house on the south side of Springfield before I needed to be up there. I didn't have time for showings, inspections, or waiting on a buyer's mortgage. USA Home Buyers gave me a written offer within 24 hours and we closed in ten days.”
