Your offer and closing
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
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. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
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.
“After the Chrysler supplier closed, I was out of work for fourteen months and never really caught back up. The mortgage servicer filed in Winnebago County and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained where the Illinois judicial timeline was, gave me a written offer in forty-eight hours, and we closed in twelve days before judgment. I came out with $28,000.”
“The sewer line backed up into the basement twice in two years — the city said it was a main line issue they were working on. Second time we had four inches of sewage in the basement and the HVAC system was a complete loss. USA Home Buyers came out two days after I called. Fair number, closed in fourteen days.”
“I'd worked at the Chrysler supplier in Belvidere for nineteen years when the plant shut down. Then a job offer came in from a manufacturer in Indianapolis — good opportunity, but I had four weeks to figure out the house. USA Home Buyers gave me a real number the next day. We closed in ten days. I made the Indianapolis start date with a week to spare.”
