What are the practical ways to sell an as-is house?
List with an agent
Ask an agent what listing the house in its current condition would involve. Compare likely preparation and repair work, buyer access and showings, costs under the listing agreement, and the bills you would carry while it is for sale.
Sell the house yourself
Selling without an agent puts marketing, buyer inquiries, showings, price discussions, and sale coordination in your hands. Weigh the time and professional support those tasks may take for this property.
USA Home Buyers has two purchase options. Compare their written terms with listing or selling by owner, including who buys, how the programs differ, and what work and costs each path involves.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and difficult circumstances such as heavy repairs or a tight timeline. EZ Sale may fit better when the house does not need major repairs and you want a higher number. The comparison shows the approved program terms; read the written numbers for your property before deciding.
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.

Why the parcel’s county matters in Aurora
Aurora’s city boundary crosses Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. City, county, township, and state are separate jurisdictions; a city name alone does not identify the county or local records for a particular parcel. Check the property address and parcel records before using a county-specific resource. The boundary information comes from the U.S. Census TIGERweb Aurora place query.
For property within Aurora’s jurisdiction, the City publishes separate transfer-tax and Statement of Open Accounts instructions. The City says to request the statement at least five business days before closing, and that it comes before a municipal transfer-tax stamp, including an exempt stamp. Confirm whether the City’s process applies to the parcel and transaction with the current instructions and closing team. See the City’s real estate transfer-tax instructions and Statement of Open Accounts information.
Which costs should you compare before choosing?
For a listing, compare likely repairs or cleanout, preparation and showing needs, costs under the listing agreement, and the bills you would carry while waiting. For a direct sale, compare its written price and terms with your payoff and other property obligations. A headline price alone does not show what you may keep.
For a taxable Illinois transfer, the state tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. Exemptions and taxable value can change the amount; the property’s actual county and city determine the local taxes and who is responsible. See the Illinois Department of Revenue real-estate transfer-tax information and Illinois Property Tax Code §31-10.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from those closing costs.
Pick your condition — light touch-ups through fire damage — and see what you'd actually walk away with. Change any number in it.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What can you do next?
Share the Aurora property address, what needs work, whether anyone lives there, and the timing that matters to you. You do not need to finish repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout before asking USA Home Buyers about an as-is sale.

Which county applies to an Aurora property?
Aurora’s city boundary crosses Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. The parcel’s actual county and local jurisdiction depend on its address and parcel records.
What Illinois transfer taxes and Aurora closing steps should I compare?
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500; a county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own tax. The actual parcel, taxable value, and any exemption affect the local amount. Aurora’s City instructions put a Statement of Open Accounts before its municipal transfer-tax stamp and ask that it be requested at least five business days before closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
