Compare the ways to sell
List it for sale
Listing can expose the home to retail buyers, but may involve preparation, showings, and time before closing. The list price is not what you keep after costs and payoff.
Compare a direct purchase
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.
Cash Offer
USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
EZ Sale
Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Yes, partner visits. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
A local detail: Peoria has older homes, too
A 2024 Peoria housing profile reports that 24.3% of the city's housing units were built before 1940. The City of Peoria identifies deteriorated houses as a property-maintenance concern. If you are selling a repair-sensitive home, USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Costs and details that change what you keep
Listing may involve preparation or cleanout costs, agent commissions, bills while you wait, and closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts. For a taxable Illinois transfer, the state charges a transfer tax; counties can add one, and some cities impose their own. What applies depends on the property's location and taxable value.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Use the Peoria home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare an estimate of what a listing may leave you with against a written offer. A calculator result is an estimate, not a price for your property.
