The short answer

Start with the house and what you need from the sale

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Compare a written offer with the work, costs, and timing of listing your property.

Compare your choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer, or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing may fit when you want to market the house to retail buyers and can handle preparation and access. Compare likely proceeds after repairs, cleanout, commission if you use an agent, concessions, payoff, bills while you wait, and the time needed for marketing and closing.

A direct as-is sale

We review the house in its current condition. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Compare the written price and terms with the costs and responsibilities that apply to your property.

Compare Cash Offer and EZ Sale

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. Direct property review. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

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.

Closing questions

Written terms, signing authority, and closing costs

You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company. We always review the settlement sheet with you 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.

Who can sign an inherited house sale?

An appointed executor can sign without a court order when the will gives that person power to sell (Ohio Rev. Code §2113.39). We work with the title company to confirm which authority documents apply to your property.

Ohio conveyance fee and other amounts

Ohio's conveyance fee is $1 per $1,000 of the sale price under state law, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. When you sell to us, we pay it. For local conveyance-fee questions, contact the Stark County Auditor. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Tenants, access, and possession

We consider the lease and possession details when we write the terms for an occupied property. The lease remains important to the closing and possession plan.

Where to find help

Questions Canton sellers ask

Can I sell my Canton house as-is?

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Canton and Stark County, Ohio. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

When will I get a written cash offer?

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

What is the difference between Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. EZ Sale — goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

Should I list my Canton house or sell directly?

Compare the written offer and terms with a listing estimate after preparation, repairs, commissions if you use an agent, carrying costs, and time. A listing may bring a different price, but it also takes work and access; compare what you would keep after the costs that apply to your house.

Do Canton market figures tell me what my house is worth?

No. Canton-wide housing measures are background, not a valuation or a timing estimate for one house.

What if a tenant lives in the house?

We consider the lease and occupancy details when we compare written terms for a tenant-occupied house. The lease and possession plan affect what a closing can look like.

Can I sell my Canton house if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?

Yes. Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through the court. You can generally still stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs and applicable interest with the court clerk (Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33). Selling first may help protect any equity you have. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
