Compare the choices
A listing may suit you if you want retail-buyer exposure and can take on preparation and access. Compare cleaning, repairs, photos, showings, inspection requests, agent commissions if applicable, concessions, utilities, taxes, payoff, and the time you may carry the house. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
With a Cash Offer, USA Home Buyers buys directly, so there are no listing-agent showings. No agent commissions when you sell to us. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.

Local property context
Courthouse Hill is a 30-block Janesville area with structures built from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. If an older home needs work, we buy it as-is, without requiring repairs or cleaning.
Janesville's history page identifies the Old Fourth Ward as one of the city's oldest residential areas and places Rockport and Monterey within it. We can discuss an as-is sale based on the house's current condition.
Before closing
We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with you and the title company. The title company confirms which owners or representatives need to sign; if authority is unclear or disputed, a Wisconsin attorney can advise you.
On a Wisconsin sale that isn't exempt, the real estate transfer fee is 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. It is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt; recording and other closing charges are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
If a tenant lives there, we discuss the lease, access, and possession in the written terms before you commit. For advice about a specific lease or notice, a Wisconsin attorney can advise you.
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.

Compare the written price and terms with the likely listing work and costs for your house: repairs, cleaning, showings, commissions if you use an agent, concessions, utilities, taxes, payoff, and the time you may carry the property. A list price or offer headline is not the same as what you keep.
No. These figures show broad Janesville market context, not an estimate or offer for your address. Your property's condition, occupancy, title, and payoff shape its options.
We review ownership, estate, or court papers with the title company to confirm who needs to sign. If authority is unclear or disputed, a Wisconsin attorney can advise you.
Use the date and instructions on the actual notice and contact the lender, servicer, or court named there. Asking for an offer does not change an official deadline. Ask a Wisconsin attorney or qualified housing resource promptly if you are unsure what the notice requires.
Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff's auction until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. Check the actual judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date promptly. 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.
