Compare a listing, Cash Offer, and EZ Sale

A listing can bring your house to more buyers, but may involve repairs or preparation, showings, buyer negotiations, agent compensation, and costs while you wait. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Compare the likely money you keep and the work involved, not just the contract price.

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 commissions, no closing costs.

EZ Sale

Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Yes, partner visits.

EZ Sale does include partner visits. No fees.

Pennsylvania charges a 1% state transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. (Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.)

How a Lancaster sale works

  1. 1. Tell us what matters. Call or use the form to share the Lancaster address and your preferred timing. Nothing needs to be repaired, cleaned, or removed first.
  2. 2. We review the details. We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and timing based on the property details you share.
  3. 3. Review the written terms. We give you a written offer and clear written terms to review before you commit; if you accept, we close through a title company. A Cash Offer is 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
  4. 4. Review the closing numbers. 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.
