Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the house, or use the form.
Share the property address, condition, occupancy, and timing you are considering.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
The short answer
You do not have to fix anything first to sell to us. Tell us whether it is a single-family home, duplex, rental, inherited property, or vacant house, and what matters about the timing. Then compare a written direct offer with a listing or holding the property.
Compare your choices
A listing may fit a house that is ready to show and a seller who has time for preparation and buyer visits. Price repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, buyer financing, commissions, closing costs, and the bills you will carry while it is listed. Ask the agent for an estimated net, not only a list price.
Selling is not the only choice. If a repair, rental plan, family decision, or temporary money problem can be handled on a workable schedule, compare that plan with the cost of holding the property. For legal, tax, estate, or court questions, get advice about your specific facts 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.
| Option | Who buys | Program timing and price | Repairs and transaction costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Compare the written numbers for your house, the work you avoid, the costs you keep, and the timing each path allows. You decide whether either option fits.

Lewiston market numbers
A city-wide measure is not a price for one house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, title, and the time you carry the property all change the comparison.
These measures describe housing prices and selling conditions for the areas and periods shown. Compare them alongside repair costs, your mortgage payoff and selling costs.
| Measure | Value | Source and area | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $321,250 | Redfin · Lewiston, ME | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Median days on market | 30 days | Redfin · Lewiston, ME | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Homes sold | 94 homes | Redfin · Lewiston, ME | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Typical home value (Zillow ZHVI) | $298,174 | Zillow · Lewiston, ME | As of August 2026 |
| For-sale inventory | 95 homes | Zillow · Lewiston, ME | As of August 2026 |
Include utilities, other bills and any mortgage payments while waiting to sell. Allow time for closing, too.
Current typical home value: $298,174 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Lewiston, ME). It is a market measure, not an offer for your property.
Sale price is not the same as money left after costs and payoffs. Use the calculator to compare an editable listing estimate with a direct-sale estimate; include the work and carrying costs that apply to your house.

Local property context
The City's history connects Lewiston's growth to the Androscoggin Falls, canal, and textile mills. The mill-era urban core includes older tenement and multifamily housing near the canal, alongside later suburban housing farther from downtown. If you own a rental or multi-unit property, include occupancy, lease, and repair details in the comparison.
The Tree Streets plan describes that Lewiston neighborhood as a core downtown neighborhood. If the house is there and needs work, start with its actual condition, who lives there, and the records for that address; the neighborhood name does not answer those property questions.
Maine closing costs
Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when a deed transfers real estate. The seller and buyer are each responsible for half under the state rule. For value above $1,000,000, an additional $3.80 per $500 applies to the portion above $1,000,000; that rate took effect November 1, 2025.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate items.

If a court case has started
Maine mortgage foreclosures go through court. For a home loan on the house you live in, the lender must first give written notice and at least 35 days to catch up. After you are sued, if you live in the 1–4 unit home, you can ask for mediation through the court's Foreclosure Diversion Program within 20 days of receiving the court papers. If mediation is scheduled, no final judgment can issue until the mediator's report is done.
If the court rules for the lender, the redemption period is usually 90 days from the judgment. During that period, you can pay what the court says is owed; a sale that closes in time can do that. When the redemption period ends, your right to pay off the loan ends. The lender then advertises a public sale, held 30 to 45 days after the first advertisement.
If the court has entered a foreclosure judgment, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before the redemption period ends.
A city tax or tax-lien notice is a separate matter with its own deadlines. Do not use mortgage-foreclosure dates to work out a city tax deadline; check the notice and ask the office named on it.
Before you set a date
For an inherited house, the deed and estate papers help identify who can sign; a family relationship alone does not settle that question. For a rental, tell us who occupies the property and share the lease or notices you have. For a court deadline, use the actual papers and date. We can review the house and provide written terms, while the title company and your own legal or tax professional address their parts of the transaction.
Records and next steps

Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers, 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both have no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.
The deed and estate paperwork determine who has authority to sell. Do not assume that being a relative or heir alone gives you signing authority. Ask the title company what records it needs and speak with a Maine estate attorney about your situation.
Yes. Tell us who lives there and share the lease or occupancy details you have. We include those facts in the property review; a sale does not itself end tenant rights or court deadlines, so ask a Maine attorney about any rights or dates that apply.
Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value or fraction of $500 and divides that tax evenly between seller and buyer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Often, yes, but the redemption period—not the later public sale—is the key deadline. It is usually 90 days from the foreclosure judgment. If the court has entered a foreclosure judgment, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before the redemption period ends.
