The short answer
We review Lexington Park houses as-is. You do not need to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before you ask for an offer. A listing may fit a house that is ready to show and a seller who has time for preparation and buyer visits; a direct sale may be worth comparing when repairs, tenants, estate paperwork, or a move date changes what you can take on.
We give you written offer terms before you commit, and a title company handles closing. Compare the written numbers with the costs and responsibilities that apply to your property, not just the sale price.
Compare the choices
Ask what preparation, photos, showings, inspection responses, commission, and buyer-financing steps could apply to your house. Compare the likely net after the written listing terms, repairs, and the bills you would carry while waiting.
A for-sale-by-owner plan puts marketing, access, offer review, and sale coordination on you. Check what professional help or transaction costs you want, then compare that work and timing with the other choices.
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.

Lexington Park is associated with Naval Air Station Patuxent River. If PCS orders or a defense- or technical-employment move is part of your plans, tell us the date you are working toward so the written terms can be compared with that schedule. That local connection is not a prediction about one house or a buyer timeline.
Local housing descriptions include detached houses, attached townhouses, and mobile homes. A mixed housing stock is one reason to compare the actual property's condition and costs instead of treating a citywide number as a house-specific estimate.

Closing questions
The signer depends on how the property is owned and the estate or court papers. Ask the settlement company to review the deed and relevant documents; an estate attorney can answer questions about a specific case. The St. Mary's County Register of Wills is a local starting point for estate records.
If tenants live in the house, include the lease, deposits, access, and possession plan in the comparison. Put the occupancy details into the written terms and ask the settlement company what documents it needs for this property.
Tenant-occupied property guidance →Often, you can still sell before a mortgage foreclosure sale if the loan can be paid off at closing before the sale. Maryland requires the lender to mail a notice of intent to foreclose at least 45 days before filing, and the lender cannot file until 90 days after the default. An owner-occupant can generally request mediation within 25 days after being served with the lender's final loss mitigation affidavit.
An individual acting for the lender conducts the sale under the authority in the loan documents, with at least 10 days' notice to you. You can catch up the loan until one business day before the sale. The sale is not final until the circuit court ratifies it; you have 30 days after notice of the report of sale to file exceptions—to ask the court to review the sale.
If you live in the house and are at least 60 days behind, you can cancel a contract to sell within five days after signing. A deed or other document affecting title cannot be recorded during those five days. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Maryland's state transfer tax is 0.5% of the sale price—$500 on a $100,000 sale. Each county sets its recordation-tax rate, and many counties charge a county transfer tax, so local amounts depend on the property and current rates. The law presumes an equal buyer-seller split unless the contract says otherwise.
If the buyer is a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live in the home, the state rate drops to 0.25%; the seller pays the state tax plus recordation and local transfer taxes unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt, so ask the settlement company to confirm the current amounts and allocation.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After losing my job at ChristianaCare, I fell three months behind on my mortgage. The lender filed a complaint in NCC Superior Court — I had no idea Delaware foreclosure moved that fast. USA Home Buyers explained the judicial timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case progressed. I walked away with $38,000 instead of nothing.”
“The row home on Lancaster Avenue had foundation cracks that had been moving. We called an engineer and they said the back wall had shifted two inches and needed shoring — $48,000 estimate. No bank would finance a buyer with a structural issue like that. USA Home Buyers came out, made an offer two days later. Closed in thirteen days.”
“Seventy-one years old and my husband is in a nursing facility on Foulk Road. I needed to sell the house to cover his care costs. The whole situation is hard enough without adding a six-month listing process. USA Home Buyers were understanding and quick. Offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eight days.”
