The short answer
A direct sale gives you a written cash-offer path without doing repairs or a cleanout first. A listing may bring a higher gross price, but budget for preparation, commissions, showings, inspection requests, buyer financing, carrying costs, and time. Compare the likely amount you keep—not only the first price you see.
Compare the choices
A listing can fit a house that is ready to show and an owner who can handle preparation and waiting. Compare the likely sale price with repair bids, cleanup, photography, showings, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and time to closing.
You can ask us to review the house as it sits, then compare written price and terms before committing. This can be useful when repairs, cleaning, access, occupancy, or a deadline make a listing plan harder to manage.
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.
USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

Local property context
City neighborhood sources describe turn-of-the-century homes in Old Southwest and houses from the 1920s through the 1950s in Grandin Court. That local housing history can help you decide what to inspect or price for a listing; it does not establish the age or condition of your particular house.
The City describes Old Southwest as a historic neighborhood with defined boundaries and a designated historic district, with turn-of-the-century homes. Confirm the parcel and any property-specific requirements before planning work.
The City identifies Grandin Court in southwest Roanoke and describes houses from the 1920s–1950s. Its neighborhood page also notes the boundary with Roanoke County, a reminder to check the actual parcel jurisdiction.
The City hosts a Wasena Neighborhood Plan. Use the plan for area context, not as a substitute for the property's inspection, permit, title, or occupancy records.
This guide covers Roanoke city, Virginia (the City of Roanoke), not Roanoke County. Roanoke County is a separate neighboring locality. For city information, start at the City of Roanoke website and use the property address to check which records and requirements apply.
Before closing
Check the deed and any estate, trust, or court papers to see who may need to sign. Ask the title company what it needs to confirm authority for this property. If you need advice about your legal rights, speak with an attorney who can review your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. Ask the settlement agent to confirm which amounts apply to your transaction and appear on the final settlement sheet.
Often, yes, if your sale closes and pays off the loan before the foreclosure sale. Virginia home foreclosures are usually trustee's sales under a deed of trust: the trustee auctions the house without a court case. For an owner-occupied home, written notice of the sale generally must go to the owner at least 60 days ahead, or 14 days for other property, and the sale must be advertised in a local newspaper. Plan to close and pay off the loan before the trustee's sale; do not count on buying the house back afterward. The trustee can postpone a sale, and a postponed sale must be advertised again. Do not assume the sale date has moved; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current date and payoff amount. Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee'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.
Virginia law: §55.1-320 · §55.1-321 · §55.1-322. Check the notice and sale date with the trustee, title company, or an attorney.
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare the written terms with listing, repairs, and the costs of holding the house.
A 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 for you.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer terms before you commit, and the closing is handled through a title company.
