Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the price
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs and balances tied to the house. A listing may involve repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and the time you carry the property. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts to include in the comparison.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Albuquerque seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Albuquerque house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can start with the condition the house is in now.
What would I keep from a cash sale?
There is no one net number for every house. What you keep depends on the written sale price and the costs and balances tied to your property. Compare repairs, selling costs, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes—not just the headline price.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
A Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, in 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, in 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are offered with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Either way, compare the written numbers and pick what works best for you.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The offer is separate from a property-specific closing date; review the written offer and terms before you decide.
What does recording a sale cost in New Mexico?
A New Mexico county clerk generally charges $25 to record a document with up to ten index entries, plus another $25 for each additional block of up to ten entries. That is a recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
Can I sell a house with a mortgage, liens, or back taxes?
Those balances do not disappear because a house is sold. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing, so confirm the actual balances when comparing what you may keep.
Can I sell my house if a New Mexico foreclosure sale is scheduled?
You may still be able to sell before the foreclosure sale if the closing pays the mortgage and resolves the other claims against the house. New Mexico foreclosures go through district court. The sale date matters: a court-ordered sale can change what you own and how much time remains. New Mexico has a separate right to redeem after a judicial sale—a chance to reclaim the property under the post-sale rules—but a mortgage can shorten that period substantially. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. You can call before everything is gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing or question on your mind. A notice, payoff statement, deed, or other property paper may help answer the next question, and the title company handles the closing.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
You do not need every paper or answer before the first conversation. Start with the property address, what you know about the condition and occupancy, or the timing you are working with.
Call 888-274-5006 with a question. If you have a notice, payoff paper, or deed nearby, mention it; you do not have to wait until every paper is together.
Local help
Which Bernalillo County office can help with a property record?
For recorded public documents, the Bernalillo County Clerk public-records search is a starting point. For an assessment record, use the County Assessor's property-record search. If the question is about a court foreclosure case, the Second Judicial District Court is the local court starting point. Confirm the specific record, fee, or case question with the office or a qualified professional.
