Money and choices
Compare what you would keep, not just the price
A listing price and a cash offer are different numbers. Compare the likely money left after the work, selling costs, and property balances that apply to your house. Change the assumptions in the Alexandria net-proceeds calculator, then compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms below.

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.

Alexandria seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Alexandria house as-is if it needs work?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.
How soon can I get an offer, and when could closing happen?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Offer timing and closing timing are different: the Cash Offer term is 30 days or less, and EZ Sale is 60 days or less. The written terms and title-company review set the details for a specific house.
Who pays closing costs, and what balances remain separate?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay the mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate in the property's final figures.
Do I need every document before I call?
No. You can call with the question you have, even if you have not gathered every paper. Start with the address, what you know about the condition, who lives there, and your timing. Written offer and written terms come before you commit; closing is through a title company.
Can you review an inherited or tenant-occupied house?
We can review inherited and tenant-occupied houses as-is. Tell us what you know about the estate or occupancy, any lease or paperwork you have, and your timing. The property's authority, title, occupancy, and closing requirements need to be checked before a sale closes.
