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.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
A Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, with a term of 30 days or less and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with a term of 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and terms for the actual house before deciding.
Can I see the offer and terms before I decide?
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and property-specific amounts before deciding what to do.
Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes. You can ask about a tenant-occupied house while the tenant is there. Share the lease, access limits, occupancy, and any notices or possession plans. A sale conversation does not decide when a tenant leaves; the lease and the actual situation matter.
Can I call about an inherited house before every paper is ready?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered. Before a sale closes, the person signing needs authority for that property. Keep any deed, probate appointment, court order, or will you have available so the title company or your Ohio estate attorney can confirm what applies.
What if a foreclosure notice or Sheriff-sale date is involved?
You can ask about the property before the date on your notice. Check the current status, date, and payoff with the lender, court, Sheriff, or attorney named in the paperwork. A conversation with a buyer does not change or pause an official deadline.
What if the house has a code notice or serious repair issue?
You can ask about the house as it stands, including a repair or code concern. Share the notice and its due date if you have them, and confirm the current requirements with the office that issued it. A sale conversation does not clear a code issue or extend its deadline.
What if another owner, divorce, or court order may affect who signs?
Bring that question up early. The deed and any current court order can matter to who needs to sign. Keep those papers available and ask the title company or your attorney to confirm who can sign before relying on a sale agreement.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
The property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind are useful starting points. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer a follow-up, but you can call before you have gathered everything.
A useful first conversation
You can call before every paper is gathered
The address, what you know about the house, who lives there, and your timing are useful starting points. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer a follow-up, but you can call before you have everything in one folder.

Where can I ask about a Logan County parcel or deed record?
Logan County's Auditor and Recorder pages are local public-record starting points for parcel and recorded-deed questions. A public record does not settle every question about a particular sale; the title-company process confirms the property-specific title and settlement details.
