Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Your net proceeds are what remains after the sale price and the costs tied to your sale path. Repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes can change what you keep. Use the Bloomington home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own estimates.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale
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.
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.
Bloomington and McLean County seller questions
Do I need to repair or clean out my Bloomington house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its condition.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you commit, and the closing is handled by a title company.
When you buy my Bloomington house, who pays closing costs and transfer taxes?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I call about an inherited house before I have every estate document?
Yes. You can call before every estate paper is gathered. Before a sale closes, the person signing must have authority, and the title and any estate or court requirements for that property need to be confirmed. Start with the documents and details you have; you do not need to have everything figured out before asking a question.
Can I sell while my Illinois house is in foreclosure?
A sale may still be possible if it can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. The normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction, and the deadline and payoff depend on your court case. Paying missed installments and paying the full foreclosure amount are different options. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure 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. The agreement does not extend a redemption deadline. Contact us promptly with the court papers and sale date so we can see whether a sale can fit the case timeline.
Start with a question
You don't need every paper in hand to call
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. A deed, estate appointment, lease, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer the next question, but you can call before collecting everything.
