Use your own assumptions in the calculator, then compare them with the written numbers for the actual house. For the two buying programs, 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.

Celina seller questions, answered
How much will I keep if I sell my Celina house for cash?
There is no one take-home number for every house. Compare the written price with the costs that apply to your sale, such as a loan payoff, repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, carrying costs, taxes, and other property obligations. The sale price alone does not tell you what will remain.
Can I sell my Celina house as-is?
Yes. 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?
A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers: 30 days or less, a lower price, and no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners: 60 days or less, a higher price than the Cash Offer, and still no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works for you.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Can I read the terms before I decide?
Yes. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and property-specific costs in the written terms before deciding.
How soon could a Celina sale close?
The written-offer timing and the closing schedule are separate. The Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different timing terms; the title company also needs to review the property records, payoffs, and paperwork for the actual sale. Read the terms for the option you are considering before you commit.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee when a house sells?
Ohio’s conveyance fee is charged when a house sells, and by law the seller pays it: $1 per $1,000 of the price under state law, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I ask about an inherited house before I have every paper?
Yes. You can call 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 an Ohio estate attorney can confirm what applies.
What if a foreclosure notice or Sheriff-sale date is involved?
You can ask about the property while you check the notice. Confirm the current payoff and any sale date with the lender, court, Sheriff, or attorney named in your paperwork. A conversation with a buyer does not pause an official deadline.
Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes. Share the lease, access limits, occupancy, and any notices or possession plans. A sale conversation does not set a move-out date; the lease and the actual situation matter.
What if my house has a mortgage, tax balance, or lien?
You can ask about a sale with a mortgage, tax balance, or recorded lien. A conversation does not pay or release a debt by itself. The title company reviews the property records and current payoff information to identify what needs to be addressed for the closing.
What should I have ready for the first conversation?
The property address, what you know about its condition, 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 gathered everything.

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.

Which Mercer County office handles a property-record question?
For a recorded deed or mortgage search, start with the Mercer County Recorder's public-records search. For a Mercer County property-tax account question, contact the County Treasurer. Public records are a starting point; the title company reviews the documents for a specific sale.
