Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, and what you keep

List with an agent or sell it yourself

A listing can bring your house to more buyers. It can also mean preparation, photos, buyer visits, inspection requests, commissions, and carrying costs while you wait for an offer and closing. Selling it yourself puts the calls, paperwork, and coordination on you.

Ask about a direct sale

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Compare the written numbers with the work and timing you want to take on.

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

Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

Direct property review.

EZ Sale

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.

Partner property review. Yes, partner visits.

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Closing questions

Estates, tenants, sheriff's sales, and Pennsylvania transfer tax

Selling an inherited house

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened; you do not need to put the house in your own name first.

In most Pennsylvania estates, the executor can sell the house without going to court. If the will leaves the house to one specific person, that person signs too. See 20 Pa.C.S. §3351. If the executor is not authorized to sell under Pennsylvania law or the will, they can ask the Franklin County Orphans' Court for permission under 20 Pa.C.S. §3353. The court decides whether the sale helps administer and distribute the estate. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. Not sure? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.

Selling with tenants in place

You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

We can talk through the lease, access, deposits, and the occupants' plans as we compare your options.

Transfer tax and closing costs

Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. Read the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue's transfer-tax information. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

What our sellers say

“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
Sandra M.Inherited Property — Estate Sale
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
James R.Behind on Payments — Pre-Foreclosure
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
Carol T.Rental Property — Problem Tenant
