Charleston, Illinois · Coles County
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. We buy houses as-is in Charleston and Coles County, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can call about a lien or tax notice before you have every payoff figure; we can talk through the house and what records you have.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the property.
Share the Charleston address and the notice, payoff, or tax information you have. Start with what you know; you do not have to assemble every record first.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us the property address and what you know about the lien or tax question.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. Current payoff information helps show what is due for the specific property; those payoffs come out of the sale at closing, not from money you pay upfront.
A recent property-tax bill or notice, creditor letter or payoff statement, parcel number, and any court or tax-sale paper can help. The Coles County Treasurer has real-estate tax account information; the Coles County Clerk and Recorder provides official recorded documents. Your lender or other creditor supplies its current payoff information. If you choose to move ahead, the title company checks the property records and coordinates the payoff details needed for closing. You can call before you have all of these records.
If a notice lists a court date or sale date, keep it nearby when you call so we can discuss the timing with you.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Charleston address and what you know about the lien or taxes. You can call before you have every record or payoff amount.
We look at the house as it stands and discuss the written offer and terms with you before you decide. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership and recorded claims and works with the relevant creditor or tax office to confirm current payoff instructions and closing figures.
The title company prepares the final figures and handles the closing. The actual payoffs and your proceeds depend on the current figures for the property.
Check the office and notice that match your question. A mortgage foreclosure and a sale for unpaid property taxes are separate processes, with separate notices and deadlines.
Use the county's official recordings page for recorded property documents such as deeds. A recorded document is not the same as a current payoff statement; ask the creditor for its current balance and instructions.
Start here for Coles County real-estate tax account information. If you have a delinquent-tax or tax-sale notice, follow the notice and confirm the current account and status with the office handling it.
An Illinois mortgage foreclosure is a lender's court case. A sale for unpaid real-estate taxes follows a separate process with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage-foreclosure redemption date to decide a tax-sale deadline. Check the notice and current status with the court or tax office named on it. For the separate mortgage-foreclosure process, see our Charleston foreclosure information.
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The actual local tax and any exemption depend on the property and transaction. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
