Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and payoffs tied to a sale. A listing price and a cash-offer price are not the same as the amount you keep; compare the written terms and costs for your house.
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.
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.
Either way, compare the written numbers and choose what works for you. Use the calculator to adjust the costs and payoffs you want to compare.

Cleveland seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Cleveland house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes a house with repair or cleanout needs; you don't have to take on that work before asking about a sale.
See options for Cleveland houses with code or repair issues →How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the property address and the condition, occupancy, and timing details you know.
See how the Cleveland sale process works →How long does closing take?
The 24-hour statement is about the written offer, not a promised closing date. The Cash Offer program is described as 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. The written terms identify the option and timing for the transaction.
Review the Cleveland process and program choices →What paperwork should I expect before I decide?
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. For Cuyahoga County transfers, the county says a DTE 100 or DTE 100-EX Conveyance Fee Statement is required with every transfer. The title or closing provider can confirm which documents apply to the property.
Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer: Transfer and Recording →Who pays Ohio’s conveyance fee?
Ohio’s conveyance fee is charged when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it. Confirm the amount shown for the specific Cuyahoga County property with the title or closing provider.
Check Cuyahoga County transfer information →Can I call about an inherited Cleveland house before I have every document?
Yes. Start with the address and what you know. Before closing, the estate and title records must establish who can sign and what authority applies to the property.

Yes, we can review a property with tax, lien, payoff, or title questions. The balances and what the closing requires are property-specific, so confirm them through the relevant records and title or closing provider.
See Cleveland property tax and lien questions →What if there is a foreclosure notice or sale date?
You can call with the notice and case details you have. Deadlines, payoff, and sale status depend on the actual case; a call or unsigned agreement does not stop a court or sheriff-sale deadline. Check the notice and contact your lender, attorney, or the court promptly.

Compare the written price with the costs and payoffs attached to each path, rather than looking at the price alone. The calculator is an editable estimate for comparing assumptions; it is not a property-specific offer or settlement statement.

You can call before you have everything figured out
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing you are working with. A deed, notice, lease, or estate paper can help answer the next question, but you can call with the information you have.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
