The short answer

Compare written terms with the work and costs of listing

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. We can talk through the home's condition, who lives there, and the timing that matters, then compare a direct sale with listing.

Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing can reach retail buyers and may fit when the house is ready to show and you have time for preparation and negotiation. Compare the likely proceeds after repairs, commissions, closing costs, payoff, and the time you carry the house—not just the asking price.

A direct as-is sale

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Two ways we buy

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. Yes, partner visits.

Wisconsin closing questions

Who can sign, what happens to a lease, and what does closing involve?

Who can sign for an inherited house?

In Wisconsin, a personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property without a separate court order. A restriction in the will or a specific gift of the house to a beneficiary can change who joins the sale. A valid transfer-on-death designation may pass the house outside probate. We can review the deed and estate papers with the title company. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Sources: Wis. Stat. § 860.01 · § 860.11 · § 705.15.

Selling a rental with tenants in it

An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and tenants do not have to move just because the house sells. 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, occupancy, access, and possession with you.

Sources: Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 704 · Wisconsin DATCP Landlord–Tenant Guide, March 2026.

Mortgage foreclosure and a sheriff's sale

Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff's auction until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement.

Sources: Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 846 · Security State Bank v. Sechen, 2005 WI App 253, paragraphs 8–11.

Review the settlement sheet before closing

We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

What is Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee?

On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. It's collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
