Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
What you keep depends on the written price, mortgage payoff, liens, and other property-specific amounts due at closing. Compare that number with the costs and work of listing, then choose the route that fits your house and timing.
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.

Fremont seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Fremont house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what you know about the property.
How soon can I get an offer, and when could closing happen?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Closing is a separate question: the title company reviews title, payoff, liens, signing authority, and the transaction details before closing. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
How do I compare the offer with what I would keep?
The offer price is not always the amount you keep. Compare it with the payoff and other property-specific amounts due at closing, then weigh that against the costs and work of listing. The calculator lets you change the assumptions for your comparison.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee when a house sells?
Ohio law places a conveyance fee on the seller: $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it.
Do I need every paper before I call?
No. You can call with the address, what you know about the condition and occupancy, and the question or timing you are dealing with. Before closing, the title company needs to confirm who can sign and what payoffs, liens, or estate requirements apply to the property.

Can I sell a Fremont house while a tenant is living there?
A tenant-occupied house can be reviewed, but the lease, access, notices, and possession still matter. Selling the property is not the same as ending a tenancy. Tell us what the lease says and what access or timing questions are involved.
What if the house has a mortgage, back taxes, or a lien?
You can ask about a sale before you know the final payoff. The title company confirms the property-specific balances and what must be handled at closing, so do not treat the offer price as your net proceeds.
What if I have a foreclosure notice or deadline?
Share the notice and the date on it when you ask about the house. A buyer conversation or unsigned agreement does not pause a lender, court, or sale deadline; use the actual notice and contact the lender or qualified help about the deadline.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
You do not need every paper or answer before you call. Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, or timing. Ask about what is unclear; the title company can confirm what the property needs before closing.
Call 888-274-5006 with your question.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
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.”
