Start with what you keep

Compare the money left after the sale

A sale price is not the same as the amount you keep. Compare possible sale paths after repairs, selling costs, and property debts, then look at the written numbers for your house.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

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.

Questions about selling a house in Janesville

How do I compare what I would keep from a Janesville sale?

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property debts, not just the sale price. The calculator lets you compare possible listing and as-is sale numbers with editable assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer for a particular house.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

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. Compare the written numbers and choose what works for you.

Do I have to repair, clean, or clear out the house first?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How soon will I get an offer, and how long do the programs take?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Cash Offer is 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

What Wisconsin transfer fee applies to a Janesville home sale?

On a sale that isn’t exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt. It is separate from mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, recording, and other closing charges. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.

What paperwork should I have before I call?

You do not need to gather every document before calling. We can talk through the condition, occupancy, and timing you know. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Can I ask about selling an inherited house before probate is finished?

Yes. We can talk about the property before every estate document is gathered. Before closing, the estate’s signing authority and the property’s title must be confirmed for that estate.

Can I ask about a sale while foreclosure papers are involved?

Yes. A sale may still be possible depending on the case and timing. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. Court and sheriff-sale deadlines still matter.

What if tenants are still living in the property?

Yes. We can discuss a sale with tenants in place. The actual lease and occupancy inform the property-specific sale terms and timing.

Can I ask about selling with an open code notice?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss the notice and timing with you; a sale does not by itself cancel a government notice or deadline.

Start with a question

Local help for Janesville and Rock County questions

Rock County Clerk of Circuit Court

The Rock County Clerk of Circuit Court is a local source for court information. For probate, Wisconsin generally uses the county where the person lived when they died, not simply the county where the house sits. We can discuss the property while the estate’s signing authority is confirmed.
