Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
The offer price and your net proceeds are different numbers. What you keep depends on the sale price and property-specific amounts such as mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Those separate balances or tax allocations are separate from the closing costs we pay.
We have a Cash Offer and EZ Sale. The Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations; EZ Sale is often a better fit when the house does not need major repairs and you want a higher number. Compare the written terms and choose what works for you.
Two ways to 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.
Kenosha seller questions, answered
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and 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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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.
Does my Kenosha house need repairs before I sell to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Will you list my house or arrange showings?
For a Cash Offer, USA Home Buyers buys directly, with no listing-agent showings. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. Yes, partner visits.
How do I compare the offer with what I will keep?
The offer price and the amount you keep are different numbers. Your net depends on the sale price and property-specific items such as mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Change the assumptions in the calculator to compare possible net proceeds.
What closing costs do you pay?
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
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 the sale price, or part of $100. The fee is 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.
Can I sell my Wisconsin house if foreclosure has started?
You may still have time if the sale can close and resolve the debt. 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. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with you. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. 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.
Can I ask about an inherited house before all the estate papers are ready?
Yes. You can talk with us before every estate paper is ready. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with you; the personal representative's authority and deed requirements must be confirmed for the actual estate before closing.
Can I sell while a tenant lives in the house?
You can talk with us while a tenant lives there. We review the lease, occupancy, access, and possession expectations with you; they can shape the written terms and closing plan.
What should I check if a house is part of a divorce?
We review the deed and any court order or agreement about the property, then confirm who has authority to sign and whether approval is needed before setting written terms.
