Keyser, WV · Mineral County · When you sell to us
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Keyser, West Virginia and Mineral County, even with tenants still living there. You can sell without first ending the lease.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk about the lease, access, repairs, or timing.
What we do
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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
We talk through the house as it stands, who lives there, the lease and rent, access, repairs, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, unpaid rent, or a difficult conversation with a tenant getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk through the Keyser address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, rent and deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. You can call while the tenants are still there.
2. You review a written cash offer and terms
We discuss the property as it stands and the tenant handoff. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit.

We discuss the lease, occupancy, tenant notices, and deposit records with you as part of the closing. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

West Virginia leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Your tenants keep their lease rights when the house sells. Under W. Va. Code § 37-6-1 and § 37-6-2, the buyer steps into the landlord's position and can enforce the lease. If you need a tenant to leave, the lease and West Virginia's notice and possession process apply.
When a tenancy ends, the landlord at that time must return any security deposit owed, even if the former landlord received it. West Virginia's security-deposit law says the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. We talk through the deposit records with you as part of the sale.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
