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.

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.

Lancaster seller questions, answered

What could I keep if I sell my Lancaster house?

There is no single amount that applies to every house. Compare the written sale price and terms with expected listing proceeds after repairs, commissions, concessions, carrying costs, payoffs, and other obligations. The calculator is for comparing assumptions, not valuing a particular house or making an offer.

How long can a Lancaster cash sale take?

A 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.

Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?

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

Who pays closing costs and Pennsylvania transfer tax?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

How can I evaluate a cash offer?

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Review the terms up front, compare them with your other option, and decide what works for you.

Are there showings if I choose a Cash Offer or EZ Sale?

A Cash Offer includes direct property review; EZ Sale includes partner property review. Yes, partner visits with EZ Sale.

Can I sell a Lancaster house with back taxes or a lien?

Yes. We review title and payoff information for liens and back taxes, then put the sale terms in writing before you decide. Those amounts remain separate from closing costs and transfer tax; what remains depends on the actual payoff.

Can an agreement postpone a Lancaster County sheriff sale?

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. The date on your notice still matters.

What happens after I submit the Lancaster seller form?

We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and timing based on the property details you share. You can ask questions and review the written terms before deciding.

Start with a question

You can call before you have every detail or document figured out. Start with the address and the question on your mind; we can talk through the situation you know so far.
