Money and choices

Compare what you would keep, not only the price

Your net proceeds are what remains after costs and property balances. A listing price and a cash-offer price are not the whole comparison. Use the calculator to change the assumptions for repairs, selling costs, payoff, and timing.

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.

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.

Lansing seller questions, answered

Can I sell my Lansing house as-is?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Lansing and across Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties in Michigan.

Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?

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 is staying in the house so we can review the property as it is.

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 much will I keep after the sale?

The number to compare is what remains after the sale price and the costs tied to your property—not just the headline price. Repairs, commissions, closing costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes can affect the comparison. Use the Lansing calculator with assumptions that fit your house.

Who pays closing costs when I sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

How soon can I get an offer, and when would closing happen?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The actual closing timeline depends on the property's title, payoff, occupancy, signing authority, and closing requirements.

Can I call before I have all the paperwork?

Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing you are working with. If you have a deed, lease, estate paper, tax or lien notice, or court paper, it may help answer the next question, but you can call before collecting everything.

Can you review an inherited house if the estate paperwork is not complete?

Yes, you can start the conversation before every paper is gathered. The person who can sign and the title or estate requirements must be confirmed before closing. Share what you have, and we can review the property while you check the estate questions with the appropriate court, title company, or attorney.

Can I sell a Lansing house while a tenant is still there?

Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied house. Share the lease, occupancy, access limits, notices, and what you understand about possession so those details can be considered with the property and closing terms.

Can you review a house with a city notice or serious repairs?

Yes. You can ask for an as-is review without completing the repair work first. Tell us what the notice says and share a copy if you have one; its dates and requirements still need to be checked for that property.

What if a mortgage foreclosure or sheriff sale is involved?

Use the dates on the actual notice and confirm the deadline with your lender, attorney, or the court. 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 you review a house during a divorce?

Yes. We can review the property and give you written terms to compare. Share any agreement, court order, or timing instructions you have; who can sign and how the sale should proceed need to be confirmed for your situation.

Which local office handles a Lansing-area deed question?

It depends on the county where the property is recorded. The Lansing service area includes Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties, so identify the property county first. For an Eaton County property, the Eaton County Register of Deeds is a local starting point for recorded-deed questions.
