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. The Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, with a term of 30 days or less and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with a term of 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers for the actual house before choosing.

Idaho has no state real estate transfer tax, and recording a deed carries a county fee. The current Nez Perce County charge should be confirmed with the County Recorder rather than inferred from another county's fee schedule. Idaho property-tax bills are mailed in November; payment is due December 20, or you can pay half by December 20 and the rest by June 20 of the next year. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Yes. You can call with the papers and details you have; you do not need to have every estate document gathered before asking a question. The Nez Perce County Court Assistance Office is a local self-help and forms-information resource. The actual estate and property records matter to who can sign for a sale, so use the right local office or an attorney for your specific question.

Yes. You can start the conversation while the house is occupied. We can discuss how the tenancy affects the sale and put the terms for your house in writing before you decide.

You can ask about selling before completing repairs. We buy houses as-is, so no repair, cleaning, or cleanout is required to sell to us. Read any notice for its actual requirements and dates. City of Lewiston Code Enforcement handles City-code questions; County Planning and Building Services handles county permit and planning questions. Check which jurisdiction covers the address.

Often, yes, if the sale can close before the trustee's sale. A lender can foreclose under a deed of trust without going to court. The trustee's sale cannot happen until at least 120 days after the notice of sale is mailed. The notice must be published once a week for four weeks, with the last publication at least 30 days before the sale; the trustee must also try to serve an adult occupant and post the notice. You can usually reinstate within 115 days after the notice of default is recorded by paying the overdue amount and allowed costs and fees. Principal that would not be due without the default is excluded, but any amount already due still has to be paid.

If the house is your main home, you have a homeowner's exemption, and the lender is regulated, a loan-change request form comes with the notice of default. If the lender receives it within 30 days, the sale cannot happen until the lender answers. The trustee can postpone the sale if the lender asks, by announcing it at the sale. Each postponement can be no more than 30 days, though it can be repeated. For covered primary-home loans from a regulated lender, the trustee must mail at least 14 days' notice before a postponed sale.

After a trustee's sale, there is no right to buy the house back. If the lender forecloses in court instead, the owner can generally redeem within six months after the sale, or one year if the land is more than 20 acres. A contract to sell during a trustee-sale foreclosure must include an Idaho-required notice; you have five business days to cancel, and no money or interest in the house can change hands until those five days pass. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

No. Clarkston is a separate city in Washington. The City of Lewiston describes the wider Lewiston, ID-WA region as including Nez Perce County in Idaho and Asotin County in Washington; that regional label is not the City of Lewiston boundary. For a city or county question about a property, check the address and its actual jurisdiction.

Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the question or timing on your mind. A deed, lease, tax notice, payoff detail, lien notice, or court paper can help with a follow-up, but you can call before every document is together.
