Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property obligations. Compare the written numbers for your house, then use the Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison below to see the program terms alongside other ways to sell.
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.

Useful questions about selling in Lewistown
Can I sell my Lewistown Borough house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before deciding whether to move forward. If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing.
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. 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.
Which sale costs do you pay in Pennsylvania?
When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate.
What if the property has a mortgage, liens, or back taxes?
Those balances are separate from closing costs. We review the actual payoff and property obligations for the house so the written terms reflect the specific numbers; mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are not part of our closing-cost promise.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. You can call with a question and what you know about the house. We can talk through what matters for your situation; you do not need to have the sale or paperwork figured out first.
Can an agreement postpone a Pennsylvania sheriff’s 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 existing sale date and court deadlines still apply.
Start with a question
You do not need every detail figured out before you call
Start with the address, what you know about the condition, and the question or timing on your mind. If there is a notice, estate paper, lease, lien, or payoff statement, it can help answer the next question; you can call before you have everything gathered.
