Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the price
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs tied to the way you sell. A listing can involve repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items to include in your comparison.
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.

Mankato seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Mankato house as-is?
Yes. 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 the house is like now.
How quickly will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the property address and the condition, occupancy, and timing details you know.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
Cash Offer means USA Home Buyers buys directly; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. The comparison above shows Cash Offer at 30 days or less and a lower price, and EZ Sale at 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Either way, compare the written numbers and pick what works best for you.
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 from closing costs and can affect what you keep.
Can I call before all my paperwork is ready?
Yes. You can call before every document is gathered. Share the address and what you know about the house, who lives there, and your timing. Before you commit, you get a written offer and written terms; closing is through a title company.
