You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Marietta and Washington County, Ohio. You can talk with us about a cash sale before every disagreement is settled; the title company reviews the deed and any court papers that apply before closing.

Avoid repairs, contractors, and showings

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

You can sell to us without listing-agent showings. Talk about the house as it stands instead of choosing repairs or coordinating contractors before a direct sale. After you agree on the price, we handle the rest, so those logistics do not have to become another disagreement.

Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers

The deed shows whose names are recorded as owners, while a divorce agreement or court order may affect the sale. Ohio law distinguishes marital property from separate property: the court divides marital property and generally returns separate property to the spouse who owns it. An order about the house can affect what happens next. We can talk through the house while the title company reviews the documents and confirms the signatures needed; an Ohio family-law attorney can explain what a specific order means for you.

Ohio Revised Code § 3105.171: marital and separate property in divorce.

What happens next

If you decide a direct sale may fit, here is how the conversation and closing work.

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    Tell us what is happening with the Marietta house and what is making a sale difficult. We can talk through the condition, access, timing, and practical problem together.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

    You receive the written offer and terms before you decide whether to commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.

    No agent commissions when you sell to us.

  3. 3. Check the documents for this sale

    If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and any court papers that apply, checks payoffs and required signatures, and prepares the closing documents.

  4. 4. Review the closing figures and sign

    You review the settlement figures before closing through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. The Ohio conveyance fee is one cost connected with a property transfer. When you sell to us, we pay it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Signing from another location

You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
