Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to the sale. Compare written numbers with repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, holding costs, payoff, liens, and taxes that apply to your house; the amounts depend on the property and sale terms.

We also have two ways to buy. See the Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison below.
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.

How do Cash Offer and EZ Sale differ?
Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, in 30 days or less, at a lower price, with no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, in 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer, still with no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax, and who pays closing costs?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk; the clerk charges a recording fee by the page, not by the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell a Texas house after foreclosure has started?
Often, yes, if a sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In a typical Texas non-judicial foreclosure, the loan servicer must send a written default notice by certified mail for a home used as your residence, giving at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. The notice of sale must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk, and sent by certified mail to each borrower at least 21 days before the sale. The trustee's public auction is usually at the county courthouse on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; it must start no later than three hours after the time stated in the notice. Some foreclosures go through court and follow different steps. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Can I call before I have all the estate paperwork?
Yes. You can start with the property address and the estate papers you have; you do not need to gather everything before asking a question. The person signing and that person’s authority still need to be confirmed before closing.
Can you review a Midland house with tenants living in it?
Yes. A sale does not cancel the lease. Share the lease, deposit records, access limits, and timing so those details can be considered in the sale discussion.
Can I sell a house with an open city code notice?
Yes, you can ask about a sale while a city notice is open. Selling does not automatically end a city order or court case. Share the notice so the title company can check for related bills or liens.
