Compare what you may keep after the costs
A listing price and a cash offer are different numbers. Compare the likely net after repairs, cleanout, monthly bills, and closing costs using assumptions you can change for your house.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Seventy-two and seventy-four. We'd been happy in our house near the SC Johnson campus for twenty-eight years. But my wife's mobility isn't what it was and we needed one floor, no stairs. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer and closed in eight days. We're in a ranch in Caledonia now and it's exactly right.”
“Our Southside house had storm drain flooding in the basement two years running — Racine County has been working on the infrastructure but it wasn't fixed yet. The second time, we had mold in the walls and the furnace sat in standing water and died. Repair estimate was $31,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is, knew the local flood situation, no surprises. Closed in seven days.”
“Foreclosure in Racine County moves slow — Wisconsin is judicial, so the bank has to go through Circuit Court. Mine was already 9 months in when I finally called USA Home Buyers. They put a written offer on my West Racine bungalow in 24 hours, closed before the sheriff's sale, and I walked away with enough equity to put a deposit on an apartment in Kenosha.”
