Money and choices

Compare what you keep, not just the sale price

Net proceeds are what remains after the amounts tied to the sale. Compare a written offer with the mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and other property-specific costs, then compare a listing estimate after repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house. Change the calculator assumptions to fit your Monticello property.

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.

Monticello and White County seller questions

What will I keep after selling my house?

Net proceeds are what remains after the sale price and the amounts tied to the property, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and selling costs. A listing can also involve repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house. Compare the written numbers and use your own assumptions in the calculator.

Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out the house first?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its current condition.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

A Cash Offer is bought directly by USA Home Buyers, with a term of 30 days or less and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with a term of 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both have no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.

How quickly can I get a written cash offer?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the Monticello property address and the condition, occupancy, and timing details you know.

Will I see the offer and terms before I decide?

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and property-specific costs before deciding.

Who pays the closing costs when I sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate.

What if a mortgage foreclosure or sheriff’s sale is underway?

Yes, you may still have time before the sheriff's sale, but check the actual payoff and sale date promptly. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage; paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have. 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.

Can I ask about selling a tenant-occupied house?

Yes. We can review tenant-occupied properties. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. Keep Indiana court, lease, and title processes in view.

Can I ask about an inherited house before I have every estate paper?

Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate document is gathered. Before closing, the title company needs to confirm who can sign for the property; the deed and estate or court papers may matter.

Can a house with liens or back taxes still be reviewed?

Yes. You can ask about a house with liens or back taxes. The mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate from closing costs; the actual property and title records determine the amounts to address.

Can you review a house with code notices or serious repairs?

Yes. You can ask about a house with a code notice or serious repair needs. We review the house as-is, but the notice and the issuing office’s requirements still matter for that property.

Start with a question

You can call before you have everything figured out

You do not need every document or a complete plan to ask a question. Start with the address and what you know about the house, who is living there, the paperwork in front of you, or the timing you are working with.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.

Local help

Where can you find recorded White County deed records?

The White County Recorder is a local starting point for recorded deeds and land records. The title company checks the documents that apply to a sale.

For recorded deed and land-record questions, start with the Recorder. A county record is a starting point; have the title company verify what applies to the property.
