Avoid repairs, contractors, and public showings
You do not need to hire repair contractors, get the house ready for a listing, or arrange public showings before asking us about a sale. We review the house as it stands; We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
That can take the repair and showing campaign off the list of things you have to coordinate with each other. Tell us about access and the house as it is today.
Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court order
The recorded deed is the starting point for whose names are on title. West Virginia divorce law also covers how marital property is divided: state law says a court divides marital property equally at divorce, except where the statute provides otherwise. That does not answer who must sign for every house or what a particular order requires.
If an agreement or court order addresses the house or sale proceeds, give it to your attorney and the title company. The attorney can explain what it means for your case; the title company can confirm the documents and signatures needed for this closing. You can talk with us about the property while those details are checked.
Bring us the problem before every detail is settled
If you are stuck on repairs, finding contractors, arranging access, or managing showings around separate schedules, tell us what is getting in the way. You can talk through the house before every disagreement is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above and start with what you know.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Compare what may be left after costs
A sale price is not the same as what you keep after a mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, and other costs. Use your own assumptions to compare possible sale paths.
