Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
The number that matters is what remains after the costs tied to your sale. Compare the written price with your payoff, liens, repairs, commissions, holding costs, and other property-specific expenses. The calculator lets you change the assumptions for a listing-versus-cash comparison.
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.

Mount Vernon seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Mount Vernon house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
A Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, in 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, in 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works for you.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
How do I compare what I might keep from a sale?
The sale price is not the amount you take home. Compare the expected price with your payoff, liens, repairs, commissions, other sale costs, and the time you carry the house. The calculator is an estimate using the numbers you enter.
What is the Ohio conveyance fee?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells, and by law the seller pays it. The state fee is $1 per $1,000 of the price, and the county can add up to $3 per $1,000. Confirm the exact amount for the property with the title company. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork together?
Yes. Start with the Mount Vernon property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing you have in mind. If the house is inherited, the person signing and that person’s authority must be confirmed before closing; you can ask a question before every estate paper is gathered.
Can you review a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. Tell us who lives there, what you know about the lease, and what access is available. A sale does not by itself end a tenancy, so keep the lease and occupancy details in the discussion.
Start with the question you have
You can call before you have every document in front of you. Share the property address, what is happening, and any timing you are working around. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax notice, or city notice can help answer follow-up questions, but there is no need to wait until everything is gathered to ask.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what you know so far.
Local help with Knox County records
For parcel and property-record questions, start with the Knox County Auditor. For a recorded deed or other recorded document, contact the Knox County Recorder. A title company can explain which records and documents matter for a particular closing.
