Iowa’s real estate transfer tax is 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the sale price above the first $500. For example, on a $100,000 sale the taxable amount is $99,500, or 199 units of $500, making the tax $159.20. The county Recorder collects the tax before recording the deed, and the conveying owner—normally the seller—is liable under Iowa law. Some transfers are exempt, so ask the title or closing professional to confirm whether the tax applies and calculate the taxable amount for your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. That does not pay a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; ask the closing professional to show those separately.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from Methodist Medical Center and then his health declined fast. I needed the equity from the house to move both of us into continuing care. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number and closed in eight days. We were both in care within a month.”
“Got a plant manager offer at a Caterpillar supplier in Nashville. I had five weeks. My North Peoria house was in decent shape but I couldn't do showings from Tennessee while I was starting a new job. USA Home Buyers closed ten days after I accepted the offer. I drove to Nashville with one less thing to think about.”
“My father worked at Caterpillar for thirty-one years and owned his East Bluff home outright. When he passed, four of us siblings had to decide what to do with a house that needed a new roof, electrical updates, and had been sitting empty for eight months. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer two days after we called. We closed in sixteen days.”
