When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or office owed confirms the current payoff amount and instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims, then includes the confirmed payoff figures in the closing paperwork. The closing-cost promise is separate from a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes; those items are not closing costs the company pays.
You can call before you have everything. The property address is enough to start the conversation. If available, keep the latest tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, lender payoff statement, parcel number, and case or account number nearby. The creditor, lender, or office named on the notice confirms its balance and instructions; the title company reviews the property records for the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The title company reviews ownership and recorded claims for the sale. Each creditor, lender, or tax office confirms its own current payoff and release instructions. These are checked against the documents and figures for this property.
Review the settlement figures, including the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, and other amounts. The sale closes through a title company; the closing paperwork shows how the amounts are applied.
A property-tax or tax-foreclosure notice is separate from a lender mortgage-foreclosure case. Keep the notices apart and check the current balance, status, and any dates with the office, court, or servicer named on that notice. Do not use one notice to determine the status of the other matter. For mortgage-foreclosure questions, see the Olean foreclosure page.
These are official county office pages. Use the contact information on the office page or on your notice to ask where a specific county record or parcel question belongs; an office name alone does not confirm a lien balance or payoff.
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the sale price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. That payment does not cover a mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“We'd been in our Wesleyville place for thirty-one years. Raised three kids there. But the property taxes were $4,200 a year and the house had more rooms than we'd ever use again. USA Home Buyers gave us a clean, quick exit. Closed in nine days. We had our equity check before Christmas.”
“Lawrence Park house, divorce, court order to sell. We hadn't spoken in months except through lawyers. USA Home Buyers sent one offer — we both said yes, separately, through our attorneys — and closed in fourteen days. Didn't have to share a room with my ex once.”
“I was behind on my mortgage with a sheriff sale looming. I didn't realize I still had equity or that I had options. USA Home Buyers explained everything clearly, the offer was fair, and we closed in 9 days — the foreclosure was dismissed at closing.”
