USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Parkersburg and Wood County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
We start with the house and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what you want to happen next. You can bring us the problem without first arranging repairs or a tenant move.
Tell us what is difficult: a lease date, limited access, needed repairs, an occupied house, or uncertainty about a move-out. We can discuss the situation with you and the options for the property as it stands.
We talk through the lease, who occupies the house, access, condition, deposits, and your timing. Bring the information you have; you do not need to make the property vacant before calling.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Share the lease, deposit records, tenant notices, and occupancy details so the closing can account for the handoff. The title company handles the title-company closing.
Check which office has authority for the property address; a Parkersburg mailing address does not by itself establish that the property is inside city limits.
For a rental or code question within Parkersburg city limits, start with the city’s official site to find the current department or contact for that address. Confirm that the property is within the city before relying on city information.
The county clerk is a local starting point for seller and recorded-property records. It does not decide a tenant’s lease rights or security-deposit questions.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or require the tenant to move. When leased property transfers, the buyer steps into the landlord’s position and can enforce the lease; the tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. See West Virginia Code §37-6-1 and §37-6-2.
The sale itself does not set a move-out date. Keep the lease and any tenant notices with the occupancy records, and check what notice or possession steps apply to the actual tenancy before treating the house as vacant.
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit.
When the tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. See West Virginia Code §37-6A-2(e) and §37-6A-1.
Give the buyer the leases, deposit records, and tenant notices so closing can account for each tenant.
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.”
Yes. You can talk with us about selling while tenants are still there. The lease, access, occupancy, and deposit records help shape the handoff; the sale by itself does not require a tenant to move.
No. West Virginia law says the buyer takes the landlord’s position and can enforce the lease, while the tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. A sale does not by itself end the lease.
The sale alone does not give a move-out date or require the tenant to leave. Keep the lease and any notices together, and check what notice or possession steps apply to the actual tenancy before treating the house as vacant.
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit. At the end of the tenancy, the deposit minus allowed deductions is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first.
Start with what you know about the address, lease, occupancy, access, house condition, rent, deposit, notices, and timing. If available, keep the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices together so the closing can account for them.
