St. Louis City and St. Louis County are different jurisdictions
St. Louis City is an independent city and county-equivalent, separate from St. Louis County. That distinction can matter when you are figuring out which local records or court information to check. Use the St. Louis seller resources as a starting point for your next question.
Open St. Louis seller resources →Compare selling costs
Compare what you might keep, not just the sale price
Use the calculator to compare your assumptions for a listing with what you might net after costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.
Put the numbers side by side
The calculator is a planning estimate. Change its inputs to fit the costs and sale assumptions you want to compare.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from the Illinois State Library after thirty-one years. We'd talked about moving to Florida for years. The house in North Glenwood was fine — just bigger than we needed. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer. We closed in eight days and were in Sarasota before the weather turned cold.”
“I owned a rental on Maywood Drive for six years. Fine until the tenant stopped paying and started subletting to three other people I had never approved. Code enforcement showed up twice. USA Home Buyers bought it with the tenants still inside. I didn't have to do a single eviction filing. Nine days from first call to closing.”
“I'm a state employee — when my position got transferred to Chicago, I had about six weeks to sort out my house on the south side of Springfield before I needed to be up there. I didn't have time for showings, inspections, or waiting on a buyer's mortgage. USA Home Buyers gave me a written offer within 24 hours and we closed in ten days.”
