Skip the repair and contractor planning
We buy the house as-is, so you can skip arranging contractors, repairs, or cleanup together. After you agree on a price, we handle the rest, so the sale does not become another shared project.
Who can sign for a Pennsylvania home?
If spouses own the house as tenants by the entireties — a form of joint ownership for a married couple — both sign the sale papers while they're married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law (23 Pa.C.S. §3507) generally treats that former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under that chapter provides otherwise.
We work with the title company to review the deed and any divorce decree or court order that affects the sale. A Pennsylvania attorney can explain what an order means for you.
Bring us the problem before it is settled
If repairs, access, timing, or a disagreement is holding things up, call us or use the form. You can start a conversation about the State College house before every detail is agreed; you do not need to resolve the family issue before asking about a sale. Not sure who needs to sign? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
What happens next
- We talk through the property and the practical problem. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear it out to sell to us.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
- If you decide to sell, we review title, payoff, occupancy, and who can sign with the title company, which handles the closing.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Signing from another location
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Centre County property records and Pennsylvania law
For recorded deed information, see the Centre County Recorder of Deeds. We coordinate title review as part of the sale. Pennsylvania's rule for property held by spouses as tenants by the entireties is in 23 Pa.C.S. §3507.
Compare the written terms and estimated proceeds
A sale price is not the same as the amount available after mortgage payoffs, liens, and closing costs. Compare the written terms with the property's actual information and use your own assumptions in the calculator.

What our sellers say
“My divorce was already complicated enough. The last thing I needed was months of showings and price negotiation fights with my ex. We both agreed to a cash sale, and USA Home Buyers made it simple. Offer in 24 hours, closed in 10 days. Proceeds split at closing, done.”
Questions about selling during divorce
Can I ask about a cash offer before the divorce paperwork is finished?
Yes. You can call or use the form before every disagreement is settled or every document is gathered. We can talk about the house while you work through the deed and any divorce agreement or court order.
Do both spouses always have to sign?
It depends on how the deed holds the property and whether a divorce agreement or court order applies. If spouses own it as tenants by the entireties, both sign while they are married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law generally treats that former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under that chapter provides otherwise. A title professional or Pennsylvania attorney can review the documents for this sale.
What happens to the sale proceeds?
The title company prepares the closing documents, and the closing statement shows the sale terms, payoffs, and closing costs. A divorce agreement or court order may address how proceeds are divided; a Pennsylvania attorney can explain how it applies to you.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
