Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to the sale. Compare the written price with repairs, commissions, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and the time you carry the house. The amounts depend on the property and the sale path.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Useful questions about selling in Stevens Point
Can I sell a Stevens Point house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share what you know about the condition, access, occupancy, and timing so we can review the actual house.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Call with the Stevens Point address and the property details you know.
What costs do you pay when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate amounts to verify for the property.
What is Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee?
On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100 — $300 on a $100,000 sale. It's collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. The fee is separate from mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.
Can I sell a Wisconsin house while it is in foreclosure?
Possibly, if a sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff’s auction until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes — not just overdue installments. Have the actual judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date checked promptly. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork together?
Yes. Start with the address, what you know about the house, and the question or deadline in front of you. If you have a deed, estate paper, lease, tax notice, payoff, lien notice, or court paper, keep it handy. Before closing, the title company needs to review the title and confirm who can sign.
Can you review a tenant-occupied Stevens Point house?
Yes. Tell us who lives there, what the lease says if you have it, what access is possible, and what timing matters. The lease, access, and possession plan shape the practical sale discussion.
Can I sell a house with a code notice or major repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, including houses with repair needs. Share the notice and any deadline; ask the issuing municipal office what it requires. A sale review does not answer the city’s code question.
Start with a question
You can call before you have every document or decision figured out. Start with the property address and the facts you know; we can talk through what question to check next.
Call 888-274-5006.
Local help with Portage County property records
For a recorded deed, land description, or recorded document, start with the Portage County Register of Deeds. The county property-information page is a separate starting point for parcel information; an assessment or property record is not a payoff statement or a title review.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Pierce Manufacturing transferred me to their Bradenton, Florida facility. I had eight weeks to get to Florida. My house on the Westside needed a few updates but I wasn't going to spend the summer on that. USA Home Buyers gave me a number in twenty-four hours. I said yes and closed in eleven days. I made it to Bradenton two weeks early.”
“After the plant I worked at outside Oshkosh restructured and cut my position, I was behind on payments within three months. The lender filed in Winnebago County Circuit Court. By that point I had a judgment date looming. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in twenty-four hours and we closed in thirteen days. The judgment was dismissed.”
“The Winnebago County divorce required the house sold before settlement could be finalized. We'd lived in Menominee Park for sixteen years — good memories, but we needed to move on. One written offer from USA Home Buyers, both signed it in the same afternoon, closed in fourteen days.”
