Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and property obligations tied to a sale. Repairs, cleanup, commissions, concessions, mortgage payoff, liens, and the time you carry the house can change what you keep. Use your own figures to compare paths for your Urbana property.

A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. Compare both written numbers and the terms for the actual house before deciding.
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.

Urbana seller questions, answered
What might I keep after selling my Urbana house?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property obligations, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, repairs, commissions, and costs of carrying the house. Compare the likely costs for your own property with the Urbana home-sale net proceeds calculator.
Can I sell my house as-is in Urbana?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its condition. For a serious repair or code notice, see the Urbana code-violations page.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, and timing. Read how the Urbana offer process works.
Can I read the offer terms before I decide?
Yes. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. You can review the Urbana sale process and ask questions before choosing what to do.
What is Ohio's conveyance fee when a house sells?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: the state fee is $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county can add up to $3 per $1,000. The exact total depends on the county fee and transaction. For other sale-cost estimates, use the Urbana net proceeds calculator. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every paper is ready?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered. Tell us what you know about the ownership and who is handling the estate; the right person must be able to sign before a sale can close. Read more about inherited property in Urbana.
Can you review a house with a tenant living there?
Yes. We can review tenant-occupied houses. Tell us what you know about the lease, access, and timing so those details are part of the comparison. See the tenant-occupied property page.
What if I have a lien, payoff question, or deadline notice?
Bring any payoff statement, lien notice, or deadline paper you have. The property-specific balance and closing requirements need to be checked against the records and transaction. Start with the relevant Urbana foreclosure questions if a lender or court deadline is involved.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the address, what you know about the condition, who is living there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, lien notice, or city notice can help answer a specific question, but you can call before you have every document. The Urbana seller guide covers the main choices.
Start with a question
You can call before you have every paper figured out
You do not need perfect paperwork to call. Start with the address, what you know about the house, who lives there, and what is making the sale difficult. We can talk through the question with the information you have.
