Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after the sale price and the costs tied to your situation. Compare the written terms with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, and any repairs, commissions, concessions, or carrying costs you would take on with another 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 from Warrensburg and Johnson County sellers
What will I keep after selling my Warrensburg house?
The useful number is what remains after the sale price and the costs tied to your situation. Compare the written sale terms with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and any repairs, commissions, concessions, or carrying costs you would take on with another sale path. Those amounts depend on the property, so compare net proceeds rather than the headline price alone.
Do I need to repair or clean out my Warrensburg house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what you know about the property, and we can review it as it sits today.
How do Cash Offer and EZ Sale compare?
With Cash Offer, USA Home Buyers buys directly, in 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, in 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both options require no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and terms for your house before choosing.
How soon will I get a written offer, and when could closing happen?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. That is offer timing, not a property-specific closing date. The Cash Offer terms are 30 days or less; EZ Sale terms are 60 days or less. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit, with a title-company closing. Review the terms for the actual property before deciding.
What closing costs or transfer taxes apply in Missouri?
Missouri’s constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Recording fees are separate: state law sets a $5 fee for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional can confirm the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork figured out?
Yes. You can call before every paper is gathered or every detail is clear. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, loan statement, tax notice, or court notice may help answer the next question, but you do not need a complete file before asking one.
Can I sell a Warrensburg house while a tenant is living there?
You can ask us to review a tenant-occupied house as it stands. Tell us what you know about the lease, who lives there, access, and timing so those details can be considered in the written terms.
Can I sell an inherited house before every estate paper is ready?
You can call while you are still gathering estate papers. Tell us what you know about the property and who is handling the estate. Before a sale closes, the title company will need to confirm the signing authority from the actual estate and property documents; a Missouri estate attorney can advise on your specific situation.
Can I sell my Missouri house if a trustee’s foreclosure sale is coming up?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. When a home loan is secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, the lender can foreclose through a trustee’s sale without a court case. The sale is held in the county where the property is, with at least 20 days’ notice published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record. If the lender or someone acting for it buys at the sale, the owner can redeem within one year. To keep that right, the owner must give written notice of intent to redeem at the sale or within ten days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. If a trustee’s sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Can I sell a house with a mortgage, lien, or code notice?
You can ask us to review the house while a mortgage, lien, or code notice is part of the situation. Share the paperwork you have; the title company can confirm payoff and title items, and the office that issued a code notice can explain what it requires. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, but that does not pay a mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Local help
Which local office should you ask about the address?
Warrensburg city and Johnson County are separate government layers. For a city zoning or development question, start with City Community Development; for county property records, start with the Johnson County Assessor. The City says its online zoning map is not a legal map or survey, and the County describes its GIS map as informational rather than an authoritative ownership or boundary determination. Confirm the actual address and jurisdiction with the relevant office.
