Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to selling. The calculator lets you change the assumptions for repairs, selling expenses, carrying costs, and payoff so you can compare possible outcomes for your house.
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 Waynesburg
Can I sell a Waynesburg house without fixing or cleaning it?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. USA Home Buyers buys houses in Waynesburg Borough and across Greene County, Pennsylvania.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer, and when do I commit?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
What do I keep from a cash sale compared with listing?
The sale price is not the amount you take home. Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to the sale, such as repairs, selling expenses, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, and liens. Use the calculator with assumptions that fit your house, then compare the written numbers for the Cash Offer and EZ Sale.
What estate papers help when selling an inherited house in Pennsylvania?
Letters testamentary or letters of administration from the county Register of Wills show who has been appointed as the estate’s personal representative. The will, deed, and any applicable court order also matter when a house is sold. If court authority is needed, the personal representative may ask Pennsylvania’s Orphans’ Court under 20 Pa.C.S. §3353; the court decides. You can call us before you have all the estate papers.
Can I sell while a tenant is still living in the house?
Yes. Pennsylvania allows a house to be sold with a tenant still living there, so a sale by itself may not require the tenant to move out. The lease and the agreed access and possession timing matter for the sale; a sale does not itself authorize a lockout.
What if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
Keep the date on the current notice in view and confirm any change with the office handling the sale. (Pa.R.C.P. 3121.)
Who pays Pennsylvania transfer tax and closing costs?
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty-transfer tax, and many municipalities add a local tax. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement figures.
Can I talk about selling with delinquent taxes or liens?
Yes, you can call before every balance is sorted out. A sale does not automatically erase a tax claim, mortgage, or lien; the actual balances and their treatment have to be confirmed for the closing. Greene County’s Tax Claim Bureau handles delinquent real-estate tax claims.
Where do I ask about a Waynesburg Borough permit or demolition?
Waynesburg Borough’s Zoning / Codes page lists its officer, building-permit route, and demolition requirements and application. It does not determine whether a particular sale needs a permit, inspection, or certificate.

What our sellers say
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
