Weirton, West Virginia · Brooke County · Hancock County
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. We buy houses in Weirton, WV, as-is, including houses with liens or back taxes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. A Weirton property can be in Brooke or Hancock County, so the parcel's county matters when checking records. You can call before you have every document.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the property or request a cash offer.
Share the property address and whatever you have about the notice, payoff, creditor, or tax account. You can start before you have the full record.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us the address and what you know about the notice, payoff, creditor, or tax account.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lienholder or taxing office confirms the current balance and any instructions needed to pay or release its claim. The title company uses those records to prepare the transaction figures. A lien payoff, back taxes, a mortgage balance, and your share of current property taxes are separate items; the transfer-tax closing-cost wording below does not pay those balances.
If you have them, bring the property address, parcel number, current tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor name, payoff statement, and mortgage information. A tax notice or payoff letter can help identify who to contact for a current balance. You can call before you have everything; we can start with what you know.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Weirton address, what you know about its condition, and which tax bill, lien, or payoff notice is concerning you. You do not have to settle the record questions before calling.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the proposed price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you decide.
If you choose to move forward, the title company reviews the property records and the relevant creditors or taxing offices confirm their current payoff and release instructions. The final figures depend on the records for that property.
Before closing, review the settlement figures showing the sale price, payoff amounts, taxes, and other transaction costs. The title company coordinates the closing documents and funds.
Weirton spans parts of Brooke and Hancock counties. Check which county matches the parcel before requesting county records. For a current property-tax balance or tax-sale status, use the county tax contact named on the bill or notice; for a mortgage-foreclosure notice, contact the lender or trustee identified in that notice. A tax sale and a mortgage foreclosure are separate processes, and one notice does not confirm the status of the other.
Use the official Brooke County Clerk page for the county office serving properties in Weirton's Brooke County portion. Have the property address, parcel number, or any recorded-document reference available when asking about county records.
Use the official Hancock County Clerk page for the county office serving properties in Weirton's Hancock County portion. Have the property address, parcel number, or any recorded-document reference available when asking about county records.
A property-tax notice concerns unpaid real-estate taxes; a mortgage-foreclosure notice concerns a loan secured by the house. Check the current tax bill or notice with the county contact it names, and check a mortgage notice with the lender or trustee named there. The two processes and balances are separate. Do not assume that resolving one notice resolves the other.
West Virginia charges a tax when real-estate title is transferred. The first county excise tax is $1.10 for each $500 or fraction of value, plus an additional county tax of at least 55 cents per $500; a county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. The combined base rate is $1.65 per $500, or $330 on a $100,000 transfer; the combined maximum is $2.75 per $500, or $550 on $100,000. The taxable value can include liens the buyer takes over. The applicable additional county rate depends on the property's county. State law generally places the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
This closing-cost promise is about the named transfer excise taxes. It does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Yes. When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. Call or use the form with the address and whatever notice or payoff information you have; you do not need every record before starting the conversation.
The creditor or taxing office confirms its current amount and payoff or release instructions. The title company reviews the property records and works through the documents needed for closing. The records section below explains which county office to contact for a Weirton property.
Weirton includes property in both Brooke and Hancock counties. Use the county that matches the parcel, then contact that county clerk through the official link in the local offices section for county-record questions.
No. A property-tax notice concerns unpaid property taxes; a mortgage-foreclosure notice concerns a loan secured by the house. Check the current tax bill or tax notice for tax-account status, and use the lender or trustee named in a mortgage notice for that separate process. See the Weirton foreclosure page for mortgage-foreclosure context.
Start with the property address and any parcel number, tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor name, payoff statement, or mortgage information you have. You can call before collecting everything.
We discuss the house and the information you have, then provide written offer terms before you decide. If you move forward, a title company and the relevant creditors or taxing offices confirm the records and payoff details for the transaction before closing.
