Skip repairs, contractors, and showings
A regular listing can mean arranging estimates, coordinating contractors, preparing the house, and finding times for people to walk through it. A direct sale lets you discuss one written price without first organizing that work or public showings.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Who can sign depends on the house and the papers
The recorded deed shows whose names are on the property records, but it may not answer every signing question. Wisconsin marital-property and homestead rules can matter, as can a divorce agreement or a court order about the house. Wisconsin law also gives a divorce court authority to divide property; an order can affect whether or how a house is sold.
The title company reviews the deed and the documents that apply to this property to confirm the signatures and closing paperwork needed. A Wisconsin family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or order means for your situation. You can start a conversation with us while those questions are being reviewed.
Read the state’s marital-property statutes, homestead-signature rule, and divorce property-division law.

What happens next
1. Tell us about the house
Share the Whitewater address, the condition, who has access, and what is making a regular sale difficult. If you know whose names are on the deed or have a court order about the property, mention it. Start with what you know.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the offer and responsibilities before you decide whether to proceed.
3. Let the title company check the records
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, required signatures, and documents that affect closing. Your attorney can explain any divorce agreement or court order that addresses the house.
4. Sign separately or from another location
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
5. Review settlement figures and close
The title company provides the figures for you to review. For a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. The fee is 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. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from those company-paid costs and fee. Check the settlement figures and any court instructions with the title company and your attorney.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After the Chrysler supplier closed, I was out of work for fourteen months and never really caught back up. The mortgage servicer filed in Winnebago County and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained where the Illinois judicial timeline was, gave me a written offer in forty-eight hours, and we closed in twelve days before judgment. I came out with $28,000.”
“The sewer line backed up into the basement twice in two years — the city said it was a main line issue they were working on. Second time we had four inches of sewage in the basement and the HVAC system was a complete loss. USA Home Buyers came out two days after I called. Fair number, closed in fourteen days.”
“I'd worked at the Chrysler supplier in Belvidere for nineteen years when the plant shut down. Then a job offer came in from a manufacturer in Indianapolis — good opportunity, but I had four weeks to figure out the house. USA Home Buyers gave me a real number the next day. We closed in ten days. I made the Indianapolis start date with a week to spare.”
