Start with what you keep

Compare net proceeds, not just the sale price

Net proceeds are the money left after the costs attached to a sale. Repairs, cleanout, commissions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and closing figures can change the comparison.

Change the assumptions for a possible Wilmington listing or cash sale in the existing calculator. Then compare those estimates with the written numbers 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.

Wilmington seller questions, answered

Can I sell a Wilmington house as-is?

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 Wilmington, OH and Clinton County. Tell us what you know about the condition, access, and occupancy so we can review the house as it sits.

How soon will I get a written cash offer?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Share the property address and the details you know about its condition, access, and occupancy.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

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.

What do I keep after selling costs?

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs, not just the sale price. Compare the written price with costs that may apply to your situation, such as repairs, cleanout, commissions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and closing figures. Use the calculator to change the assumptions for a possible listing and cash sale, then compare them with the written terms for your house.

What is Ohio’s conveyance fee?

Ohio calls the charge a conveyance fee. The state fee is $1 per $1,000 of sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. Confirm the amount that applies to the property. When you sell to us, we pay it.

Can I see the offer and terms before deciding?

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, and timing in the written terms before you decide.

Can I ask about an inherited house before all the estate papers are ready?

Yes. You can start with what you know about the Wilmington house. Before closing, the person signing and that person’s authority to sell need to be confirmed from the estate and title records. The inherited-property and probate pages cover those questions in more detail.

Can you review a tenant-occupied house?

Yes, we can review a tenant-occupied property. Tell us about the lease, access, rent, occupancy, and any written notices. A sale conversation does not change a lease or replace the proper tenant or court process; use the tenant-occupied page for more detail.

What if I have a foreclosure or sheriff-sale notice?

Use the current written notice to identify the dates and contact the lender, court, or sheriff promptly about the status. A call or offer request does not stop or postpone a foreclosure or scheduled sale. Share the notice and timing when you ask us to review the property; the foreclosure page has more information.

Can I sell a house with code violations, back taxes, or liens?

We can review the house as-is, but notices, tax balances, liens, title, and signing authority need to be checked for the specific property before closing. The code-violations page covers repair and notice questions. Clinton County’s Treasurer and Recorder are local starting points for tax-account and recorded-document questions.

What should I have ready before I call?

You do not need every paper gathered to ask a question. Start with the address, what you know about the house, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax notice, payoff statement, lien notice, or court paper may help answer the next question.

Local help

Which Clinton County office handles property records?

For a Wilmington property, start with the office that holds the record you need. The County Auditor is a starting point for parcel and property information, the Treasurer for county tax-account questions, and the Recorder for recorded deeds and documents. Confirm the address and current account details with the office.
