From first contact to settlement

The Chambersburg process, step by step

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the house

    Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to start with the address and what is happening. You can call before every property question is settled.

  2. Step 2: Talk through the property and your situation

    We talk through condition, occupancy, access and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority and any notice or deadline that could affect closing.

  3. Step 3: Review the written offer and terms before you decide

    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. The clear written terms are available up front. Review the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs and property-specific conditions before you commit.

  4. Step 4: Review title, payoffs and settlement figures

    The title company checks ownership, signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens and taxes. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

  5. Step 5: Choose, sign and close

    If you proceed, the sale closes through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

The program distinction

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.

Cash Offer terms

Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Direct property review. No listing-agent showings.

EZ Sale terms

EZ Sale — goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Partner property review. Yes, partner visits.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. The written terms identify the selected path before you commit, so you can choose the option that fits your situation.

Ownership, authority and payoffs

We review what affects the sale

The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens and taxes. We review those details with you so the written terms and settlement sheet reflect the questions that affect your sale.

In Pennsylvania, the personal representative—the person appointed to administer the estate—may sell without court approval when the will or applicable law gives that authority. If the will or law does not authorize the sale, the representative may ask the Orphans' Court for permission (20 Pa.C.S. §3353 ↗). We work with the title company to review the appointment papers and confirm what authority is needed for this property. Franklin County Register & Recorder ↗ handles probate.

Local questions that can affect closing

Franklin County notices and Chambersburg properties

Franklin County Tax Claim ↗ handles delinquent real-estate taxes. That process is separate from a mortgage foreclosure or execution sale handled through the court and Franklin County Sheriff ↗. If a tax or sale notice affects the house, we review it with you as part of the title and payoff work.

For a property inside Chambersburg Borough, Borough Land Use & Community Development ↗ handles planning, zoning and property-maintenance codes. A mailing address alone does not establish that a property is inside Borough limits. Tell us about a code or permit notice; we buy as-is and review what it means for the sale.

Closing numbers

Closing costs and Pennsylvania transfer tax

Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. Read Pennsylvania's realty-transfer-tax information ↗. 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 items. The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, taxes, costs and amount scheduled for disbursement; the title company confirms the final figures.

When the process gets difficult

We stay with the process

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Chambersburg process questions

Can I call before every property question is settled?

Yes. Start with the address and what you know about the house. We can talk through condition, occupancy, access, timing, title, payoffs and any notice that may affect the sale.

What do I see before I choose a sale path?

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit. Compare the price, responsibilities, possession, timing and costs for the Cash Offer and EZ Sale before deciding.

Who reviews title, signing authority and payoffs?

We review title, payoff, occupancy and seller authority with the title company. The title company checks ownership, signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens and taxes for closing.

What if the house is part of a Pennsylvania estate?

The personal representative is the person appointed to administer the estate. Whether they can sell without court approval depends on the will and applicable law. If the will or law does not authorize the sale, they may ask the Orphans’ Court for permission (20 Pa.C.S. §3353). We work with the title company to review the appointment papers and confirm what authority is needed for this property.
