2. The sale, step by step

From the property conversation to settlement

Step 1: Talk through the house and what you know
Start with the Fargo address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. Tell us what is known and what is still uncertain.
Step 2: Review the property and your options
We ask about the house, its condition, occupancy, access, and timing. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Step 3: Read the offer and written terms before you decide
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific terms before you choose whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoff details
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money against the property. Share any estate papers, notices, or current statements you have, even if some questions are still open.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. 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. If you decide to proceed, the title company handles the closing steps and confirms the final numbers.

You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

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.

4. Useful North Dakota closing detail

No transfer tax, but the deed still needs a statement

North Dakota does not impose a state, county, or city transfer tax on a home sale. The deed still needs a statement of the full price paid or an allowed exemption. The buyer, or the buyer's agent, certifies that statement; the county recorder cannot record the deed without it. The statement is deed paperwork, not a transfer tax.

5. Closing numbers

Review the settlement sheet and what you keep

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Fargo sale-process questions

Can I start before every property question is settled?

Yes. Start with the Fargo address and what you know about the house, who lives there, access, and timing. You can call 888-274-5006 or use the form while other details are still being sorted out.

What do I receive before deciding whether to proceed?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

What does the title company check?

The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Estate authority, a court matter, or a specific payoff may also need the right professional, court, or lender to confirm it.

Does North Dakota charge a real-estate transfer tax?

No. North Dakota has no state, county, or city transfer tax on a real-estate transfer. The deed still needs a statement of the full price paid or an allowed exemption; the buyer or buyer’s agent certifies it, and the county recorder cannot record the deed without that statement.

Who pays closing costs when I sell to USA Home Buyers?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
