The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to closing
Tell us about the house
Start with the address and what you know. You can begin before every property question is settled; unknown details can be part of the first conversation.
Talk through the property
We discuss condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing, then review the house as it stands. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Compare the written responsibilities, timing, and costs before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoff details
The title company works through ownership, who can sign, payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Estate authority, a court date, or a legal question may also need confirmation from the right professional or official record.
Review the settlement sheet and close
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. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell
Compare the 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.
EZ Sale
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.
Compare the written numbers, timing, responsibilities, possession, and costs. You choose which path works for you.

Freeport and Stephenson County details
Local records can help sort out property questions
If you are looking up a property or tax record while details are still being gathered, these Stephenson County offices and records are useful starting points. The title company checks which property details matter to the closing.
Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and transfer taxes
Review the price, mortgage payoff, lien payments, applicable taxes and costs, and the amount scheduled for you. Ask about any line you do not recognize; the title company confirms the final figures.
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and taxable value can change the amount; the property's actual county and city determine which local taxes apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
This closing-cost promise does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those are separate settlement items.

When things get 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.
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.”
