Tell us about the house

1. Tell us about the house

Start with the property details you have

Share the address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing you are considering. If there is an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax balance, or deadline, mention it. You do not need every answer before the first conversation.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

Start with the address, condition, and what you already know.

2. The sale, step by step

From the property conversation to settlement

Step 1: Start with what you know about the house
Tell us the Grand Forks address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. Mention an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax balance, or deadline if one is part of the situation. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your options
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We ask about the house, its condition, access, occupancy, and timing, then talk through the available sale choices.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms before deciding
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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, signing authority, and payoffs
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. Share any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have, even if some questions are still open.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows the sale price and how the 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 choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing 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 local details

Grand Forks city and county, and North Dakota deed requirements

The Grand Forks city boundary is within Grand Forks County. The city and county named here refer to those jurisdictions, not a postal area or nearby places in another state.

North Dakota has no state, county, or city mortgage, sales, or transfer tax on a real property transfer. A deed still needs a statement of the full price paid or an allowed exemption. The buyer or buyer’s agent certifies it on the deed, and the county recorder cannot record the deed without it. That is a deed-recording requirement, not a transfer tax.

5. Closing numbers

Review the settlement sheet and what is scheduled for you

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.

6. 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.
