From the first conversation to settlement
Step 1: Start with what you know about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Hillsboro, Texas and Hill County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and timing. You can begin the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We talk about the house as it stands, including repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We can compare a direct sale with listing, repairing, waiting, or another option while questions about the property are being sorted out.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
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. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax items, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. Current statements, notices, or estate papers can help answer questions about this house.
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. 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
3. Two ways to sell
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
Use the office that handles the property question
Hill County's courthouse is in Hillsboro, but Hill County and the City of Hillsboro are separate local units. A mailing address does not establish whether a parcel is inside city limits or which taxing entities apply. Check the property address with the responsible office; the City publishes a city-limits and extraterritorial-jurisdiction map.
Hill County Clerk provides land-record searches and real-property recording information. The Clerk is at 80 North Waco Street, first floor, Hillsboro. The Hill County Tax Office handles county property-tax account and tax-sale information; Hill County Appraisal District handles appraisal and taxing-entity information, separately from tax collection. Confirm current instructions and property records with the office.
If you have a City code notice or a construction-permit question, check with Hillsboro Code Enforcement or Building Inspection using the address and notice. The City's building page describes permit and inspection services; it does not establish an inspection requirement for an ordinary sale.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Texas deed costs
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed still needs to be signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Read each line on the settlement sheet: the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, other listed 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.
For broad market context, Zillow's typical home value is $203,149 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Hillsboro, TX). It is not an appraisal or a price for your particular house or cash offer.
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.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

Hillsboro process questions
Can I start before every question about the Hillsboro house is settled?
Yes. Start with the address and what you know about the house, its condition, who occupies it, access, and timing. You can begin the conversation while other details are still being checked.
What happens after I share the property details?
We talk through the house and your choices. If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. You can read the written terms before deciding.
Which local office handles a deed or a property-tax question?
Hill County Clerk provides land-record searches and real-property recording information. The Hill County Tax Office handles county property-tax account and tax-sale information. Hill County Appraisal District handles appraisal and taxing-entity information; it is separate from the Tax Assessor-Collector. Use the property address to check which local units apply.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed still needs to be signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
