From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the address, current condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, tenant, code notice, payoff, lien, or move deadline is part of the situation, tell us what you know. Unknown details can be sorted out as the conversation continues.
2. Talk through the property and the offer
We ask about the house as it sits and the sale choices that fit your situation. 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. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to sign.
3. Let the title company check the details
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Bring the current notices, payoff information, and estate papers that apply to the property so any open questions can be addressed.
4. Review the settlement sheet
A 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.
5. Sign and close
If you decide to proceed, the title company handles the closing documents and confirms the final settlement figures. For a Pennsylvania sale, we can send a notary to you. You can sell from anywhere in the country; you don't have to attend settlement or visit the property.
Two ways to sell to us
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.

Indiana Borough and Indiana County
Check which municipality the property is in
The Borough of Indiana identifies itself as the county seat. Indiana County lists Indiana Borough separately from White Township and Homer City Borough; those are separate municipalities, not Indiana Borough neighborhoods. Confirm the property's municipality when a local rule or office is part of the question.
Before settlement
Understand the settlement figures and transfer tax
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, 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.
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax, and most municipalities add a local tax. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. These payments do not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. The title company confirms the final numbers.
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
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
