From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of Jacksonville, North Carolina, and Onslow County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with the address and what you know about the condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the property and your options
We talk about the house as it stands, including repairs, who lives there, access, ownership, and timing. Tell us what is known and what still needs checking. We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Compare the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific terms before you decide whether to proceed.
Let the title company check title and payoffs
If you choose to move forward, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Keep any statements or notices you have available so the property-specific amounts and questions can be checked.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out 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
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.

Jacksonville and Onslow County
Check the property's actual location
The City of Jacksonville's incorporated boundary is in Onslow County, but a Jacksonville mailing address alone does not determine whether a parcel is inside city limits. Check the address with the City's online mapping tool or confirm with the relevant local office before inferring city services, code jurisdiction, or city taxes.
Before settlement
Review the closing numbers
North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances is $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. For a taxable transfer, state law generally assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded with the county Register of Deeds. North Carolina General Statutes § 105-228.30 and Article 8E describe the tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and 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.

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.
