From the property conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Lewiston address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If a payoff, lien, estate detail, or deadline is unclear, tell us what you know so far.
Talk through the property and your options
We talk about the house as it sits, including condition, occupancy, access, and timing. 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.
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 you decide which path works for you.
Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax items, and closing documents. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a claim for money against the property. You can begin before every detail is settled.
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.
Compare the written numbers
Two ways to sell to us: Cash Offer or 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.
Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. 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.

Before the signatures
Understand the Idaho closing figures

When the process gets 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.
