Tell us about the house1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, the house's condition, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. Share what you know about repairs, access, a payoff, a lien, taxes, or an estate. 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.
Share the address and what you know about the house; open questions can be discussed as you go.
2. The sale, step by step
Talk through the property
We ask about the house as it stands, including its condition, occupancy, access, and your timing. No repairs, cleaning, or cleanout are required to sell to us.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Read the written price, responsibilities, possession, timing, and conditions before you commit; ask questions and compare the terms with another way to sell.
The title company checks the closing file
The title company checks ownership, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any payoff statements, lien notices, or estate papers you have so those details can be reviewed.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lists the sale price and the amounts applied to the transaction, such as mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and other listed costs. It shows the money scheduled to be paid to you. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
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.
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. Norwalk and Huron County property records
Norwalk is in Huron County. If you have a deed, parcel information, tax record, payoff statement, lien notice, or estate paperwork, share what you know; the title company can review ownership, recorded liens, and payoffs as it works through the closing file. Huron County's auditor and recorder sites are starting points for parcel and recorded-document information.
5. Ohio conveyance fee and closing numbers
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. By law, the seller pays it: $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county can add. The applicable local amount appears in the closing figures. When you sell to us, we pay it.
The settlement sheet lists other payoffs, taxes, and transaction charges separately so you can see how the closing numbers are put together.
6. When things get difficult
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 sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
