From the first conversation to settlement
The Oshkosh sale, step by step
Step 1: Talk through the property as it is
We ask about the house, its condition, access, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. You can start with the information you have; you do not need every property question settled first. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 2: Get and read the written offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 3: Check title, signing authority, and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, who needs to sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money against the property. If an estate is involved, bring the papers you have so the documents and signing requirements can be reviewed.
Step 4: Review the settlement sheet and close
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. 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.

Winnebago County records
Start with the county record you need
The Winnebago County Register of Deeds is the county repository for recorded real-estate documents. Start there for a recorded deed or another recorded document, then bring the record to the title company. The title company checks what the sale requires, including ownership, signing authority, payoffs, and liens.

Before settlement
Review the settlement figures and Wisconsin transfer fee
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.
On a Wisconsin sale that is not exempt, the state real estate transfer fee is 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. It is collected when the deed is recorded, and some transfers are exempt. Ask the title company to confirm the fee or any exemption for your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
The Wisconsin real estate transfer fee is separate from mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
When things get difficult
We keep working toward the closing table
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.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers in Oshkosh, WI have said about working with us.
“Pierce Manufacturing transferred me to their Bradenton, Florida facility. I had eight weeks to get to Florida. My house on the Westside needed a few updates but I wasn't going to spend the summer on that. USA Home Buyers gave me a number in twenty-four hours. I said yes and closed in eleven days. I made it to Bradenton two weeks early.”
“After the plant I worked at outside Oshkosh restructured and cut my position, I was behind on payments within three months. The lender filed in Winnebago County Circuit Court. By that point I had a judgment date looming. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in twenty-four hours and we closed in thirteen days. The judgment was dismissed.”
“The Winnebago County divorce required the house sold before settlement could be finalized. We'd lived in Menominee Park for sixteen years — good memories, but we needed to move on. One written offer from USA Home Buyers, both signed it in the same afternoon, closed in fourteen days.”
