From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Port Angeles, Washington, and Clallam 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 call or use the form before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We discuss the house as it stands, including repairs, who is living there, access, ownership, and timing. We can talk through a direct sale, listing, repairs, waiting, or another option while there are still details to check.
Step 3: 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 deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. Current statements, notices, or estate papers can help identify what still needs to be checked.
Step 5: 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.
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.

Port Angeles and Clallam County details
Check which office handles the property
Port Angeles is a distinct city in Clallam County. Some city programs apply within city limits, while County Community Development describes long-range planning for unincorporated County areas. A mailing address or metro label does not decide a parcel's jurisdiction. Use the actual property address with the City's planning information and County map services to check the parcel and responsible office.
Closing numbers
Read the settlement figures
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed charges, 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.
Washington calls its transfer tax real estate excise tax (REET). The state tax is graduated by taxable selling price and classification, and local REET may also apply, so the exact amount depends on the property's location and transaction. The settlement agent confirms the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the settlement statement. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
That closing-cost statement does not pay a mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate amounts settled at closing.
