Share the address and what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Step 1: Start with the property and what you know
Tell us the 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.
Step 2: Talk through the house and your choices
We ask about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing, then talk through the choices for this house. 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.
Step 3: Read the offer and terms before you decide
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, costs, timing, and any property-specific terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: The title company checks ownership and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A mortgage payoff is the amount needed to satisfy the loan; a lien is a claim for money against the property. Bring the statements and notices you have so the title company can check what applies to this sale.
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. If you proceed, the title company handles closing under the written terms.
3. Two ways to sell to us
Compare the Cash Offer and 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.

4. Useful local details
Check the property's municipality
Snyder County lists Selinsgrove Borough separately from Monroe Township and Shamokin Dam Borough. A Selinsgrove postal address alone does not establish whether a property is in the Borough. Check the exact parcel against the county's municipal-boundary resources and confirm local requirements with the municipality that covers the property. See the Snyder County municipal directory and Snyder County GIS parcel and boundary information.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Pennsylvania transfer tax
Read the settlement sheet for the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other costs, and the amount scheduled for you. 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.
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. Read the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue's realty-transfer-tax guidance.
When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

6. When things get 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.
What our sellers say
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
