From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Start with the house and the question
A buyer from USA Home Buyers starts by talking with you about the property. Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled; begin with what you know.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it sits, including its condition, occupancy, access, and any timing or ownership questions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through a Cash Offer, EZ Sale, listing, or another path so you can compare your choices.
Step 3: Read the offer and terms before deciding
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 whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for this closing. Keep any statements, notices, or estate papers that apply to the property available so the relevant questions can be answered.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
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.
Step 6: Choose whether to sign and close
You decide whether to proceed after reviewing the written terms. If you do, the title company handles the closing and provides its instructions for signing and payment.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell to us
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.
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.

A local detail that can matter
Check the property's actual location
Skowhegan is a town, not a city, in Somerset County. The town boundary and county boundary are different geographies; this identifies the general area, not a parcel-level answer to an estate or property-office question. Use the property address and actual papers when a local record or notice matters.
Maine closing detail
How Maine's real estate transfer tax is calculated
Maine charges $2.20 for every $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when a deed transfers real estate. By law, the seller and buyer each pay half. Since November 1, 2025, an additional $3.80 per $500 applies to the part of the value above $1,000,000. The county register of deeds calculates and collects the tax from the transfer-tax declaration filed when the deed is recorded.
Some transfers are exempt, but exemptions have conditions; a regular sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. On a $100,000 taxable transfer, the total tax is $440, or $220 for each side.
Closing numbers
See how the sale money breaks down
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.

Maine charges $2.20 for every $500 of value or fraction of $500, and the law splits the tax evenly between seller and buyer. Since November 1, 2025, an additional $3.80 per $500 applies to the portion of value above $1,000,000. Some transfers are exempt, subject to conditions. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
