From first conversation to settlement

The Springfield sale, step by step

  1. Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house

    Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax notice, code issue, or other property question is still open, you can start the conversation before every answer is settled.

  2. Step 2: Talk through the property and get written terms

    We discuss the house as it is and ask about details that affect the sale. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, timing, possession, responsibilities, and costs before you decide whether to proceed.

  3. Step 3: Let the title company check the closing details

    If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and who needs to sign, and works through current mortgage payoffs, recorded liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Keep the statements, notices, and estate papers you have available so the right questions can be addressed.

  4. Step 4: Review the settlement sheet and close

    The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, payoffs, taxes, costs, and money 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. 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.

Cash Offer

Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

EZ Sale

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.

Compare the written price, timing, possession, responsibilities, and costs for the option you are considering. You choose whether either set of terms works for you.

A local closing detail

Massachusetts deeds excise in Springfield

Massachusetts calls its transfer tax the deeds excise. Springfield is in Hampden County, where the standard rate applies: for a taxable price over $100, it is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500, or $4.56 per $1,000. The different combined state-and-county rate is for Barnstable County, not this market.

Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 64D, Section 1 ↗ sets the deeds-excise rate and exceptions.

Before the signatures

Review the settlement sheet and what you may keep

The settlement sheet lists the price and the amounts applied to payoffs, liens, taxes, and closing costs, along with the money scheduled for disbursement. We review it with you so you can ask about a line you do not recognize. 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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts.

Compare your own assumptions with the Springfield home-sale net-proceeds calculator. It can help you compare a possible listing net with an as-is cash-sale estimate.

When the process gets difficult

We keep working toward closing

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.
