From first conversation to settlement

The Summersville sale, step by step

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the house

    Start with the address, current condition, who occupies the house, access, and your timing. If an estate, tenant, code notice, foreclosure notice, payoff, lien, or tax question is involved, tell us what you know. You do not have to settle each issue before you call.

  2. Step 2: Talk through the property and choices

    We talk about the house as it is, including repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. You can compare a direct sale with listing or another path. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

  3. Step 3: Read the written offer and terms

    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.

  4. Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs

    If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and closing file, including who needs to sign, mortgage payoff instructions, liens, and tax items. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money. The creditor or tax office confirms the current amount owed. If the house is part of an estate, see our inherited-property guidance.

  5. 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.

    You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

  6. Step 6: Decide, sign, and close

    You decide whether to proceed, compare another sale path, or stop before signing. If you proceed, sign the final papers through the title company and receive your money through that company’s instructions.

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.

Direct property review.

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.

Partner property review. Yes, partner visits.

Local details

Summersville and Nicholas County records

Summersville is Nicholas County’s county seat, but the city and county are separate local governments. The City maps page ↗ directs map and boundary questions to City Hall. The Nicholas County Assessor ↗ describes its tax maps as approximate. Check with the relevant office about the specific property rather than relying on a mailing address or an approximate map for a parcel-level answer.

Closing numbers

What appears on the settlement sheet

The settlement sheet shows how the sale price is applied to the mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and closing costs that apply to the property, along with 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.

West Virginia charges an excise tax when real-estate title transfers. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax of $0.55 per $500 applies, and a county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and the taxable value includes liens the buyer takes over. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law generally makes the seller pay the excise tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The additional rate depends on the county.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

If something gets difficult

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.

If a lien or recorded property issue is part of the situation, see our property-lien guidance. If a foreclosure notice or sale date is involved, read the Summersville foreclosure guidance and follow the current notice.

Summersville process questions

Can I call before every question about the house is settled?

Yes. Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can begin the conversation while estate, payoff, lien, tax, or title questions are still being sorted out.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

When will I get a written cash offer?

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

Who checks the deed, signing authority, liens, and payoff?

If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and closing file, including who needs to sign, mortgage payoff instructions, liens, and tax items. The creditor or tax office confirms the current amount owed.

Who pays the West Virginia transfer excise taxes when I sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

How do I review the settlement figures?

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.
