2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Step 1: Tell us about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Vallejo, CA and Solano 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 condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your options
We talk through the house as it stands, including repairs, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. You can ask questions while details are still being checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Let the title company check the records and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, 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; a lien is a recorded claim for money. The title company checks what applies to this property.
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.
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. Vallejo and Solano County details
Confirm the parcel and its closing jurisdiction
Vallejo is in Solano County. A mailing address is not enough to determine a parcel's title, tax district, or signing authority. You can start with the address; the title company or escrow checks the property records and the details that apply to the sale.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and transfer tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other entries, 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.
California's county documentary transfer tax is $0.55 for each $500 or fraction of $500 of taxable value ($1.10 per $1,000). It applies when the taxable amount is over $100, excluding any lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale. The county recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. A city may receive half the county rate as its own share, credited against the county tax; some cities add a larger transfer tax on top. The title company or escrow can confirm the property's tax jurisdiction, taxable amount, and whether a city tax applies.
- California Revenue and Taxation Code §11911 — county documentary transfer tax
- California Revenue and Taxation Code §11912 — responsibility for the tax
- California Revenue and Taxation Code §11931 — city tax credit and allocation
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
