How Selling Your Waynesburg House to Us Works
1. Tell us about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Waynesburg Borough and throughout Greene County, Pennsylvania. 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 the house. You can ask us for a cash offer before every property question is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 if you would rather talk first.
Tell us about the houseWe give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and timing so we can start with the actual property.
2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Talk through the property
We ask about the house as it sits: its condition, who owns or occupies it, access, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know; we can talk while some details are still open.
Review the offer and its terms
We put the offer and its terms in writing for you to review before you make a commitment. If you choose to proceed, the sale closes through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any conditions tied to the property before deciding whether to proceed.
Let the title company check the records
If you decide to move ahead, the title company checks the deed and ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax items, and the documents needed for closing. We work through the sale details with you as those figures and documents are confirmed.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for you. The title company confirms the final numbers before closing.
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.
Swipe across the table to compare all four selling options.

4. Useful local details
Waynesburg Borough and Greene County
Waynesburg Borough is Greene County's county seat. Greene County lists the Borough separately from Franklin Township, Jefferson Borough, and Wayne Township, which are separate municipalities. A Waynesburg mailing address alone does not show which municipality's rules apply to a property. See Greene County's municipality directory.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Pennsylvania transfer tax
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.
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, 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.
