From first conversation to settlement
The Weirton sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You do not need every property question settled before the first conversation. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to start.
Talk through the property and choices
We talk about the house as it sits, any repairs, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Share what you know about an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, back taxes, or a notice. It is fine to start the conversation while some details are still being checked.
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.
Let the title company check title and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. If the house is inherited or a notice is involved, the paperwork and current deadlines matter; bring the documents you have so the right questions can be checked.
Review the settlement figures and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We walk through the figures before you sign, and the title company handles 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.

Local details that affect the steps
Weirton properties can be in Brooke or Hancock County
Weirton spans Brooke and Hancock Counties. The property address identifies which county applies, so share the full address even if you are not sure which county it is in. County records and county tax details are not interchangeable; the title company checks the records and figures for the property being sold.
If an estate, lien, mortgage payoff, or tax balance affects the sale, those are separate items for title review. You can begin the conversation while paperwork is being gathered; the title company checks the deed, who can sign, and the payoff or lien information needed for settlement.
Before signing
Review the settlement sheet and West Virginia transfer taxes
A settlement sheet lists the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any 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.
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax of $1.10 per $500 of value, plus an additional county excise tax of 55 cents per $500. A county commission may raise that additional county tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts. At the base rates, the combined tax is $1.65 per $500: $330 on a $100,000 sale. In a county charging the maximum, it is $550 on a $100,000 sale. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law assigns the excise tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The title company confirms the amount that applies to the property and the final settlement figures.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
The closing-cost promise does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate settlement items.
When the process gets 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.

Weirton process questions
Can I start the conversation before every property question is settled?
Yes. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can start before every property question is settled.
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out the house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices differ?
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 — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. 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.
Who checks title, authority to sign, payoffs, and county records?
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the records needed for closing. For a house in Weirton, the property address identifies whether the relevant county is Brooke or Hancock. Estate paperwork or a specific notice may also need review by the appropriate title professional, attorney, court, or agency.
Who confirms the West Virginia transfer excise tax on my settlement sheet?
The title company confirms the figures for the property and shows them on the settlement sheet. West Virginia has a real estate transfer excise tax and an additional county excise tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
