Sell directly to USA Home Buyers
Start with the house as it stands. You get written terms before you commit, then compare them with the work, timing, and likely proceeds of listing.
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.

Questions that can change your sale plan
Who can sell an inherited Indiana house?
For an Indiana estate sale, the court-appointed personal representative handles the sale when that person’s authority covers the house. In an unsupervised estate, the representative can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will can also give the representative power to sell; if neither route applies, a court order may be needed. A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. We can go through the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions with you.
If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

If a sheriff’s sale is scheduled
Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. You may still have time to sell before a sheriff’s sale. Before the sale, an owner can redeem by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the case stage; paying only overdue installments is not the same. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so get the actual payoff and sheriff’s-sale date checked promptly.
Call us now — we’ll go through the payoff and sale date with you.

Selling a house with tenants
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. The deposit typically transfers with the house, though that is often negotiated. Ending an ordinary month-to-month tenancy generally takes notice equal to one rental period; the lease and reason for ending it can change what is required.
Tell us about the lease and your possession plans, and we can talk them through with you.
