Compare your options
You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell it to us. Get the offer and written terms before deciding, then compare them with your payoff, other property obligations, and the amount you would keep.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Ask for a property-specific estimate of likely sale price, preparation, repairs, showings, buyer requests, commissions or fees, and the bills you would carry while waiting. A house ready to show and a seller able to wait may fit a listing; compare the likely net, not only the asking price.
Our two direct options have different timing, price, and buyer arrangements. Compare the written numbers and terms before you choose.
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.

Evansville property context
Evansville city limits, Vanderburgh County, and the wider Evansville area are different geographies. Confirm the actual municipality and county for the parcel before using City permit, rental, or property-maintenance information. Nearby incorporated places are not Evansville neighborhoods.
Evansville's National Register directory lists districts in areas including downtown, Bayard Park, Culver, Hebron Meadows, Independence, Lincolnshire, Riverside, and Washington Avenue. The City separately names Riverside, Lincolnshire, and Bellemeade-Bayard Park as local historic review areas. A National Register listing alone does not establish City-local review for a particular address. Check the City map and district guidance for the parcel and the work you are considering.
City National Register districts · City-local historic areas · District guidelines
The City Building Commission lists permitting and inspection services. Its property-maintenance enforcement covers existing structures, weeds, and trash or debris. The City also provides a Rental Registry route. These resources help you ask about the actual address; they do not establish a sale-triggered inspection or the status of a particular home.
Paperwork and timing
Gather the deed, will, court appointment papers, and any estate or payoff information. The Indiana Judicial Branch links Vanderburgh County local rules, which identify the Probate Division of Vanderburgh Superior Court; the County also lists Superior Court and Clerk of the Courts contact routes. These are places to check local procedure, not a conclusion about venue or who can sign for a particular house. Ask your attorney and the title company to review the actual records.

Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff's sale, an owner can redeem the property 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 thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so check the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date promptly.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. The agreement does not change the court deadline.

For a rental, bring the lease, deposit records, access arrangements, who occupies the home, and the possession plan into the comparison. The City Building Commission provides a Rental Registry and residential rental-registration route. Ask the City which current requirements apply to the property; the registry page does not establish compliance for a particular address.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. Before you commit, compare the written offer and terms with the payoff and other property-specific obligations.

Where to find local help
These offices provide records or local process information. Confirm the parcel and ask for the current instructions that apply to your situation.
Ask about local review areas, district guidelines, and whether planned work at the address has a City review route.
Use the City's permitting, inspection, and property-maintenance information for an Evansville address; ask about the actual notice or permit.
The Recorder provides recording and public-record services. Ask the office about current instructions for the instrument involved.
Use the County's tax-sale information for current notices and dates; the page does not resolve a particular parcel's status or eligibility.
The Land Bank describes a local role involving certain dilapidated residential structures. Its information does not establish whether a particular home is eligible or has a Land Bank status.

Compare the lease, access, occupancy, and possession plan with your sale options.

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and the facts you know about the house, and we'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Compare the written price and terms with the actual costs and work of your listing plan: preparation, repairs, showings, buyer requests, commissions or fees, and the bills you would carry while waiting. The net-proceeds calculator lets you change the assumptions and compare what you might keep, not just the asking price.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances.

Do not assume family relationship alone answers who can sign. Gather the deed, will, and any court appointment papers, then ask the title company and your attorney to review the property and estate documents. Vanderburgh County court links identify local probate resources but do not decide who may sign for a particular house.
Check the actual payoff and sale date promptly. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
We can review a tenant-occupied house as it sits. Put the lease, access, who occupies the property, and the possession plan beside the written terms. Evansville has a Rental Registry resource; ask the City which current requirements apply to the actual address.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from that promise.
The City distinguishes National Register districts from its local historic review areas. Check the actual address and planned work with the City Historic Preservation office; a National Register listing by itself does not establish City-local review for a particular property.
