The short answer

Compare written terms with the work and costs of listing this house

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Start with the house’s condition, who owns and occupies it, its payoff, and the date that matters to you. Then compare what you may keep after costs and obligations that apply to your property.

Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing can reach retail buyers. Compare the work and bills for this house: repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions or other sale costs, and mortgage, utilities, insurance, and taxes while you wait. Look at what you may keep after those amounts, not just the asking price.

A direct as-is sale

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare the written price and terms with your payoff, other property obligations, and the time or work involved in another sale plan.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. We review title, payoff, occupancy and seller authority. The Cash Offer has no listing-agent showings; EZ Sale includes partner visits. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Two ways we buy

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 property context

Fort Wayne areas and housing

Before you agree to a closing plan

Property balances, court dates and occupancy

Closing costs and property balances

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Mortgage foreclosure and a sheriff’s sale

You may still have time before the sheriff's sale. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time. We review title, payoff, occupancy and seller authority to see whether a sale plan can fit the timing; selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have.

Read Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 and the Indiana Court of Appeals opinion in Wells Fargo Bank v. Tippecanoe Associates.

See the Fort Wayne foreclosure page or the longer Indiana seller guide.

If someone rents or lives in the house

A sale does not by itself end a rental agreement. The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance still matter at closing. We can compare the sale options with the current occupancy in view; see the Fort Wayne tenant-occupied property page for more questions to check.

How should I compare listing, Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

Compare the written price and terms with the work, timing, repair and cleanout costs, showings, commissions, and carrying costs that apply to your house.

Who needs to sign when I sell a house?

The deed and any estate, trust, or court papers affect who can sign. We review title and seller authority with the title company. If authority is unclear or disputed, an Indiana attorney can advise on your specific situation.

Can I sell my house before an Indiana sheriff’s sale?

You may still have time before the sheriff's sale. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time. We review title, payoff, occupancy and seller authority to see whether a sale plan can fit the timing; selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have.

What does it mean when you pay closing costs?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Ask the title company to show the amounts tied to your property in the settlement figures.
