Compare the choices
Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer, or EZ Sale
A direct as-is sale
We look at the house as it sits and give you written terms to compare before you decide. No agent commissions when you 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.

Paperwork and closing questions
Indiana estate, foreclosure, tenant, and transfer questions
Selling an inherited house
In an unsupervised estate, the court-appointed personal representative — the person appointed to handle the estate — can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will can also give the representative authority to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner dies may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate.
We can review the appointment papers, will, deed, and any court restrictions with you. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25) · Indiana Code § 29-1-15-2 and -3 · Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11
Mortgage foreclosure and sheriff’s sale
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 the actual payoff and sheriff’s-sale date matter.
Call us with the notice and sale date; we’ll go through the timing and payoff with you.

Selling with tenants in place
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.
Selling does not by itself end the rental agreement. The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. We can talk through who lives there and the possession plan.
What we pay at closing
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes affect what you keep.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

Questions New Albany sellers ask
Can I sell my New Albany house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Who can sell an inherited Indiana house?
In an unsupervised estate, a court-appointed personal representative can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will can also give the representative authority to sell; if neither route applies, a court order may be needed. A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner dies may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can I sell before a New Albany sheriff's sale?
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 the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date matter.
Can I sell my house with tenants still living there?
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.
How soon can a New Albany sale close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
