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 before you decide. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
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 timing
Indiana estate, foreclosure, tenant, and transfer questions
Selling an inherited house
In an unsupervised estate, a court-appointed personal representative — the person named 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 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.
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 stage of the case. 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 and we'll go through the notice, payoff, and sheriff's-sale date 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.
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing.
Indiana property-transfer filing and closing costs
A sale needs a state property-transfer form filed with the County Auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
