List the house
A listing puts the house in front of buyers. You can compare offers, and you may also take on repairs, cleaning, showings, and time on the market. It may fit when the house is ready and you have time to wait for a buyer.

Selling choices
Compare a listing with a direct sale
Sell directly to us
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. You can compare our written terms with the work and costs of a listing before you decide.
Two ways to compare
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.
Compare the written numbers with the time and work you want to take on. Use the Valparaiso home-sale net-proceeds calculator to estimate what you might keep.

Indiana paperwork and sale timing
Indiana property-transfer filing
Indiana requires 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. Deed recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
If a sheriff’s sale is scheduled
Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff’s sale, you can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so get the actual payoff and sheriff’s-sale date checked promptly.

You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
