Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to the sale. Compare a written price with repairs, commissions, cleanout, time carrying the house, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and other property-specific amounts. The Auburn calculator lets you compare possible outcomes using your own assumptions.
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.

Auburn seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Auburn house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work; you do not have to start with a repair project.
How are the Cash Offer and EZ Sale different?
A Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, in 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, in 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both have no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.
How soon can I get an offer, and when would closing happen?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. The closing date depends on the property, title and payoff work, and seller readiness. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
What Indiana transfer and closing costs should I know about?
Recording and other closing charges are separate; the closing professional handles the paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What if my Auburn house is in mortgage foreclosure?
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. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so check the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date promptly. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have. 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.
Do I need every document before I call?
No. You can call with the address and what you know about the house, its condition, and your timing; we can talk through which paper may answer the next question. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
