Money and choices
Compare what you may keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and property obligations tied to your sale. Repairs, selling costs, holding expenses, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes can change what you keep. Compare the written numbers for each option with your own estimates.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare what each route asks of you and what you would keep after the costs that apply to your house.
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.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
Can I still sell my Indiana house in foreclosure?
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, so get the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date checked promptly. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have.
