Money and choices
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs tied to your house. Repairs, cleanout, commissions, holding costs, taxes, mortgage payoff, and liens can change the net amount. Use your own estimates to compare the paths instead of relying on a headline price.

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.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share what you know about the address, condition, occupancy, and timing.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Before you commit, we put the offer and terms in writing. If you decide to sell, a title company handles the closing. The 24-hour offer timing is not a promised closing date for a specific property; review the written terms before you commit.
Compare the written sale price with what remains after the obligations tied to the house. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. We can compare the numbers with you before you decide.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay a mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Yes. Start with what you know about the address, condition, who lives there, or your timing. We can talk through your question and which details matter when comparing your options.
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.
For a property inside the City of Decatur, start with City Building & Zoning about permits or Code-compliance inspections. The City says the department issues City building and improvement permits, performs Code-compliance inspections, reviews plans and plats, and conducts site checks. Ask about the specific address and any notice you have; the City’s published information does not establish a property’s permit history or a sale-triggered inspection or certificate.
Start with a question
You do not need to have every document gathered before you ask about the house. Start with the address, the condition and occupancy you know, and the question or timing on your mind. Call 888-274-5006.
