What the numbers mean
Compare the house with the sale choices
Repairs and cleanout can add cost to a listing. Tenant occupancy and timing can affect access and the bills you carry while you wait. We review the house as it stands and talk about its condition, repair needs, who lives there, and your timing. Then we can compare an as-is sale with listing or waiting.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Indiana property-transfer filing fee
In Indiana, the property-transfer filing fee is usually $20; some transfers are exempt. The filing goes to the county auditor for property-tax records. Recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
The sale price is the gross amount. What you keep is what remains after costs and payoffs, including your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes. A listing may also involve repairs, cleanout, and selling costs; waiting can mean more bills to carry.
Use the East Chicago calculator to compare a listing with an as-is sale and change the assumptions for your house. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
