Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and property-specific balances. Compare the written numbers with a realistic listing path that accounts for repairs, cleaning, selling costs, payoff, and the time you carry the house.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise. Change the calculator assumptions to fit the house rather than relying on a headline price.

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.

Compare what remains after sale costs and property-specific balances, not only the sale price. Repairs, cleaning, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and the time you carry the house can change the comparison. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise.

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. 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.

Can I ask about an inherited house before I have every estate paper?
Yes. You can call while you are still gathering information. The person signing and that person’s authority must be clear before closing, and the title company reviews the property and paperwork.
