Money and choices

Compare what you keep, not just the sale price

The sale price is not the amount you take home. Your net depends on the written price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, repair and cleanout costs, and the costs of the selling path you choose.

Two ways to buy

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.

Useful questions

Indianapolis seller questions, answered

Can I sell my Indianapolis house as-is?

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses in Indianapolis and Marion County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How soon can I get an offer, and how soon can a sale close?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The Cash Offer program term is 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. A particular property's closing date depends on its title, payoff, liens, signing authority, and closing requirements.

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. Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. EZ Sale — goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

What costs come out of the money I keep?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Those balances and the written sale price affect your net proceeds.

Can I sell if my Indianapolis house is in mortgage foreclosure?

You may still have time before the sheriff's sale, but check the actual sale date and payoff promptly. 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. 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 estate paper before I ask about an inherited house?

No. You can call before every estate paper is gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about the house, and who is handling the estate. The person authorized to sign and the documents required for closing still need to be confirmed.

Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?

Yes. An occupied house can be discussed as-is. Share what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, and timing so those details can be considered with the property.

Can I ask about a house with a code notice or serious repairs?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share any open code or repair notice you have so it can be part of the property review.

Where can I check a recorded Marion County deed or mortgage?

For a recorded deed or mortgage record, start with the Marion County Recorder. A recorded document is different from a current payoff amount; the lender and closing title company confirm payoff figures for a sale.

What should I have ready for a first conversation?

You can call before you have everything figured out. Start with the property address, what needs work, whether anyone lives there, and the timing or notice you are dealing with. A deed, payoff, lease, estate paper, or court notice can help answer the next question, but a perfect folder is not required to ask.
