Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Your net proceeds depend on the written price and the costs and obligations attached to your house. Use your own assumptions for repairs, selling costs, carrying time, payoff, liens, and taxes when you compare selling paths.
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.

Kendallville seller questions, answered
What will I keep if I sell my Kendallville house for cash?
There is no one number for every house. Compare the written price with what you would keep after the costs and obligations that apply to your property, such as repairs, selling costs, time carrying the house, a mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes. The calculator lets you change the assumptions and compare possible net proceeds.

Do I need to repair, clean, or empty the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between 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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
What property-transfer filing fee or closing costs should I expect in Indiana?
A sale needs a state property-transfer form filed with the county auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Does your closing-cost promise cover my mortgage, liens, or back taxes?
No. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs; the title company and closing professionals confirm the property-specific amounts and settlement treatment.
Can I sell my house before an Indiana sheriff’s sale?
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 start a conversation before I have every estate paper?
Yes. You can call before every estate document is gathered. Tell us what you know about the property and where things stand; the person signing and that person’s authority must be confirmed for the specific estate before closing.
Can you review a Kendallville house with a tenant?
Yes. We can review tenant-occupied properties. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. A sale discussion does not replace the lease, court, or title process that applies to the property.
What should I have ready for the first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. A deed, payoff statement, tax or lien notice, estate paper, lease, or sheriff notice may help answer the next question, but you can call before you have everything gathered.
