Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and amounts due. Repairs, cleanout, commissions, holding costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes can change the comparison. Use assumptions that fit your house, then compare the written numbers for the sale paths you are considering.

We have two ways to buy. Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale.
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.

Peru seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Peru house as-is if it needs repairs or cleanout?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with what you know about the condition, access, and timing; you do not have to finish repairs or cleanout before asking about a sale.
How do I compare what I might keep from a sale?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and amounts due, so compare the written numbers with costs that fit your house instead of relying on the headline price alone.
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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Can I read the offer and terms before I decide?
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, and timing in the written terms before you commit.
When I sell to USA Home Buyers, who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell my Indiana house before a sheriff’s sale?
Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff's 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. The actual court papers and sale date still matter.
Does a Peru address tell me which local office handles a property question?
Check the property address against Miami County’s jurisdiction map. The map identifies Peru and separately maps the Bunker Hill and Converse planning jurisdictions, so this page’s City of Peru information is not a countywide description.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
You can call before every paper is gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. The written offer and terms come before you commit, and closing is handled through a title company.

You can call before you have everything figured out

Check which Peru or Miami County jurisdiction applies
