Two ways to buy
Cash Offer or 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.
Compare the written options for the actual house. The Cash Offer is a direct purchase; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners.

Richmond and Wayne County seller questions
Can I sell my Richmond house as-is if it needs repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the condition and access so we can review the house as it sits.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Can I read the price and terms before I decide?
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the written price, responsibilities, and timing before deciding what works for you.
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 do I keep after selling my house?
Your net proceeds depend on the written sale price and what must be paid for your property, including any mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Compare what remains after those amounts and other sale costs—not just the headline price.
When you sell to us, who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What paperwork do I need before I call?
You can call before you have every document gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about the house, who is living there, and any notice or deadline in front of you. The title company handles the closing, and you receive written terms before you commit.
Can I still sell my Indiana house if it is in foreclosure?
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.
