Start with the address and your question. Share what you know so far.
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Start with what could remain after the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Then compare the repairs, cleanout, commissions, other sale costs, and time attached to each option. Use your own assumptions rather than comparing headline prices alone.
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.

Warsaw seller questions, answered
How much might I keep if I sell my Warsaw house for cash?
There is no one take-home number for every house. Compare the written price with the costs that apply to your sale, including repairs, cleanout, commissions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The sale price alone does not tell you what will remain.
Can I sell my Warsaw house as-is without repairing or cleaning it?
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Warsaw and Kosciusko County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. The written offer and a property's closing schedule are different steps; read the written terms and follow the title-company process for the sale.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers: 30 days or less, a lower price, and no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners: 60 days or less, a higher price than the Cash Offer, and still no repairs, commissions, or closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works for you.
What Indiana filing fee or closing costs should I expect?
Indiana requires a property-transfer filing 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. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can call while you are still gathering estate papers. The deed, appointment, and other documents can affect who has authority to sign, so the signer and authority need to be clear before closing. The title company or an Indiana estate attorney can review what applies to your property.
Can I sell before an Indiana sheriff’s sale?
You may still have time before the sheriff's sale, but the actual payoff and sale date matter. 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 you review a Warsaw house with tenants or a code notice?
Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied house or a property with a code notice or major repairs. Share the lease, occupancy and access details, any notices or court dates, and the condition of the house. The actual lease, notice, and any court or local requirements still matter to the sale plan.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
You can call before every document is gathered. The property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing are useful starting points. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer a follow-up.
Start with the question you have
You do not need every document or every answer before calling. Tell us the address, what is happening, and any date you are working against. Call 888-274-5006; we can talk through what is known and what may need checking next.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“We had a grease fire in the kitchen that spread to the wall and the cabinet above the range before we got it out. Insurance gave us actual cash value — $19,000 on a kitchen that would cost $35,000 to rebuild. I wasn't going to fight that for six months. USA Home Buyers bought the house as-is in nine days.”
“I worked at the Amazon distribution center in Kenosha and took a medical leave for six months. Fell behind on payments, the bank filed in Kenosha County Circuit Court — Wisconsin judicial foreclosure. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where the timeline was and moved fast. Written offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eleven days. Foreclosure dismissed.”
“We owned our Lakeview property for twenty-six years and the property taxes hit $6,400 this year. Both retired, two incomes gone to one Social Security check. The house had too many stairs for my husband's knees anyway. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair number and closed in seven days. We moved to a one-floor condo in Waukegan.”
