Tell us about the houseWe'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the house. Unknown details can be sorted out in the conversation.
1. Tell us about the house
Start with what you know
Share the Bloomington address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. If ownership, an estate, a payoff, a lien, a tax bill, or a move date is still unclear, tell us what you know so we can identify what needs to be checked. You do not have to settle every property question before the first conversation.
2. The sale, step by step
From the property conversation to closing
Talk through the property as it is
We ask practical questions about condition, access, occupancy, repairs, ownership, and timing. You can tell us what is still uncertain. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoffs
If you choose to move ahead, the title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. A lien is a claim for money against the property. The review shows what still needs to be checked for closing.
Close through the title company
If you decide to proceed, the title company coordinates the documents needed for closing after the title and payoff questions have been reviewed.
3. Two ways to sell
Compare the 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.

4. A Bloomington location detail
City limits and Monroe County records
Bloomington's municipal boundary is in Monroe County, but a Bloomington mailing address alone does not establish that a parcel is within city limits. If a city-limit question matters to your situation, check the parcel on the official boundary or parcel map before relying on a city-specific answer.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and costs
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and money scheduled for disbursement. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
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 that closing-cost promise.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
6. When things get difficult
We keep working toward the closing table
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
