From the first conversation to settlement
The Fort Wayne sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and when you hope to sell. You can start the conversation with what you know; you do not have to settle every property question first.
Step 2: Talk through the property
We discuss the house as it stands, including repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Review the clear written terms up front: price, possession, timing, responsibilities, conditions, and costs. You decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Let the title company check the closing details
We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, liens, and taxes with the title company. It checks who can sign, gathers payoff figures, and prepares the closing paperwork.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
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. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Your settlement outcome
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Before you sign
Review the settlement sheet and closing costs
We review the payoff, lien, tax, and cost lines with you. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the costs we pay.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
When things get difficult
We stay with the process
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.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

Questions about selling a Fort Wayne house
Can I start talking with you before every property question is settled?
Yes. Start with what you know about the Fort Wayne or Allen County house, including its address, condition, occupancy, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can bring up unresolved estate, payoff, lien, or other property questions as part of the conversation.
What happens before I commit to a sale?
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit. Review the price, timing, possession, responsibilities, conditions, and costs before deciding whether to proceed.
How are the settlement numbers reviewed?
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.
Do I need to pay back taxes or liens before closing?
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
