From the first conversation to settlement
The Hobart sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Hobart address and what you know about the house: its condition, who lives there, and when you hope to sell. You can start before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the house as it stands
We talk about the house, its condition, access, occupancy, 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. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and costs before you decide whether to go ahead. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Step 4: Work through title and payoff details
If you decide to move forward, we work with the title company on ownership, who can sign, mortgage and lien payoffs, taxes, and the papers needed for closing. We can talk through any questions about the house or paperwork with you.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for you. 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.
Step 6: Choose, sign, and close
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.

Lake County closing detail
Indiana property-transfer filing
Indiana requires a property-transfer form for property-tax records. For a Hobart house, the form goes to the Lake County Auditor. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate.
Closing numbers
See how the money breaks down
The settlement sheet lists the sale price, mortgage and lien payoffs, property-tax items, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for you. 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. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
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.
