-
Step 3
Close on your date
If you accept, you pick the date. The title work usually sets how soon that can be.
Merrillville houses we buy as-is
A lot of Merrillville was built from the 1950s through the 1970s, before and after the town was incorporated in 1971. Brick ranches, bi-levels and split-levels with basements are common. So are the problems that come with 50-year-old houses.
Ranches and bi-levels with basements
Water in the basement, a tired sump pump, an old furnace or a roof near the end of its life. You don't need to fix any of it first.
Houses that sat on the market
If your house has been listed for months and the price keeps coming down, send it to us. If it's still under a listing agreement, we'll make our offer through your agent.
Rentals and inherited houses
Sell a rental with the tenants in place. Leases stay with the house. Tenants' security deposits are transferred to us at closing, and we notify the tenants that we've taken them over. Inherited houses can be sold with the furniture and belongings still inside.
Situations we can help with
Inherited a house in Lake County
We can work with the estate's personal representative and attorney, and wait for the paperwork the court requires before closing.
Moving out of the Region
Taking a job in Chicago, moving closer to family, or leaving the state? Set a closing date that matches your move. Signing by mail with a notary is often possible.
Behind on mortgage payments
If the price covers what you owe, the loan is paid from the sale at closing. We can't stop a foreclosure and don't give legal or credit advice. A HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your options, often for free (call 800-569-4287 or search at hud.gov).
Divorce or separation
One walk-through and one agreed closing date can make it simpler for both owners to sign and move on.
Cash sale or listing with an agent?
Listing is often the right choice for a move-in-ready Merrillville house, and it can bring a higher price. Our offer will usually be below what a fully updated home would sell for. Here is what you get in exchange.
| Item | Cash sale to us | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs and cleaning | None. We buy as-is. | Often expected before photos and showings |
| Showings | One walk-through | As many as buyers request |
| Agent commission | None | Negotiated with your agent, often a percentage of the price |
| Buyer financing | The sale doesn't depend on a buyer's mortgage approval | Most buyers need a loan, which can delay or end a sale |
| Closing date | You choose, once title work is done | Set with the buyer and their lender |
| Sale price | Usually below full retail value | Can be higher, especially for updated homes |

Merrillville home seller questions
My house is close to I-65, a rail line or a busy road. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. Traffic noise, a nearby rail line or a busy road can affect the price, but they don't stop us from looking. We'll tell you how we see it in the written offer.
How long does closing take in Lake County?
It depends mostly on the title search and on clearing any liens, estate paperwork or unpaid taxes. We'll put a target date in your offer, and you can choose a later one. After closing, the deed is recorded with the Lake County Recorder in Crown Point.
What about property taxes?
Indiana property taxes are paid a year behind, in two installments due May 10 and November 10. At closing, the taxes are usually prorated to the closing date as the purchase contract says, and any past-due taxes are paid from the sale.
Can I sell a house with code violations or open permits?
Yes. Tell us what the town has cited or what work was started without a final inspection. The title company will check for recorded liens, and open orders may need to be disclosed and dealt with in the contract. After closing, the repairs are our job.
