We buy houses in East Chicago, Indiana for cash, as-is.
Indiana Harbor and Calumet have some of the most affordable ownership in the region, and some of the hardest houses to finance. If your buyer's lender walked away over the roof, the electrical, or the appraisal, we don't have that problem. We pay cash and we don't need an appraisal to close.
- Typical close

Why East Chicago sellers call
If any of this sounds like your situation, we can help
- A conventional or FHA buyer's loan fell through on inspection
- Inherited property you've never lived in and don't want to manage
- Back taxes or a lien you'd rather have paid off at closing
- A rental you've been carrying vacant for months
The houses we buy in East Chicago
Frame and brick workers' cottages from the mill era, small multi-units in Indiana Harbor, and 1920s two-story homes near Block Avenue. Deferred maintenance is the norm here, not the exception.
We do not need the utilities on, we do not need it cleaned, and we do not send an inspector back afterward to renegotiate. The written offer is the number.
Why sellers choose us
A local buyer who shows the math
Local, not a call center
We're based in Gary and we rehab here. The person who walks your house is the person who signs the check.
We show our math
Every offer comes with the comps and the repair estimate behind it. If our numbers are wrong, we want to know.
We buy what others won't
Fire damage, stripped copper, condemned, tax-delinquent, occupied by a non-paying tenant. Bring us the worst one you've got.
No fees, ever
No commissions, no closing costs on your side, no last-minute price reduction after inspection.
Simple process
Four steps, and you pick the closing date
No showings, no repairs, no waiting on a buyer's lender.

Straight answers
Selling a house in East Chicago — common questions
How fast can you close on a house in East Chicago?
Seven to fourteen days once title is clear. We use a local Lake County title company and pay cash, so there is no lender timeline to wait on. If you need a later date, you set it.
Do you buy houses in East Chicago that need major repairs?
Yes. That is most of what we buy. Frame and brick workers' cottages from the mill era, small multi-units in Indiana Harbor, and 1920s two-story homes near Block Avenue. Deferred maintenance is the norm here, not the exception.
Will I pay any fees or commissions selling my East Chicago house to you?
No. No commission, no listing fees, and we cover standard closing costs. Payoffs, back taxes, and liens come out of the sale proceeds at closing.
