Selling To Dan Buys Houses vs. Listing With A Local Indiana Agent
Even in a seller’s market like Indiana, it’s crucial to explore all your alternatives to determine the best strategy for achieving your goals when selling your property. While partnering with a Portage agent may promise a higher listing price, it doesn’t guarantee a more profitable outcome or a smoother transaction process. Delve into the specifics below to evaluate your choices.
Benefits of selling to Dan
When selling your property to an investor like me, you can skip the hassle of dealing with mortgages and waiting for bank approvals. I always pay cash, enabling me to close the deal much faster than traditional buyers. Typically, the closing process takes less than 30 days, and in many instances, it can be completed within just a couple of weeks. While this may mean accepting a slightly lower price, the trade-off for a quick sale can be appealing. Consider your circumstances carefully to determine if this expedited option is the right choice for you.
No Repairs Needed: Unlike a retail buyer who may expect a property to be in pristine, move-in condition, I do not require any repairs to be done on your home. In fact, the more work the property needs, the better. This means you can sell your home as-is without the hassle of making any improvements.
We have been in business for 11 years and have always ensured the smoothest and easiest transaction for our clients.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your Indiana house offers.
Yes, here at Dan Buys Houses we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
Like…
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.

We buy houses in ANY CONDITION in Indiana. There are no commissions or fees and no obligation whatsoever. Start below by giving us a bit of information about your property or call (219) 239-1233...*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at Dan Buys Houses, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
