When you need to sell your house fast for relocation, a new job’s start date will not wait for a traditional listing to close. When you sell directly to us, you avoid the usual risks: showings after you have moved, a closing date tied to a buyer’s loan, and paying two housing payments at once. We buy houses across Northwest Indiana for cash, in any condition, and close on the date your move actually needs, so the house is handled before the moving truck is loaded, not months after.

We have been buying houses across Lake and Porter counties since 2011, 1,050+ houses and counting, and relocation is one of the most common reasons sellers call us. BBB A+ rated, with a real office at 8021 Cleveland Pl in Merrillville.

Call (219) 348-8098 or fill out our short offer form. Free, private, and it takes minutes.

Why Relocating Sellers Choose a Cash Sale

A new job rarely waits for a house to sell. A traditional listing adds risk right when you need certainty most.

  • A closing date that matches your move, not a buyer’s financing. Once you accept our offer, you pick the date. As little as 3–5 business days* if your start date is close, or scheduled further out if you have more runway.
  • No showings to manage from another state. Once you accept, you are done. No coordinating walkthroughs after you have already relocated.
  • No double mortgage risk. A fast, certain sale means you are not carrying a mortgage payment here while paying rent or a new mortgage where you are headed.
  • Sell it exactly as it sits. No repairs, no staging, no last-minute projects competing with packing boxes for your time.
How it works

How the Sale Works

1

Call us with your move date.

Tell us when you need to be gone and we will tell you honestly whether we can match it. We have closed around tight relocation timelines before.

2

One walkthrough, one written offer.

We look at the house once, show you the math behind the number, and you decide with no pressure.

3

You pick the closing date, we close on it.

Whether that is next week or two months out, the date holds. We pay all closing costs and you walk away with cash.

Why Northwest Indiana Sellers Relocating for Work Call Us

  • We move on your timeline, not the market’s. Cash means no lender approval on our side, which is what makes matching a tight relocation date possible.
  • One point of contact, start to finish. You are not juggling an agent, a buyer’s agent, and a lender while also planning a move.
  • Doing this locally since 2011. Buying since 2011, 1,050+ homes bought, BBB A+ rated, with an office in Merrillville.
  • Honest about your options. If your house is updated and your timeline has real flexibility, we will tell you listing might net more. Our offers earn their keep when speed and certainty matter most.

Call (219) 348-8098 and tell us your move date. We will tell you what is realistic.

Preferred Home Buyer was very easy to work with for selling our house. It was a seamless transaction where they drove the process from start to finish. As a remote seller living in a different state from the property, they helped us to easily sell our property with a majority of the process occurring online.

Working with Preferred Buyers was an excellent experience from start to finish. They made the process of selling my home as-is seamless, straightforward, and stress-free. There was no need to worry about repairs or renovations, and they communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, and I truly appreciated their professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency. I highly recommend Preferred Buyers to anyone looking for an easy and hassle-free way to sell their home.

I work as a real estate agent and my seller and I had the opportunity to work with Preferred Home Buyer. They wanted to buy her listing, but a family member was living in the home that would not move out. We negotiated the transaction where they took this off of my sellers hands and they took care of the whole situation for my seller. My seller and I were so grateful and everything worked out. The person moved out to live with family. I hope to get another opportunity to work with them.

The best decision I made was to choose Preferred Home Buyer. The process was seamless and NO STRESS. Josh and the team handled everything I signed selling papers and went to closing. It was handled perfessionally and with respectful. I would do it again.

As an attorney, I'm careful about who I refer my clients to. One of my clients needed to sell their house fast, and I connected them with Preferred Home Buyer. The team was professional since the beginning and they communicated clearly with both my client and me throughout the whole process, made a fair cash offer, and they closed on the timeline they promised. Finding a home buying company in Northwest Indiana I can confidently put in front of a client isn't easy. I'd refer Preferred Home Buyer again without hesitation.

We buy all of our wholesale deals from Preferred Home ​and we couldn’t be more impressed. They consistently deliver fair cash offers, close quickly, and handle all the heavy lifting (inspections, repairs, red tape) so I don’t have to. Whether you’re selling a property in rough condition or just need to move fast, they make the process smooth, professional, and stress-free.

FAQ

Relocation Sellers Ask Us

How fast can you actually close?

As little as 3–5 business days* after you accept, through a local title company, if your start date requires it. Need more time instead? You choose the date and it holds.

I have already moved out of state. Can we still do this?

Yes. Many of our relocation sellers finish the sale remotely. We handle the walkthrough, offer, and paperwork so you do not need to fly back for closing.

What if my house needs work I do not have time to do before I leave?

Do not do it. We buy houses in any condition, full of belongings or mid-project, and price the work into the offer honestly.

Do I need to be present for the closing?

Not necessarily. Title companies can arrange remote or mail-away closings for sellers who are out of state. We will walk you through what that looks like.

What does this cost me?

Nothing. No commissions, no fees, and we pay all closing costs. The walkthrough and the offer are free whether or not you accept.

My relocation date might still change. Can we talk before it is locked in?

Absolutely. Call us as soon as you know relocation is a possibility. Having a real number in hand early makes every other decision easier, even before your date is firm.

I already have a new home lined up. Can you help me time both closings together?

Yes. Tell us your other closing date when you call, and we will work to line up the sale of this house so the timing works for both moves, rather than leaving you carrying two properties at once.

Is my house too far from your office to qualify?

If it is in Northwest Indiana, we buy there. Call and we will tell you honestly if it is outside our area.
