We Buy Houses in Hobart, Indiana
Sell your house fast in Hobart for a fair cash offer. No showings. No fees. No repairs. Any condition.
Homes Bought Since 2011
Hobart is the Brickie city: a town that spent a century making the bricks that built the Region, and it shows in the sturdy old neighborhoods around Lake George and downtown. Plenty of those houses have been in the same family for generations, and when it comes time to sell one, the traditional route does not always fit. We buy houses in Hobart, Indiana for cash, in any condition, and we have been doing it since 2011. If you need to sell my house fast in Hobart, Preferred Home Buyer can hand you a fair cash offer within days. We are BBB A+ accredited and based just west of you in Merrillville.
Call (219) 348-8098 or fill out our short offer form. Free, private, no obligation.
A Brick Town With Every Kind of House
Hobart’s housing tells the town’s whole story. Close to downtown and Lake George you will find the old stock: century-old brick homes and lakeside cottages from the days when the brickyards were running, full of character and, often, full of century-old plumbing, wiring, and foundations to match. Ring outward and the story changes decade by decade: post-war ranches, 1970s and 80s subdivisions, and newer construction pushing south toward US 30 and the Southlake Mall corridor, which sits right at Hobart’s doorstep where US 30 meets I-65. Go southeast toward Ainsworth and the lots get bigger, the pace gets slower, and some properties come with acreage, outbuildings, and wells.
We buy all of it. The lake cottage that needs everything, the ranch that has not been updated since it was built, and the Ainsworth property that is more project than house. Condition changes our number, never our answer.
We Make Selling Your House on Your Timeline Easy
How it Works
1. Call us to get your fair cash offer
Give us a call or fill out the form and tell us a little about the house and your situation. There is no cost or obligation. The conversation takes a few minutes.
2. Choose your Close Date
We will meet you at your address for a quick walkthrough and choose the date that is best for you to close. If the house is vacant or you live out of state, we can often work around that too. No cleaning, no staging, no repairs first.
3. Close quickly and walk away with cash
We can close as quickly as 3-5 business days* and you can walk away with cash in hand, hassle-free. If the offer does not work for you, that is okay. You will still walk away knowing what a cash buyer would pay, which is useful information either way.

Why Sell My House Fast in Hobart to a Local Buyer
- We price Hobart like locals, not like a spreadsheet. A cottage a block off Lake George, a ranch near Hobart High, and an Ainsworth property on acreage are three different markets, and our offers come from real neighborhood comps for each.
- Old houses do not scare us; they are our specialty. Hobart’s brick-era homes are beautiful and expensive to modernize. Knob-and-tube wiring, stone foundations, and slate roofs are all things we have bought before and renovated ourselves.
- Certainty instead of contingencies. Financed buyers need appraisals and inspections to cooperate. Cash needs neither, which is why our closings happen on the date we write down.
- A neighbor, verifiably. Preferred Home Buyer, 8021 Cleveland Pl, Merrillville, IN 46410, ten minutes down US 30. Buying since 2011, BBB A+ accredited.

Hobart Situations We Help With
- Inherited and estate homes. Hobart has deep family roots, and many of the houses we buy here come through estates. We buy inherited houses at any stage of probate, contents and all, and probate for Lake County runs ten minutes away in Crown Point.
- Foreclosure. If you are behind on payments, selling for cash before the sheriff’s sale can protect your equity and your credit. Our foreclosure page explains the Indiana timeline and your options.
- Houses that need everything. Century-old wiring, wet basements, roofs past their prime: we buy houses as-is and take on the work ourselves.
- Tired landlords. Own a rental in Hobart that has become a part-time job? We buy tenant-occupied properties with the lease in place.
- Downsizing, divorce, and sudden moves. A guaranteed closing date makes a hard season simpler.

Hobart Seller FAQ
How fast can you close on my Hobart house?
As little as 3-5 business days* after you accept our offer, through a local title company. If you need longer to make arrangements, you pick the date and it holds.
My house near downtown is over 100 years old and needs major work. Do you actually want it?
Yes, sincerely. Hobart’s brick-era homes are exactly the kind of project we take on. Original wiring, plaster repairs, foundation work: we price it honestly and buy the house as it sits.
Do you buy houses on Lake George?
Yes. Lakefront and near-lake properties, in any condition, including older cottages that need full renovations. Waterfront comps are their own market, and we price them that way.
We inherited my parents' house in Hobart and the family is spread across three states. Can you work with that?
All the time. Out-of-state heirs are routine: walkthrough access gets arranged locally, documents get signed remotely, and the title company wires everyone’s proceeds. Probate runs through Crown Point, and we coordinate with your attorney.
My Ainsworth property has acreage and outbuildings. Is that a problem?
No, we buy rural and semi-rural properties too, including homes with barns, wells, and septic systems. Extra land is part of the value, not an obstacle.
Will you buy my Hobart rental with tenants still in it?
Yes. The lease, the deposits, and the tenant relationship transfer to us at closing. You do not need to wait out the lease or evict anyone to sell.
What does the process cost me?
Nothing. No commissions, no fees, free walkthrough, free cash offer, and we pay typical closing costs. If you decline the offer, you owe us nothing.
Is Preferred Home Buyer legitimate?
Fair question. We are BBB A+ accredited, we have been buying houses in Northwest Indiana since 2011, and our office is at 8021 Cleveland Pl in Merrillville, ten minutes from Hobart. Look us up before you call; we encourage it.
