Homes Bought Since 2011

If you have been searching sell my house fast in Long Beach, this page is for you. Preferred Home Buyer has been buying across Northwest Indiana since 2011, BBB A+ accredited, with our office in Merrillville, about 45 minutes west.

Selling a Lakefront Resort-Town House

Long Beach’s identity as an old resort community creates a market unlike most of the towns around it.

Older homes, no municipal sewer. Most of Long Beach relies on septic systems, and the town buys its water from neighboring Michigan City. That combination alone disqualifies some financed buyers before they ever see the house.
A part-time population. Long Beach has one of the highest seasonal and rental vacancy rates in LaPorte County, with many homes owned by Chicago-area families who use them only part of the year. That thins the pool of buyers actively shopping at any given moment.
Historic and architect-designed homes carry their own expectations. Long Beach has houses on the National Register of Historic Places, and architect John Lloyd Wright designed many homes here. Character like that draws attention, but it also draws inspectors who flag original systems fast.

A cash sale sidesteps all three: no septic or financing contingency, no waiting for a seasonal buyer to notice the listing, one honest number and a closing date you pick.

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.

Sell My House Fast in Long Beach: Why a Local Buyer Matters

Close enough to be real. Our office is at 8021 Cleveland Pl, Merrillville, IN 46410. Come meet us before you sign anything.
We buy the full range. Year-round homes, seasonal cottages, and historic houses near the dunes, none of it complicates a cash sale, septic system and all.
We know LaPorte County process. Probate and sheriff’s sales for Long Beach properties run through the LaPorte County courts in La Porte and Michigan City, and our closings account for that from day one.
Verifiable, not just persuasive. BBB A+ accredited, buying since 2011. Look us up before you call; we encourage it.

The honest caveat: if your house is updated, close to the water, and you have time to wait for a buyer who wants a Long Beach address specifically, listing it may net you more, and we will tell you so. Our offer earns its keep when an aging septic system, deferred maintenance, or a family estate situation would otherwise cost you months on a seasonal market.

Long Beach Situations We Help With

Foreclosure: LaPorte County sheriff’s sales run through the courts in La Porte and Michigan City. Selling before the sale date usually protects your equity better than the auction will.
Inherited houses: Probate for Long Beach properties runs through La Porte. We buy inherited family cottages at any stage, generations of belongings and all.
Houses that need everything: Original systems, an aging septic field, storm damage from the lake. We buy as-is; you fix nothing.
Tired landlords: We buy rentals with tenants in place, lease and deposits transfer at closing.
Also: divorce, relocation, back taxes, or downsizing.

Not sure your situation fits? Call (219) 348-8098 and just ask.

Long Beach Seller FAQ

How fast can you close on my Long Beach house?

As little as 3-5 business days* after you accept, through a local title company. Need longer? You pick the date and it holds.

What does selling to you cost me?

Nothing. No commissions, no fees, and we pay typical closing costs. The walkthrough and the offer are free either way.

The house is on septic and has no municipal sewer. Is that a problem for you?

No. Septic systems are the norm in Long Beach, and they complicate financed sales far more than cash ones. It is part of one offer, not a separate negotiation.

This is a family cottage that has been passed down for generations. Can you still buy it?

Yes. We regularly buy inherited seasonal homes, and we handle the family history and belongings inside with the same respect we would want for our own.

My house is a rental that sits empty most of the year. Do you buy those?

Yes. Seasonal and vacant properties are common here, and vacancy does not change our willingness to buy, just the details we ask about.

Is Preferred Home Buyer legitimate?

Fair question. BBB A+ accredited, buying houses across Northwest Indiana since 2011, with a real office at 8021 Cleveland Pl in Merrillville. Look us up before you call; we encourage it.

Do I need to clean out the house first?

No, and please do not. Take what you want and leave the rest; the cleanout becomes our job after closing.

Will you show me how you calculated the offer?

Yes. We will walk you through it line by line: recent Long Beach sold prices for comparable properties, minus the realistic cost of the work. If listing would genuinely net you more, we will say so.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
