Dennis Was Done Maintaining the House, His Indianapolis Home Sold in 30 Days

I can’t physically maintain the house or the yard anymore. The grandkids leave it messy. We were getting an apartment ready at our daughter’s place. I wasn’t going to repaint a house just to please a stranger.

When the Yard Becomes the Real Problem

Dennis and his wife Cynthia owned the only home they’d ever owned, since new, a 1992-built tri-level with a basement, 3 bedrooms, 1 finished bath plus a roughed-in bath, an updated kitchen, serviced mechanicals, a less-than-10-year-old roof, and unique energy-efficient siding. The house had bones. The problem was Dennis’s body. He couldn’t keep maintaining it. He couldn’t keep up with the yard. The grandkids who came over left a mess that wore him out to clean up. Their daughter had room. They wanted to move in with her. A realtor had already walked through and suggested a list price of $170,000. Dennis didn’t want to list. Cynthia was firm, no price reductions after the fact.

A “Low Dollar” Number That Held

Dennis named $140,000 as his net target. The offer respected it.

No Cosmetic Prep

The paint and flooring needs the realtor mentioned never had to be done.

No Bait-and-Switch Price Drops

Cynthia’s concern was honored: the number on the contract stayed the number at close.

Here's What Happened

Real homeowners. Real situations. Real results.

Why a Traditional Listing Wasn't an Option

Listing meant the realtor’s painting and flooring suggestions, then showings, then a financed buyer’s inspection list, possibly with more concessions. Dennis physically couldn’t be the one prepping the house, and Cynthia had explicitly named “price reductions later” as something she wouldn’t accept.

Seller story

Finding a Solution That Worked

Chris offered $140,000 or closest possible, no fees, no closing costs, as-is. The team made clear that whatever was on the agreement was what would close.

Finding a solution

A Smooth Path Forward

The contract came together the same day as the conversation. Both Dennis and Cynthia were involved at every step. No cosmetic prep, no painting, no flooring.

The decision

Moved In With Their Daughter, On Their Schedule

The deal closed inside about 30 days. Dennis and Cynthia moved in with their daughter. The yard became someone else’s problem. The grandkids could come visit without Dennis dreading the cleanup.

The Problem

Dennis physically couldn’t maintain the house or yard anymore, and Cynthia refused to accept a listing that would mean prep work followed by price reductions.

The Solution

A $140,000 as-is offer with no fees and no closing costs, the contract number was the closing number.

The Result

Closed inside about 30 days. Dennis and Cynthia moved in with their daughter and left the yard behind.
