If you own a house in Washington County that you need to sell fast, you have a straightforward option that doesn’t involve repairs, showings, or agent commissions. I’m Grant Howard with Howard Investments, a local cash buyer here in Southern Indiana, and I buy houses across Washington County exactly as they sit — from Salem to Pekin to the smaller towns in between.
I’m not a national chain or an app that spits out a lowball number sight unseen. I come look at your property in person, make a fair written cash offer with the math laid out, and let you pick the closing date. There’s never any obligation, and I’ll tell you honestly if listing with an agent would put more in your pocket.
Whether the house is inherited, sitting vacant, tied up in a divorce, behind on taxes, or just needs more work than you want to put into it, I can help you move on without the usual headaches. You don’t fix a thing, clean a thing, or pay a dime in commissions.
Situations I Help Washington County Homeowners Get Out Of
Most people who call me aren’t just selling a house — they’re solving a problem. Here are the situations I help with most often:
Inherited and probate homes. You inherited a house in Salem or out in the county and don’t want to manage repairs, cleanout, or a long listing from a distance. I can buy directly from the estate, often before probate fully closes.
Tired landlords. A rental in Pekin or Campbellsburg with tenants who stopped paying and a property wearing down faster than the rent came in. I buy with tenants in place — no eviction on you.
Foreclosure and past-due taxes. If you’re behind on the mortgage or property taxes, I can close before the sale date and help you protect your credit.
Homes that need more work than they’re worth. Foundation, roof, septic, well, or wiring — I buy in any condition and handle the repairs myself after closing.
Divorce, relocation, or downsizing. A fast, private, clean sale so everyone can move forward without the house hanging over it.
Vacant and manufactured homes. A vacant house is a monthly drain, and I also buy manufactured and mobile homes on land — the kind most lenders and buyers won’t touch.
How the Cash Sale Process Works in Washington County
It’s simple, and it moves at your pace:
1. You tell me about the house. A quick call or form — where it is, rough condition, and your situation. About five minutes.
2. I walk the property. Since I’m local to Southern Indiana, I can usually get out to Salem or anywhere in the county within a day or two. No cleaning or prep needed.
3. I make a written cash offer. A fair, no-obligation number based on real local comps and condition, with the math explained. No black box.
4. You pick the closing date. Need to close in a week? Need a month to move? It’s your call.
5. I close at a local title company and cover the closing costs. You sign, hand over the keys, and walk away with your money.
Towns & Areas I Buy In Across Washington County
I buy houses throughout Washington County — Salem, Pekin (New Pekin), Campbellsburg, Hardinsburg, Fredericksburg, Saltillo, Livonia, Little York, and the rural areas and unincorporated communities in between like Martinsburg and Canton. If your property is anywhere in the county, I’m familiar with the area and can usually get you a number the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy Washington County houses that need major repairs?
Yes. Foundation problems, roof damage, septic or well issues, outdated wiring, mold, hoarding situations — I buy homes in whatever condition they’re in and handle the repairs after closing. You fix nothing.
How fast can you close?
As little as 7 days if you need it, or a later date if you need more time to move. Because I’m local, I can usually view the property and get you an offer within a day or two of your call.
Do I have to clean the house out?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest — I’ll handle whatever’s left behind. Sell it exactly as it sits.
Will you buy my manufactured or mobile home?
Yes, I buy manufactured and mobile homes on owned land. Most buyers and lenders steer clear of these, so I’m often the most realistic option for a fast, fair sale.
