FAQ

Questions Columbus sellers ask us.

How fast can homeinvestor.co close on a house in Columbus?
Most cash closings in Columbus, Indiana happen in 12–21 days from the day you accept the offer from your matched buyer. We can move faster on vacant or distressed homes, or slower if you need extra time to relocate.
Do I have to fix anything before selling in Columbus?
No. The cash buyers in our Columbus network purchase houses and land as-is — no repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no inspections you have to pass. Leave behind anything you don't want.
What does it cost to sell to homeinvestor.co in Columbus?
Zero. homeinvestor.co is free for sellers — no agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs charged to you. The number on the offer is the number that hits your bank account at closing.
Will I get more by listing with a Columbus realtor?
Sometimes — gross price is usually higher on the MLS. But after 5–6% commission, repairs, holding costs, and roughly 52 days on market, the net is often close. The owner-financing option from our buyer network can also net more than a discounted cash sale.
Do you buy land and vacant lots in Columbus, Indiana?
Yes. The land buyers in our network purchase vacant lots, acreage, farmland, and rural tracts throughout Indiana — cash or owner-financing, with back taxes covered at closing.
