(574) 621-3188

Sell your Northern Indiana house as-is, on your timeline.

I'm Jaymi — my brother Carrington and I run Cross Homes. We buy houses in South Bend, Elkhart, Mishawaka, and Goshen for cash — no repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no fees. Tell me about the house and I'll give you a straight, honest answer.

  • A real person answers — you talk to me, not a call center
  • No obligation — if the numbers don't work for you, no hard feelings
  • Closings handled by a local title company

Three quick details and I'll take it from there. I review every house myself and get back to you with a real answer.

How it works

Three steps, and I handle the paperwork.

No listings, no open houses, no waiting around for a buyer's bank to make up its mind.

1

Tell me about the house

Fill out the form above or call me at (574) 621-3188. A few basics about the place and what's going on — that's all I need to get started.

2

Get a real cash offer

I'll look at the house, run the numbers, and give you a real offer. It's free, and there's no pressure — take your time deciding.

3

Pick your closing date

Close fast if you need to, or take the time you need. We close through a local title company here in Michiana, and you get paid at closing.

The honest comparison

Selling to me isn't always the right move. Here's the tradeoff.

Straight talk: if your house is in good shape, you've got time, and you don't mind the hassle of repairs, showings, and waiting it out, listing with a realtor may put more money in your pocket. What selling direct buys you is speed, certainty, and none of the work.

Selling to Cross Homes

Two local brothers.

  • A real cash offer, fast — no teaser numbers
  • Close fast if you're in a bind — or take your time if you need it
  • No repairs, cleaning, or showings
  • No commissions and no fees — the offer is what you walk away with
  • Leave behind whatever you don't want to move
  • No bank involved — no financing fall-through, no appraisal drama, no deal collapsing right before closing

Listing with an agent

The traditional route.

  • Repairs and updates usually come first, on your dime
  • Showings and open houses on someone else's schedule — and the house has to stay spotless and show-ready the whole time it's listed
  • Commissions and closing costs come out of your sale price
  • Inspections and appraisals can mean more repairs, price cuts, or starting over with a new buyer
  • You're still paying the mortgage, insurance, taxes, and utilities every month it sits
  • The timeline is set by the market — and a deal can still fall through at financing

Who we help

If the house has become a problem, we can probably help.

  • Behind on payments— or facing foreclosure
  • Inherited a house— you don't want, need, or live near
  • Tired of being a landlord— tenants, repairs, and all
  • Needs more work— than you want to put into it
  • Sitting vacant— or damaged, and costing you money
  • Relocating or downsizing— and don't want two houses

About Cross Homes

We're Jaymi and Carrington Cross — brothers who buy houses in Michiana.

Cross Homes isn't a franchise or a call center out of state. It's two brothers. When you call, you talk to one of us directly — we'll look at your house, walk through the numbers with you, and be there at closing. And the houses we buy, we turn back into homes.

This is our home turf — we know these neighborhoods, these streets, and what houses here are really worth. We buy houses all over Northern Indiana. That's the part of this job we like best: a house that's become a burden for one family turns back into a home for another.

If we can't help you, I'll tell you that too — and point you toward whoever can.

Areas we buy in

After rehab: the same house at 3407 with fresh blue-gray siding, a new white front door and porch railings, and a tidy lawn
After

The same house, before and after the work. It's the best part of this job: a house that's become a burden turns back into somebody's home.

Questions

Things people usually ask me.

Do I need to clean or make repairs first?
No. I buy houses as-is — that's the whole point. Don't fix the roof, don't paint, don't rent a dumpster. Take what you want and leave the rest; I'll handle it.
How fast can we close?
If the title is clear, we can close fast. Need more time to line things up? That's fine too — you pick the date and we work around it. Either way, we close locally and handle the paperwork.
What does it cost me?
Nothing out of pocket. There are no commissions and no fees when you sell to me — the offer I make is the amount you walk away with at closing, minus anything you still owe on the house.
What if I'm behind on payments?
Call me sooner rather than later — timing matters here. In many cases I can buy the house before the foreclosure process goes any further, but I can't promise that without knowing where things stand. The conversation is free either way.
Am I obligated if I ask for an offer?
Not at all. The offer is free and there's no pressure attached to it. If the numbers work, great. If they don't, no hard feelings — and I'll tell you honestly if listing sounds like the better route for you.

Ready when you are — even if that's just a conversation.

Tell me about the house, or call and we'll talk it through. You'll get a straight answer either way.
