If you've inherited a property or are dealing with a distressed home in Jackson, Jennings, or Decatur County, you don't have to handle it alone — or look far to find a buyer who actually understands the situation. These moments are stressful enough without adding a long, uncertain sale process on top.

TurnKey Home Solutions has spent years buying distressed and inherited properties around Columbus, Indiana, and we're now formally extending that same cash-offer process into Jackson, Jennings, and Decatur counties.

Expanding Beyond Bartholomew County

For a long time, our cash offer program was centered tightly around Columbus and the rest of Bartholomew County. But distressed and inherited properties don't respect county lines, and we've increasingly heard from families in Jackson, Jennings, and Decatur counties facing the exact same situations as sellers closer to home.

Extending our service area into these counties means homeowners there get the same straightforward process, the same local point of contact in Jeff Finke, and the same fair, as-is cash offers that have defined our work in Columbus.

Common Situations We Help With

Inherited homes with unresolved estates are one of the most frequent situations we see — a property left behind by a parent or relative, sometimes with multiple heirs who all need to agree before a sale can move forward. Properties that have sat vacant for months or years, accumulating deferred maintenance, are another.

We also regularly work with homeowners dealing with storm or fire damage, code violations, or houses that simply need more repair work than an owner has the time, money, or desire to take on themselves. None of these situations disqualify a property from a cash offer — if anything, they're exactly the kind of properties we specialize in.

A Simple, Local Process

You won't need to coordinate contractors, clean out the property, or negotiate with multiple heirs entirely on your own. We handle the home exactly as it sits — furniture, debris, deferred repairs and all — so there's no cleanup required before closing.

For inherited properties specifically, we're also experienced in working alongside an estate attorney or personal representative when multiple family members are involved, making sure everyone understands the offer and the process before anything moves forward.

What to Expect From Start to Finish

The process typically starts with a conversation about the property's condition and your situation, followed by a cash offer within 24 hours. From there, we work with you and, if needed, an estate representative or title company to schedule a closing date that fits.

Because we're paying cash and buying as-is, there's no appraisal contingency and no repair negotiation after an inspection to slow things down. Closings can often happen in as little as two to three weeks once an offer is accepted.
