Trusted Help for Selling a Home in Any Condition Across St. Joseph County

Whether your home needs repairs, has title complications, or requires a unique timeline, we help South Bend homeowners explore their best selling options with clarity and care.

Who We Help Sell Investment Property

Selling a home doesn’t always happen under ideal circumstances. We work with homeowners navigating a wide range of situations, offering clear guidance and flexible options tailored to what they’re facing. We commonly help homeowners who are:

  • Managing a probate or inherited property

  • Preparing or transitioning into assisted living or long-term care

  • Dealing with a home that needs significant repairs or updates

  • Facing foreclosure or financial pressure

  • Handling a property with title issues or legal complications

  • Managing an estate sale with multiple decision-makers

  • Accidental landlords who no longer want to manage a rental

  • Struggling with problem tenants or vacancy

  • Selling a home as-is without making repairs

  • Needing a fast sale, flexible timeline, or post-closing possession

  • Living out of state and needing local support they can trust

A Clear, Step-by-Step Selling Process

Every situation is different, but our approach is always the same: listen first, explain your options clearly, and guide you through each step with care. This is what working together typically looks like. Throughout the process, our focus is on protecting your interests, communicating clearly, and making sure nothing feels rushed or confusing.

01 Start With a Confidential Discovery Call

We begin with a private conversation to understand your situation, goals, and timeline. This call is about listening, answering questions, and determining whether we’re a good fit to work together. There’s no pressure and no obligation, just clarity.

02 Create a Strategy That Aligns With Your Goals

Next, we help you explore your selling options and put together a plan that fits your needs. That may include listing on the open market, selling off-market, or structuring a flexible timeline. We explain the pros and cons of each path so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

03 Market the Property and Identify the Right Buyer

Once a strategy is in place, we market the property appropriately: on the open market, off-market, or both, depending on what makes the most sense for your situation. We focus on positioning the home honestly and connecting with qualified buyers who understand the property and the terms.

04 Vet the Buyer, Navigate Details, and Coordinate Closing

From there, we handle negotiations, buyer vetting, and coordination with title companies, attorneys, and other parties involved. If title issues or complications arise, we help guide the process toward resolution. Our goal is to keep everything organized so you can reach the closing table with confidence.

Why Sellers Trust St. Joseph Realty Group

At St. Joseph Realty Group, we take a thoughtful, patient approach to every sale. We listen first, explain options clearly, and help sellers move forward at a pace that feels right for their situation. Our role is not to push a single solution, but to provide steady guidance, protect your interests, and help you make informed decisions with confidence.

Access to a Large, Qualified Buyer Network

Instead of relying on a single cash buyer or a narrow offer, we connect sellers with a broad network of over 600 qualified buyers actively looking for properties in South Bend. This competitive access often allows us to create stronger outcomes for sellers, even when a home needs work or can’t be listed traditionally.

Market Insight for Homes That Aren’t Perfect

Not every home fits neatly into a traditional listing strategy. We specialize in evaluating properties with repairs, complications, or unique circumstances and positioning them appropriately within the local market. Our guidance is grounded in real pricing data, an honest assessment of what buyers will value, and neighborhood knowledge so you can make informed decisions.

A Clear, Low-Pressure Selling Experience

Selling a home can feel overwhelming, especially when there are unknowns involved. Our role is to bring structure and clarity to the process. We communicate clearly, explain timelines and options upfront, and stay organized from start to finish so nothing feels rushed, confusing, or out of your control.

What Homeowners Say About Working With St. Joe Realty

See how homeowners found clarity, support, and peace of mind throughout their sale.

Really great experience working with Steve and his team. He not only has vast knowledge of the local market, but also works hard to carefully strategize to meet your specific goals, even if you’re looking long-term. Working with him felt more like a partnership rather than a transactional one-time relationship. Regardless of what your needs are, team Steve provide a one-stop shop of the highest quality.

Art T.

I would like to strongly recommend Steve DiJulius when selling a home. I found Steve to be very professional, attentive, and on top of my particular situation. He presented me with various options, including a Property Report that outlined the home I was selling, its potential value, and comparable properties in the area with their values. I found this very useful in making my decision, and I’m very appreciative that Steve was always there for me during the process.

What to Know When You’re Considering Selling a Home

Helpful answers to common questions about selling a home, timelines, and next steps.

You never have to list your home. If you are looking to sell, listing is only one option. St. Joseph Realty Group has built a robust list of active local and out-of-state buyers. If you want to sell without listing your home, we can help you sell your property off-market.

If your house needs work and you can’t or don’t want to be stuck with a lot of repairs, we can help you navigate selling your property in its current condition without making any repairs, whether you list it on the market or sell to our private list of buyers.

St. Joseph Realty Group has a deep network of experienced title companies and lawyers to help advise and quickly resolve complex title issues.

We have been able to help close properties in as little as 2 weeks or as long as the seller needs. The key is ensuring everyone has a clear understanding of the timelines and whether you need time after the closing and sale of your property to move out. We can help explain and negotiate all of this on your behalf.

There is no upfront cost to explore your options. Any fees are discussed openly and agreed to in writing before your property is listed or sold.

Your meeting and conversations are always protected and kept confidential within the brokerage. We will not share your information without your prior consent to do so.
