Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you close?
Seven days is our fastest; two weeks is typical. But there's no pressure to rush — if you need a month or two to get your next place sorted, we'll build the timeline around you.
I owe more than the house is worth. Can you help?
Possibly, through a short sale with your lender's approval. It's slower and not always viable, but we'll assess it honestly instead of stringing you along.
There are liens on the property. Is that a problem?
Not usually — they get paid off from the sale proceeds at closing. We'll itemize every payoff so you see exactly where the money goes before you sign.
Do I need to clean out the house?
Take what you want, leave the rest. We've cleared houses with forty years of belongings. One less thing for you to worry about.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. No agent commission, no closing costs on your side, no hidden charges. The offer is the amount you walk away with (minus any mortgage payoff or liens, itemized at closing).
What areas do you buy in?
All over Wisconsin — Eau Claire, La Crosse, Superior, Wausau, Chippewa Falls, Hudson, River Falls, Rhinelander, and everywhere in between. If it's in the state, we'll look at it.
Why shouldn't I just list with an agent?
If your house is in great shape and you're not in a hurry, listing might net more. But after commissions, closing costs, repairs, and months of carrying costs, the 'higher price' often isn't. We'll help you compare honestly.
Will you really buy my house as-is?
Yes. Don't repair anything, don't clean, don't haul junk. We factor condition into our offer and handle everything after closing.
Do I need to be in Wisconsin for this to work?
No. Out-of-state and out-of-country owners sell to us regularly. Everything can be done remotely with electronic documents and a mobile notary.
I inherited a house. What do I need to sell it to you?
Usually just your ID and whatever probate or heirship documents exist. If the estate is still in probate, we can work with your attorney on timing. We've done many of these.
Is your offer actually cash?
Yes — we buy with our own funds, no lenders involved. No financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no last-minute surprises.
How do you determine your offer price?
We estimate the after-repair value from recent comparable sales nearby, subtract renovation costs and our margin, and that's your offer. We'll show you the comps if you ask.
The city cited me for code violations. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Violations stay with the property and we clear them post-closing. No need to fix anything first.
