You can list with an agent, sell the house yourself, or compare a direct sale. A listing or owner sale may involve preparing the house, arranging buyer access, responding to inquiries, and carrying costs while you wait. The work and expenses depend on your property and the terms you choose. For a direct sale, compare the written numbers and terms, not just the headline price.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Check the exact Mauston property location
The City of Mauston lists street, zoning, floodplain, and Mauston-Lemonweir extraterritorial-zone maps. If a repair or local-rule question depends on a parcel, check the actual location on the City’s maps and ask the City Zoning / Planning department. A county location or mailing address alone does not determine a parcel boundary.

Which costs and complications should you compare?
Compare likely repairs and preparation, selling expenses, and the bills you expect to carry while a listing is active with the written price and terms of a direct offer. A mortgage payoff, lien, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes can also affect what you keep. Use the Mauston home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare planning estimates using your own assumptions.
On a Wisconsin sale that is not exempt, the real estate transfer fee is 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
Sources: Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 77 and Wisconsin Department of Revenue, Real Estate Transfer Fee report, November 20, 2025.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. The named transfer fee is separate from liens and other charges. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate as well; those amounts are not covered by the closing-cost or transfer-fee statements.
For a specific Juneau County parcel, the County Treasurer points taxpayers to its tax and assessment portal and the actual tax bill for payment instructions. The County says first-installment payments go to the municipality and second-installment payments go to the County; that routing does not establish the balance for any particular house.
What can you do now?
Start with the full property address, what needs work, whether anyone lives there, and the timing that matters to you. You do not have to repair or clean out the house before asking us to compare options.
