The short answer
Listing can fit when the house is ready to show and you have time for preparation, showings, buyer questions, and the wait for closing. A direct as-is sale gives you another written number to compare when repairs, a rental, an inherited house, a City notice, or a deadline changes what you want to take on. Put likely costs and carrying time beside each option before deciding.
With a listing, compare the expected sale price with preparation, repairs, cleaning, commissions, inspection requests, and bills while you wait. In a direct sale, you can review written terms before deciding whether to take on that work. The calculator below can help compare estimated net proceeds; the property’s own costs still matter.
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.

Closing questions
An appointed personal representative can generally sell estate real estate during administration without a separate court order, while acting for the estate and following the will and any court restrictions. A state or county public administrator needs court approval before selling estate real estate. The deed, will, and appointment papers determine who can sign and what is needed to close; being named in a will alone does not give someone the personal representative’s powers.

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property’s value at sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At the 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. The seller is generally responsible under state law. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the county rate and any exemption for the actual property and sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

A sale may still be possible if the required payoff or redemption can be completed before the applicable deadline. Michigan mortgage foreclosure auctions are commonly called sheriff’s sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redeeming means paying the required amount to reclaim the property; it takes the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just missed payments. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount needed before relying on a closing date.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
