The short answer
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. We review the house's condition, title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and the timing that matters, then compare a direct sale with listing so you can decide which option fits.
Compare the choices
A listing can reach retail buyers, but weigh the work and bills: repairs, cleanout, showings, inspection responses, commissions, taxes, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the house. Compare what you might keep after those costs and the payoff—not only the asking price.
Start with the house as it sits. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No agent commissions when you sell to us. The direct Cash Offer has no listing-agent showings; EZ Sale includes partner visits. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Compare the written price and terms with your payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the timing that matters. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.

Local property context
The 2025 Census place data lists Eau Claire city in both Chippewa and Eau Claire counties. We confirm the right county from the home's address as we review the sale.

Randall Park includes some of Eau Claire’s oldest homes, Third Ward has eclectic houses, and downtown has residences alongside new construction and renovations. If your house needs work, we buy as-is so you can compare options without renovating first.
The local neighborhood guide describes students in Randall Park and Third Ward and places Putnam Heights just off upper campus. For a tenant-occupied home, we review the lease, access, and possession plan with you.

Wisconsin closing questions
For a jointly owned house, we review the deed and ownership papers to identify who signs. For inherited Wisconsin property, a personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property without a separate court order. A will restriction or a specific gift of the house to a beneficiary can change who must join in the sale. We review the deed and estate papers with the title company and can help you find an estate attorney if needed.
Yes. You can sell a Wisconsin house with tenants in it. An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord's obligations; tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. We review the lease, occupancy, access, and possession plan with you. A Wisconsin attorney can advise on a specific lease.

On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. It is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt; recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.

You may still have time to sell during a Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure if the sale can close and resolve the debt. Wisconsin mortgage foreclosure goes through court. The right to redeem can continue after the sheriff’s auction until the court confirms the sale, but it requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. Have the actual judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date checked promptly. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. 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.

We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
