Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address through the form to ask for a written cash offer.
The short answer
Share the address, the condition and occupancy you know, and the date that matters to you. We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare that number with repairs, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time a listing may take.
Compare the choices
A listing may fit when you can prepare the house, arrange showings, and cover costs while it is on the market. Compare the likely amount left after repairs, cleanout, commissions, concessions, mortgage payments, utilities, taxes, and the time to close—not just the asking price.
Ask for written terms before deciding whether to take on repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout. Put the offer beside the property's payoff, other amounts due, occupancy, and timing so you can compare what you may keep.
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale numbers with a realistic listing plan. The work, timing, and amount you keep can differ; choose based on the written terms for your house.
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 City's assessing office covers property within City limits; Marquette Township and Chocolay Township are separate county municipalities. A Marquette mailing address alone may not tell you which local office handles a property question.
The City's Community Master Plan describes the Historic Core as downtown, waterfront, and historic residential areas north of Washington Street and east of Seventh Street. It notes duplexes through multi-story apartments in the Core and a mix of housing types in South Marquette, including duplexes, ranches, split-level houses, and mobile homes. For a sale comparison, the actual home's condition, layout, and occupancy matter more than its planning-area label.
The City Fire Department runs a rental-registration process and accepts reports of rental-code violations. If a rental has an open notice, we can review the house as-is; the notice and its deadline may still affect timing.

Signatures, costs, and deadlines
The title company handling closing reviews the deed and any estate or court papers to confirm who must sign. Marquette County Probate Court handles probate matters in the county.

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. State and county exemptions are separate, so confirm the county, sale value, and any exemption for the actual sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain 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. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just the 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.
