The short answer

Compare written terms with the work and costs of listing this house

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. We review the title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with you, then compare written terms with the costs and timing for this property so you can see what you might keep.

Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing can reach retail buyers. Compare the likely sale price with repairs, cleaning, showings, inspection requests, commissions, utilities, insurance, taxes, payoff, and the time you carry the house. Selling on your own may avoid a listing-agent commission, but you take on the marketing, showings, and negotiations yourself. A higher asking price is not the same as what you keep.

Sell directly as-is

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare the written price and terms with the work, costs, payoff, and timing that apply to your property.

With a Cash Offer, we buy directly, so there are no listing-agent showings. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. We give you a written offer and written terms to review before you commit; if you proceed, we close through a title company.

Two ways we buy

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 facts

Racine’s older core and the house you own

Whether you live nearby or manage the property from out of town, we can review its condition, occupancy, access, and carrying costs with you.

Closing questions

Answers depend on the property and the sale

We give you the written offer and its terms before you decide whether to sell. If you proceed, closing takes place through a title company.

Who can sign?

The deed and any estate, trust, or court papers determine who can sign. The title company handling the sale confirms the required signers and documents. If authority is unclear or disputed, a Wisconsin attorney can advise you.

Tenants, access, and possession

We can review a tenant-occupied house; the lease, access, deposits, and possession plan shape the sale options. The agreement and Wisconsin law control a specific lease or move-out date; an attorney can advise on those details.

Wisconsin real estate transfer fee

On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. It 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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate. The title company can identify recording and other charges for this transaction.

Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 77 · Wisconsin Department of Revenue transfer-fee report

Mortgage foreclosure and a sheriff’s sale

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 redeeming requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. A Wisconsin attorney can review the judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date 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.

Review the settlement sheet

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.

Compare written terms with the work and costs of preparing, listing, showing, and carrying this particular house. Consider repairs, cleanout, commissions, utilities, insurance, payoff, and your timing. A listing may fit your plans; a direct sale gives you another set of written terms to compare.

What do the Racine County market numbers tell me about my house?

These measures describe Racine County, not an individual home. Redfin and Zillow use different measures and reporting periods, so treat them as context rather than an appraisal or offer for your house.
