Skip repair projects, contractors, and showings
We buy houses as-is in Adrian and Lenawee County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to line up contractors, prepare the house for public showings, or decide who will do the work before asking about a direct sale.

Who can sign depends on the deed and any court order
Start with the recorded deed: it shows how ownership is recorded. A divorce judgment or another court order about the house may affect what has to happen before a sale and whose signatures are needed. The title company checks the deed and closing documents for the property; a Michigan attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
Bring us the problem before every detail is settled
If repairs, access, different schedules, or a disagreement are making a regular sale difficult, tell us what is happening. You can talk with us before every question is resolved.
