What we do with the house and its contents
You can take the belongings you want and leave the rest with the house. We can talk through what you want to keep and include those terms in writing before you decide. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the property to sell to us.
Property-tax bills, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue while an estate holds a house. A direct sale can shorten the time you carry those costs once the sale closes.
What happens next
- Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to tell us about the Baraboo house, its condition, contents, and what you know about the estate. We can talk through the property and your options.
- We review the house as it is and give you the written cash offer and terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing. We coordinate with the title company so it can review the deed and estate papers and confirm who needs to sign before a closing date is set.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
What you keep
Compare the written offer with an estimate of what a listing might leave after costs. Use your own assumptions; a mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and other sale costs can affect the amount left.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.

Who can sign for the estate?
A Wisconsin personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property without a separate court order. The will may restrict a sale, and a beneficiary specifically left the house generally must join in the sale.
A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims. A valid transfer-on-death designation may pass the house outside probate.
Wisconsin law: read Wis. Stat. § 860.01, § 860.11(1)–(4), and § 705.15.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee 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.
