Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Beaver Dam and Dodge County seller questions
Can I sell my Beaver Dam house as-is without making repairs?

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
How do I compare what I would keep from a sale?
Compare net proceeds, not only the sale price. Include the costs that apply to your property, such as repairs, commission, cleanout, time carrying the house, mortgage payoff, and liens. Actual numbers depend on the house and the written terms.
What is Wisconsin’s 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. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
What if a mortgage payoff or lien is part of the sale?
A payoff or lien is separate from the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. The title and closing review needs to identify the actual payoff and any recorded items for the property. Do not assume that the transfer-fee statement means a mortgage, lien, or other balance is paid.
Can I sell my Wisconsin house while it is in foreclosure?
You may still have time 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.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork figured out?
Yes. You can call with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the question or deadline in front of you. We can start with those facts; title and closing professionals still need to verify the property-specific documents, authority, title, and payoff before closing.
Can you review a tenant-occupied or inherited house?
Yes. We can review tenant-occupied and inherited houses as-is. Share what you know about occupancy, access, estate paperwork, and who may be handling the sale. The actual lease, title, signing authority, and closing requirements still need to be checked for the property.

For a recorded deed or mortgage-record question, start with the Dodge County Register of Deeds.

The record and deadline for a specific property need to be confirmed directly.
