Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

Useful questions
Questions about selling in Boyne City
What could I keep after selling a Boyne City house?
What you keep is the sale price after the costs and payoffs that apply to your house. Compare written numbers, not only the headline price: repairs, commissions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and other property-specific amounts can change the result.
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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 soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
What transfer taxes apply when a Michigan house sells?
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan 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. County transfer tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property’s county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. State law generally makes the seller responsible. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell if a Michigan mortgage foreclosure is underway?
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.

What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who is living there, and your timing. A deed, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or foreclosure paper can help answer the next question, but you can call before every document is gathered or every decision is made.
