Caro, MI illustrative estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

For an ordinary taxable sale at the usual county rate, this estimate adds $3.75 state tax and $0.55 county tax for each $500, or part of $500, of the estimated sale price. Exemptions or a different county rate can change the amount.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.

Choose the question closest to yours
You stop paying for a house and get a fair price.
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.
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's 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. Tuscola County generally adds 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. The seller is generally responsible under state law. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property's county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale.
For example, on a $100,000 taxable sale, the state tax is $750 and the county tax at the general 55-cent rate is $110, or $860 total before any exemption. That total is not necessarily your personal share; the contract and settlement statement show the transaction's allocation. 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 share of current property taxes remain separate.
Caro Code Enforcement addresses exterior maintenance, nuisance conditions, unsafe or abandoned structures, and weeds or debris. We buy houses as-is, so you can tell us about a City notice or deferred exterior work when you describe the property.
