We have two ways to buy. Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale below.
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.

Caro seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Caro house without fixing or cleaning it first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what is still in the house so you can compare the written terms with your other options.
What matters when I compare what I would keep from a sale?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and amounts due. Compare the written price with the repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes that apply to your house.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the Caro property address and the condition, occupancy, and timing details you know.
Who pays Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes?
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500, at that county rate. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property, county, sale value, and any exemption affect the actual amount. 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. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I sell my Michigan house if a foreclosure sheriff’s sale is coming?
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.
Do I need every document before I call or ask about an offer?
No. Start with the property address and the question you have. We give you the written offer and terms before you commit. If you decide to sell to us, closing takes place through a title company. The title company can confirm what property-specific information is needed before closing.
Start with a question, not a stack of papers
You can call before you have every detail figured out or every document gathered. Start with the Caro address, what you know about the house, and the question or timing you are working through.
