Money and choices
Start with what you might keep
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written sale terms with costs and property-specific amounts such as a mortgage payoff or liens. The calculator lets you change assumptions and compare possible listing and cash-sale net proceeds.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
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.

Common questions about selling in Eau Claire
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How quickly will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. Before you commit, we provide the written offer and terms; a title company handles the closing.
How much might I keep after the sale?
The sale price alone does not tell you what you would keep. Compare the written sale terms with costs and property-specific amounts such as a mortgage payoff or liens. The calculator lets you change assumptions and compare possible listing and cash-sale net proceeds.
What is Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee?
On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It's 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.
Can I sell a 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. The actual judgment, payoff and confirmation date affect your options. 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 ask about an inherited house before I have every estate paper?
Yes. You can call with what you know, and we can talk through the property before every estate paper is together. Who may accept an offer or sign depends on the estate authority and property title; an estate attorney and closing professional can confirm who has authority and what the closing requires.
What if the house has an open code notice?
You can ask about an as-is sale without first completing repairs. We can review what you know about the notice. The municipality’s requirements depend on the notice and property, and a sale offer does not resolve the notice.
Start with a question, not a stack of papers
You can call before you have every document or every detail figured out. Tell us what you know about the house and what is on your mind. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.
