Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
The useful comparison is what remains after the costs and balances attached to your house. Use the calculator to compare possible net proceeds with assumptions for repairs, selling costs, holding costs, payoff, and other property details.
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.

Flint seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Flint house as-is if it needs repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its condition.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the property address and the condition, access, and timing details you know.
What would I keep from a cash sale?
There is no one number for every house. Compare the written sale amount with the costs and balances tied to your property, such as repairs, selling costs, holding costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes. Change the calculator assumptions to fit your situation.
Who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate amounts to confirm for the house.
Can I sell a Flint house while a tenant is living there?
Yes, we can review a tenant-occupied house. Tell us what the lease says, who lives there, and any access or timing limits. The lease and the facts of the tenancy still matter to the sale plan.
Can I start before all inherited-property paperwork is ready?
Yes. You can call before every estate document is gathered. We can discuss the house and the situation; the title company and appropriate professionals need to confirm who can sign before a sale closes.
What if a foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Call as soon as you can and share the notice. 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. Check the sale date and current requirements against the actual notice and court record.
Can I ask about a house with a city notice or code violation?
Yes. You can ask about the house before completing repairs. Share the notice and the condition you know about so the property can be reviewed as-is; a sale discussion does not cancel a notice or change its deadline.
What paperwork do I need before I call?
You do not need every document to start a conversation. Share the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing question you are trying to solve. You receive written terms before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
Start with the property address, what you know about the house, and the question that is making the sale difficult. You do not need to have every document or decision settled before you call 888-274-5006.
Local help
Which Genesee County office can answer a records question?
For recorded deed or mortgage-record questions, start with the Genesee County Register of Deeds. For a county property-tax account question, contact the Genesee County Treasurer. Ask the office about the specific parcel and record you need.
