Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and balances tied to your sale. Compare the written sale number with repairs, selling costs, cleanout, bills while you own the house, your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. The closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Two ways to buy
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.

Grand Rapids seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Grand Rapids house as-is?
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 condition, access, and timing.
How quickly 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.
Who pays closing costs when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate from closing costs.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork?
Yes. Call with the property address and the facts you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, or notice can help answer a follow-up question, but you can start before you have everything gathered.
Can you review a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied property. Share the lease terms, who lives there, access limits, notices, and timing so those details can be part of the sale discussion.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can ask before every paper is gathered. Tell us whose name is on the deed, who is handling the estate, and what documents you have. The person who can sign and the papers needed for this sale must be confirmed before closing.
Can you review a house with a city code notice?
You can ask us to review the house as-is, even when there is a code notice or repair work to discuss. Share the notice and any date on it; ask the office that issued it what the notice requires for that address.
How do liens, back taxes, or property taxes affect what I keep?
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. Ask the title company to confirm how the actual property balances appear in the settlement figures.
Start with a question
You can call before everything is figured out
Start with the address, what you know about the house, and the question in front of you. You do not need every document gathered to call.
