Skip repairs, contractors, and showings
A traditional listing can mean getting repair estimates, coordinating contractors, preparing the house for showings, and responding to requests after inspections. With us, you don't have to arrange repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout before selling.
Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers
Wisconsin generally requires both spouses to join in conveying a married person's interest in a homestead, subject to statutory exceptions. A divorce-court order may affect the sale, too. We review ownership and seller authority with the title company, which confirms the required signatures and closing documents; a Wisconsin family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
Wisconsin's homestead-signature rule is in Wis. Stat. § 706.02.
Bring us the problem before it's all settled
Different schedules, trouble arranging access, or a disagreement about repairs or who pays? Tell us what is unresolved. You can discuss the house with us before every disagreement is settled.

Questions about selling a Janesville house during divorce
Can we talk about selling before every divorce detail is settled?
Yes. You can talk with us before every disagreement is settled. Whether the house can be sold depends on its ownership and any court order that applies; the title company can confirm the closing documents, and an attorney can explain an order’s effect on your situation.
Does one spouse have to sign to sell a Janesville house?
Wisconsin generally requires both spouses to join in conveying a married person’s interest in a homestead, subject to statutory exceptions. A divorce-court order may affect the sale, too. We review ownership and seller authority with the title company, which confirms the required signatures and closing documents; an attorney can explain an order’s effect on your situation.
Do we have to repair or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Can we sign in different places?
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you. Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
