Skip repairs, contractors, and listing showings

A traditional listing can mean getting repair estimates, hiring contractors, cleaning and clearing the house, and coordinating buyer showings. During a divorce, those tasks can add more scheduling and decisions to work through.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You can tell us what access is workable and discuss the property as it stands. You do not need to organize contractors or a public listing-showing schedule before you talk with us.

Who can sign? Start with the deed and court papers

There is not one signature answer for every divorce sale. The recorded deed shows whose names are listed as owners, but it may not answer every question raised by a divorce. Wisconsin's marital-property rules and any court order about the house can matter.

Wisconsin law generally requires each spouse to sign or join in conveying a married person's interest in a homestead, subject to statutory exceptions. Whether that rule applies depends on the home and the documents. A title company can confirm the deed, required signatures, and closing documents; a Wisconsin family-law attorney can explain what a divorce judgment or court order means for your situation.

You can talk with us about the Mauston house while those papers are being reviewed. The property's recorded ownership and the actual order—not a general rule of thumb—guide the steps for a particular sale.

Bring us the problem before every detail is settled

Different schedules, an unresolved repair question, difficult access, or a disagreement about showings or timing? Tell us what is getting stuck. You can start a conversation before every disagreement is settled.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. You do not have to resolve every practical issue before you contact us.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    Share the Mauston address, the home's condition, who has access, and what is making a regular sale difficult. Start with what you know; you do not need to settle every practical question before you call.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We discuss the house and give you written terms to review before you commit. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

  3. 3. Confirm the documents for closing

    The title company reviews the deed, title, required signatures, payoff information, and any court papers that apply. Your family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or order means for the house; the title company confirms the documents needed for this closing.

  4. 4. Review the figures and close

    Review the settlement figures with the closing team. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

    You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

Signing from another location

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.

Juneau County property records and Wisconsin guidance

The recorded deed and any divorce-court papers are useful starting points. County offices provide records and filing information; the title company and a Wisconsin family-law attorney can help explain what those documents mean for this sale.

Juneau County Register of Deeds

The office records real-estate documents and provides access to recorded records and copies. It is at 220 East State Street, Room 212, Mauston, WI 53948; phone 608-847-9325. The office says it does not conduct title searches or interpret or prepare documents.

Use the recorded deed as a starting point, then ask the title company what it means for the sale and which signatures are needed.

Wisconsin homestead, marital-property, and divorce rules

Wisconsin's homestead-conveyance rule addresses signatures when a married person conveys an interest in a homestead, subject to exceptions. Chapters 766 and 767 contain the state's marital-property and divorce rules. The deed, the property, and any order in the case determine what applies to a particular home.

Questions about selling a Mauston house during divorce

Can we start talking about a sale before the divorce is final?

Yes. You can talk with us about the Mauston house before every practical disagreement is settled. The deed and any court order about the property still need review so the title company can confirm the documents and signatures needed for closing.

Who has to sign to sell a house during a Wisconsin divorce?

There is not one signature answer for every house. The deed, whether the house is a Wisconsin homestead, marital-property rules, and any divorce judgment or court order can matter. Wisconsin law generally requires each spouse to sign or join in conveying a married person’s interest in a homestead, subject to statutory exceptions. The title company can confirm the closing documents and signatures; a Wisconsin family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.

Do we need to settle repairs, contractors, or showings first?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.

Can we sign separately or from another location?

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.

What happens after we contact you?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. The title company reviews the deed, title, required signatures, and any court papers that apply to the house.
