Questions About Selling a House in Mauston, WI

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what access is available; you do not need to fix or clear the house before asking about a cash offer.

Compare what remains after the costs of each path, not just the sale price. Repairs, commissions, cleanout, carrying costs, taxes, mortgage payoff, and liens can change the comparison. Use assumptions that fit your house and compare the written numbers for the actual options.

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.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The property-specific closing date is part of the written terms; the closing is through a title company.

On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt; recording and other closing charges are separate.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. The actual payoff or tax balance depends on the property and its records.

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. Have the actual judgment, payoff, and confirmation-hearing date checked promptly. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. 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.
