Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and amounts due. Compare repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes—not only the headline price.
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.

Useful questions
Mount Pleasant seller questions, answered
Do I need to repair or clean a Mount Pleasant house before selling to you?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What would I keep after selling my house?
There is no single net amount for every house. What remains depends on the written sale price and the costs and balances tied to the property. Compare possible proceeds after repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes—not just the headline price.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer, and what comes before I decide?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Who pays Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. For an ordinary taxable sale, the state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. State and county exemptions are separate, so the actual amount depends on the property's county, sale value, and any exemption. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell if a Michigan mortgage foreclosure sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
A sale may still be possible if the required payoff or redemption can be completed before the applicable deadline. Michigan mortgage-foreclosure auctions are commonly called sheriff's sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, six months after the sale is the most common redemption period, but shorter and longer periods apply. Redemption requires the sale amount plus required interest and charges, not just the missed payments. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the sale status, exact deadline, and amount needed before relying on a closing date. 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.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can ask about the house before every estate paper is gathered. Who signs and what paperwork is needed depend on the property records and the estate; those details can be reviewed before a sale closes. You do not need a complete file before asking a question.
Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes. You can ask while the house is occupied. Share what you know about the lease, access, occupancy, and timing so those details can be part of the property-specific review.
Can I ask about a house with liens, back taxes, or a payoff balance?
Yes. Start with the property address and any notice or balance information you have. The actual amounts and how they affect a sale need to be checked against the property and account records. Our closing-cost payment does not pay a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Does a Mount Pleasant mailing address tell me which local rules apply?
No. Confirm the parcel’s actual municipality instead of relying on a mailing address or area name. The City of Mount Pleasant publishes a city map, and Isabella County separately lists township and village governments. Check the address against the appropriate municipal and county parcel resources.
Do I need every document before I call?
No. Start with the property address, what you know about the house, who occupies it, and the timing or question on your mind. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper may help with a follow-up, but you can call before everything is gathered.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing or question on your mind. A deed, notice, payoff statement, lease, or estate paper may help with a follow-up, but you do not need every paper ready to call.
Call 888-274-5006 and ask about the house as it is today.
Local help
Check the municipality for a Mount Pleasant-area property
The City of Mount Pleasant and Isabella County are different jurisdictions, and the county also lists township and village governments. A mailing address alone does not confirm where a parcel sits. Use the city map and county government lists as starting points, then verify the address with the appropriate municipal or county parcel resource.
