Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and property obligations that apply to your sale. Compare the written Cash Offer or EZ Sale terms with a realistic listing estimate, including repairs, cleanout, selling costs, payoffs, liens, taxes, and time carrying the house.
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.

Osceola seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Osceola house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in the Village of Osceola and Polk County, Wisconsin.
Can I see the offer and terms before I decide?
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
How do I compare what I will keep from a sale?
Net proceeds are what remains after the sale price and the costs and property obligations that apply to your sale. Compare the written Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms with what you might keep from a listing, including selling costs, repairs, payoffs, and time carrying the house. The calculator can help you compare estimates.
What closing costs and other bills do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate property-specific amounts.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
How soon can a sale close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
What is Wisconsin’s real estate transfer fee?
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, collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Recording and other closing charges are separate; mortgages, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate property obligations.
Can I sell a Wisconsin house after foreclosure starts or a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
You may still have time to sell 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 redeeming requires full payment of the foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. 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.
