Start with what you would keep
The useful comparison is what remains after sale costs and property-specific items, not only the headline price. Compare possible net proceeds using the Oshkosh calculator, then compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale options.
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.

Oshkosh seller questions, answered
Do I need to repair, clean, or empty an Oshkosh house before you buy?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. See options for a house with a code notice.
How soon can I get a written offer, and when could we close?
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. We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and any liens or court matters. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. See how the cash-offer process works in Oshkosh.
How can I compare what I would keep?
What you keep depends on the sale terms and items such as your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and sale costs. Compare possible net proceeds, not just the headline price. Compare possible Oshkosh net proceeds with the calculator.
What closing costs and Wisconsin transfer fee do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded; recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate items. Compare sale costs and possible proceeds.
What if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, call us promptly so we can review the timing with you. 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. After the auction, the right to redeem can last until the court confirms the sale, but redeeming requires paying the full foreclosure judgment, interest, costs, and applicable later taxes—not just overdue installments. Read about selling during a foreclosure.
Can I ask about selling before every estate paper is gathered?
Yes. You can ask before you have every estate document. We review who has authority to sign and what the title company needs before closing. Read about Oshkosh probate and estate records.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living there?
You can ask about a tenant-occupied house even if you don't have every lease detail. We review who lives there and the possession arrangement. A sale by itself does not end a lease or guarantee vacant possession. Read about tenant-occupied Oshkosh homes.
What should I have ready before I ask about selling?
The property address and what you know about its condition, occupancy, and timing are enough to start. We can tell you whether a notice, lease, estate paper, or payoff statement would help with a specific question. Open the Oshkosh seller guide.
Can I sell a house with an Oshkosh code-violation notice?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can review the code notice and deadline with you; the office that issued it can explain the required steps. Read about Oshkosh code violations.
What if there is a mortgage balance or lien on the property?
A mortgage payoff or lien is separate from the sale price and can reduce what remains for you. We review title and payoff information with the closing company so you can see how it affects your proceeds. Read about property liens and sale records.
