Questions About Selling a House in Platteville, WI

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can ask about a Platteville or Grant County house in its current condition.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get written offer terms before you commit, and the closing is through a title company.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate.

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

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.

Usually, yes. A personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property without a separate court order. The will still matters: restrictions on a sale must be followed, and a beneficiary specifically left the house generally must join in the sale. A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims. A valid transfer-on-death designation may pass the house outside probate. Have the deed, will, appointment papers and any court orders checked before setting the closing date. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under it. Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period; the lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required. Account for the lease, rent and security-deposit balance when arranging the closing.

Usually, yes. Wisconsin restricts local rules that make a sale or a buyer’s residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs or a related fee. Local authorities can still enforce property standards independently of a sale and enforce state or federal requirements, so an existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention. Gather the actual notices so the buyer and closing professional can review the work, deadlines and any charges attached to the property. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Start with the current payoff, tax bill, or lien notice for the property. Those amounts are separate from our closing-cost and Wisconsin real estate transfer-fee promises. The title company uses the property records and current figures to show what applies to the closing; the actual amounts and settlement depend on the property.

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing that matters to you. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax bill, payoff, lien notice, code notice, or court paper can help answer a follow-up question, but you can call before you have everything gathered.
