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 about selling in Rhinelander
Can I sell a Rhinelander house as-is, without repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through the condition and any unfinished work.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before committing; closing takes place through a title company.
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.
What is Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee?
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.
What happens to closing costs, mortgage balances, and liens?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. The title company can confirm the property-specific payoffs and how they appear in the closing figures.
Can I sell my Rhinelander house while a mortgage foreclosure is pending?
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.
Can I sell a Rhinelander rental with tenants still living there?
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.
