USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Waukesha and Waukesha County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Keep the belongings you want; the written sale terms can address the items that remain.
While an estate holds a house, property taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage payments, and upkeep can continue. Which costs apply depends on the house and its accounts.
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Compare estimated proceeds from an as-is sale with a listing using your numbers for repairs, cleanout, monthly bills, and closing costs.
Open the Waukesha home-sale net proceeds calculator →Usually, yes: if a personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—has court-issued letters that have not been revoked, they can generally sell estate property without a separate court order. Follow any restriction on a sale in the will, 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 required expenses and claims. A valid transfer-on-death designation may let the named beneficiary receive the house outside probate. Have the deed, will, appointment papers, and any court orders checked before setting a closing date. See Wis. Stat. § 860.01, § 860.11, and § 705.15.
We help coordinate the sale, but we do not provide legal advice. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
On a Wisconsin sale that isn't exempt, the real estate transfer fee is 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. See Wisconsin's transfer-fee statutes and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue transfer-fee information.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
