Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
The Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison shows two written paths side by side. Read the terms and decide which one fits your house.
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.

Waupaca seller questions, answered
Do I have to repair or clean out my Waupaca house before selling?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what work the house needs and what you know about its condition.
How soon can I get a written offer, and when do I decide?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The 24-hour statement is about the written offer, not a promised closing date.
What costs affect what I keep from a sale?
Compare the money left after the costs for each path, not just the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those are separate property-specific amounts.
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 if a Wisconsin sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
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. 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 ask about selling a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied property. Tell us what you know about the occupancy, lease, access, and timing so the property can be considered as it stands.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. Start with the property address and the question you are trying to answer. A deed, estate paper, lease, tax bill, payoff information, or court notice can help clarify the next step if you already have it. Before closing, the title company confirms the written transaction details.
