Skip repairs, contractors, and showings
A regular listing can mean getting repair estimates, coordinating contractors, cleaning and clearing the house, and preparing for public showings. Those are more decisions and scheduling to manage during a difficult time.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. You can tell us about the house as it is, and we can talk through access and scheduling.
Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers
Who signs depends on the deed and any divorce judgment or other court order. We can review the deed and court papers with the title company to work out the signing steps; your attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
You can talk with us while those questions are being reviewed. The Marathon County Register of Deeds handles land records, and the Marathon County Clerk of Courts handles court and case records.
Bring us the problem before it is all settled
Different schedules, an unresolved repair question, trouble arranging access, or a disagreement about the next step? Tell us what is making a normal sale difficult. You do not have to resolve every practical issue before discussing the house.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to start the conversation.
What happens next
1. Tell us about the house
Tell us what is happening with the Wausau house and what is making a regular sale difficult. We can talk through the home's condition, access, and timing together.
2. Review the written offer and terms
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.
3. Check the signing and closing details
We review title, payoff information, occupancy, seller authority, and court papers with the title company to map out the signing and closing steps. Your attorney can explain what a divorce agreement or court order means for the sale.
4. Sign and close
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Signing from another location
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.
