Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the price
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property obligations. Compare the possible numbers for your Wautoma house, including the costs and payoff amounts that apply to it.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale written numbers side by side, then choose the path that fits your house and priorities.
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 here
Do I need to repair or clean out my Wautoma 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 the house needs and what you know about its condition.
How soon can I get a written cash offer, and when do I decide?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you decide whether to commit. If you proceed, closing is through a title company.
What costs affect what I keep from a sale?
Compare the money left after the costs for each selling 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.
Can I still sell my Wisconsin house if foreclosure has started?
Yes, you may still have time if a 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. We can review whether a sale might resolve the debt and work toward closing before that schedule advances. 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 ask about selling a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied house as-is and talk through the occupancy, lease, access, and timing with you. You do not have to sort out the tenancy before calling.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. You can call with the question you have now; we can start with what you know and talk through what else may matter for this property.

Local help
Where can I check a Wautoma address for zoning or mapped land features?
The City of Wautoma links parcel, zoning, floodplain, and wetland maps to check a specific address. A Wautoma mailing address alone does not establish whether a parcel is inside city limits or which taxing or zoning rules apply.
