From first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Boyne City address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You do not have to settle every property question before the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
3. Read the written offer and terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other recorded obligation. Bring any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have; the title company can identify what else is needed for this sale.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

Two ways to sell to us

Compare the 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.

Local records for a Boyne City sale

Check the municipality and recorded land documents

Charlevoix County lists Boyne City separately from its townships. Boyne City provides planning and zoning services to Evangeline Township under an arrangement, but that does not make the township part of the city. If you are unsure which local rules or office apply, check the municipality for the property address. The Charlevoix County Register of Deeds keeps recorded county land documents; the title company checks which records and documents matter for your sale.

Closing numbers

See how the settlement figures add up

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement.

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. At the 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so the actual county rate, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the property. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

When things get difficult

We keep working through the bumps

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
