From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Caro address, the house's condition, who is living there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask 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. Then we talk through the choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 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 you decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews 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 another obligation. Bring any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have; you can begin with what you know while the needed records are identified.
Step 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.

Caro and Tuscola County details

City and county records have different routes

The City of Caro and Tuscola County are separate governments. The county directory lists Caro among its local cities, but it does not determine the municipal boundary for a particular address. Check the property's actual municipality before relying on city-specific instructions. The Tuscola County Register of Deeds provides land-record search and recording information; the title company checks which documents are needed for your sale.

Closing numbers

Read the settlement figures

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.

For an ordinary taxable Michigan sale, the state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. The seller is generally responsible under state law. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property's county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. See the Michigan state transfer-tax statute ↗ and the county transfer-tax statute ↗.

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.
