Share what you know about the property and the sale questions in front of you.

From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Tell us the address and what you know about the house and your timing. If something is still unclear, we can talk it through during the first conversation; you do not need every property question settled before you start.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about 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.
3. Read the offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, closing takes place 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.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. We can talk through questions about statements, notices, or estate papers as the title work moves forward.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
A 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.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

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.

Eagle River and Vilas County details

Local details for Eagle River and Vilas County

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. Read each line and ask the title company about anything you do not recognize; the title company confirms the final numbers.

On a sale that isn’t exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. It is 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.

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

Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

Read Wisconsin Statutes chapter 77 and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s Real Estate Transfer Fee report, November 20, 2025 for the state fee details.

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.
