From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Fond du Lac address, what you know about the condition, who occupies the house, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, or deadline question is unsettled, tell us what you know so far. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property as it is
We ask practical questions about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing so we can discuss the property and the sale choices in front of you. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title and payoff details
For a sale that moves forward, the title company reviews the deed, 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 obligation. A lien is a recorded claim for money against the property. If one of these details is unknown, you can start with what you know and identify what needs to be checked.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
A settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down, including the price and amounts such as payoffs, liens, taxes, and costs. 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 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.
