2. The sale, step by step

From the first conversation to settlement

1. Talk through the house and the situation
We talk through the property address, its condition, access, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. If ownership, a mortgage payoff, lien, or notice needs checking, we work through those questions with you and the title company as the sale moves forward.
2. Review the house and written terms
We ask practical questions about repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We put the offer and sale terms in writing for you to review before you commit. They set out the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions so you can decide whether they work for you.
3. Let the title company check title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, we work with the title company to check the deed, who owns the property and can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement.
4. Review the settlement sheet and close
If you choose to proceed, the closing takes place through the title company. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

3. Two ways to sell

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.

4. Useful local details

A Village and a Town of Osceola

Polk County lists a Village and a separate Town of Osceola. The shared name alone does not establish which municipality a property is in, so local questions may need to go to different offices.

5. Closing numbers

Review the settlement sheet and Wisconsin transfer fee

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other entries, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. We review the breakdown with you. 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.

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 is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee 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.

The named transfer fee is separate from mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.
