2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Talk through the property
Share what you know about the Rhinelander house, its condition, occupancy, access, and timing. An estate, tenant, lien, payoff, tax account, or notice can be part of the conversation even if some details are still open.
Review the house and your choices
We ask practical questions about the property and talk through the available sale paths. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare selling to us with listing, repairing, waiting, or another option.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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.
Work through title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Keep current statements, notices, and estate papers available so the title company can check what applies to this sale.
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.

Rhinelander is a city in Oneida County
This page focuses on houses inside the incorporated City of Rhinelander, not every town in Oneida County. The county directory lists the city separately from the county's towns, so check the property's municipality when looking for local information.
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. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize. 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's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It's 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.
Read the Wisconsin statutes on real estate transfer fees ↗ or the Wisconsin Department of Revenue transfer-fee report ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. The title company confirms the final figures for your sale.
