Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. So here’s a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us… along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you list my house on the MLS or actually buy it?
We actually buy your house — we do not list it on the MLS.
We are local cash home buyers in Southwest Michigan, not real estate agents. That means we purchase houses directly with our own funds instead of listing them for sale and waiting on a buyer. Once we buy your property, we may repair it and resell it or keep it as a rental. You don’t have to deal with showings, inspections, or months of uncertainty.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for houses?
Yes — we make fair cash offers based on the condition, location, and market value of your home.
Because we buy houses as-is and take on repairs, holding costs, and resale risk, our offers are typically below full retail value. That said, many homeowners prefer a fair cash offer because it allows them to:
- Sell quickly
- Avoid repairs
- Skip agent commissions
- Close without financing delays
For sellers who value speed, certainty, and convenience, a cash offer often makes more financial sense than listing.

Q: How do you determine the price you offer on my house?
We evaluate your home using real market data and the condition of the property.
When determining an offer, we look at:
- The location of the property in Southwest Michigan
- The current condition of the house
- Repairs or updates needed
- Recent comparable home sales in the area
Using this information, we calculate a price that works for both you and us — with no obligation to accept.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions when working with you?
No — there are zero fees, commissions, or hidden costs.
Unlike selling with a real estate agent, you won’t pay:
- Agent commissions
- Listing fees
- Marketing costs
- Closing fees (in many cases, we cover them)
What we offer is what you receive at closing. Simple and transparent.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list houses — we buy houses.
Agents:
- List your home on the MLS
- Require showings and inspections
- Take 3–6% in commissions
- Often take 6–12 months to sell
We:
- Buy your house directly
- Pay cash
- Buy as-is
- Close in days or weeks — your choice
If you need speed and certainty, selling to a cash buyer is often the better option.
Q: Can I sell my house as-is?
Yes — we buy houses completely as-is.
You don’t need to:
- Make repairs
- Clean out the property
- Fix code violations
- Update outdated features
Whether your house needs minor cosmetic work or major repairs, we’ll take care of it after closing.
Q: What if my house needs major repairs or renovations?
That’s not a problem — we specialize in distressed and fixer-upper properties.
We regularly buy houses with:
- Foundation issues
- Roof damage
- Water or mold problems
- Fire damage
- Outdated interiors
You won’t be required to fix anything before selling.
Q: Can you buy my house if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure?
Yes — we often help homeowners avoid foreclosure by selling quickly.
If you’re:
- Behind on mortgage payments
- Facing foreclosure
- Dealing with financial hardship
Selling your house for cash may help you stop the foreclosure process and move forward without further damage to your credit.
Q: Can you buy inherited or probate houses?
Yes — we buy inherited and probate properties in Southwest Michigan.
If you’ve inherited a house you don’t want to keep or maintain, we can help you sell quickly without repairs, clean-outs, or long delays. We also work with probate attorneys and estates when needed.
Q: What if my house has liens, back taxes, or other issues?
In many cases, we can still buy your house.
We regularly help sellers with:
- Property tax liens
- Utility liens
- Code enforcement violations
- Title issues
These issues are typically handled during the closing process so you don’t have to navigate them alone.
Q: How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days — or on your timeline.
Because we buy with cash, there are:
- No bank approvals
- No financing delays
- No waiting on appraisals
You choose the closing date that works best for you.
Q: What happens after I submit the form?
We’ll review your information and reach out to learn more — no pressure.
After you submit the form:
- We review your property details
- We may ask a few questions or schedule a quick walkthrough
- You receive a fair, no-obligation cash offer
You’re always in control of whether you move forward.
Q: Is there any obligation to accept your offer?
No — there is absolutely no obligation.
Submitting your information does not commit you to anything. You can:
- Review the offer
- Ask questions
- Take time to decide
We won’t pressure or harass you — the decision is always yours.
Q: Do you buy houses in my area?
Yes — we buy houses throughout Southwest Michigan.
We purchase homes in:
- Cities
- Small towns
- Rural areas
If your house is located anywhere in Southwest Michigan, there’s a good chance we can help.

Because it’s faster, simpler, and more predictable.

- Speed
- Certainty
- No repairs
- No fees
- No stress
