What areas do you buy in?
The whole Milwaukee metro: the city, West Allis, Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Waukesha, the south shore suburbs, the North Shore — if it's in the metro, we'll look at it.
What if I have tenants?
Keep them or we'll deal with them — either way it's not your problem after closing. We've taken over properties with great tenants, terrible tenants, and squatters.
I owe more than the house is worth. Can you help?
Sometimes, via a short sale negotiated with your lender. It takes longer, but we've done them. Call us and we'll tell you honestly if it's viable.
There are liens on the property. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Liens get paid from the closing proceeds, and we'll show you the exact breakdown before you sign. Tax liens, judgments, HOA liens — we've handled them all.
Will you really buy my house as-is?
Yes. Don't repair anything, don't clean, don't haul junk. We factor condition into our offer and handle everything after closing.
Why shouldn't I just list with an agent?
If the house is in good shape and time is on your side, listing can make sense. But add up commissions, repairs, carrying costs, and months of uncertainty — for as-is houses, our offer often comes out ahead.
How do you determine your offer price?
We figure out what the house would sell for fixed up, subtract the renovation budget and our margin, and that's the offer. Happy to walk you through the comps — transparency beats salesmanship.
Can I stay in the house after closing for a bit?
Usually, yes. We can write a leaseback into the deal — a few weeks to a couple months — so you're not scrambling for your next place.
Is your offer actually cash?
Yes — we buy with our own funds, no lenders involved. No financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no last-minute surprises.
The city cited me for code violations. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Violations stay with the property and we clear them post-closing. No need to fix anything first.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. No agent commission, no closing costs on your side, no hidden charges. The offer is the amount you walk away with (minus any mortgage payoff or liens, itemized at closing).
Do I need to clean out the house?
Take what you want, leave the rest. We've cleared houses with forty years of belongings. One less thing for you to worry about.
We're going through a divorce and need to sell fast.
We'll work with both sides and your attorneys to get it done cleanly and quickly. One less battle to fight.
