Property taxes, vacancy rate insurance, utilities kept on so pipes do not freeze, and a yard the city will cite you for. A vacant house in metro Detroit quietly costs thousands a year while it slowly deteriorates. We buy empty houses as they sit and end the drain in one closing.
Nobody notices the roof leak in an empty house until the ceiling is down. Frozen pipes, mold behind closed doors, and break-ins that strip the copper are all standard vacant house stories in southeast Michigan, and insurers know it, which is why vacancy coverage costs more and covers less. Every season the house sits, the eventual sale price drops.
Metro Detroit communities cite vacant properties for grass, snow, and blight, and several require vacant property registration with escalating fees. Those tickets and liens follow the house, but they do not stop a sale to us. Whatever is owed gets settled out of closing proceeds by the title company, and the city becomes our problem.
One walkthrough, one written cash offer, one closing at a licensed title company, on your schedule even if you live out of state. No cleaning out the house, no re-listing it every spring, no more months of paying for a building you never visit.
Yes. We handle the walkthrough with a lockbox or a local contact, you sign with a remote notary, and your proceeds are wired. Selling a Michigan house from Florida or Arizona is something we do regularly.
Yes. Stripped plumbing and electrical, broken windows, and break-in damage are all things we price and repair as part of the renovation. The house does not need to be secured or fixed before we look at it.
No. Delinquent taxes, water bills, and municipal fines are paid out of your proceeds at closing through the title company. As long as the house is worth more than what is owed against it, you walk away with the difference and a clean break.
Tell us about the house and we will call with a cash offer, usually within 24 hours. No fees, no repairs, no obligation.
