Detroit is our busiest market, and it is the one we know best. We buy houses across Wayne County, from Brightmoor and Bagley to Chalfonte, East English Village, Grandmont-Rosedale, Jefferson Chalmers and the neighborhoods most retail buyers will not touch. If your house needs a roof, has open code violations, has been sitting vacant, or has a tenant who stopped paying, none of that stops us.

Wayne County tax foreclosure moves fast

Michigan's forfeiture and foreclosure calendar runs on hard March deadlines. Once a property is forfeited for unpaid taxes, you have a limited window before title is lost outright, and the equity goes with it. If you are anywhere in that process, the worst thing you can do is wait.

Vacant and boarded is normal here

We are not put off by a boarded house, missing copper, fire damage or a rehab someone abandoned halfway. We have bought all of it. You do not need to clean it, empty it, or fix a single thing.

Tenants stay your tenants until closing

Occupied rentals, month-to-month, non-paying tenants, or a house you inherited with someone living in it. We take it as it stands. You do not have to run an eviction before you sell.

Cash means cash

Our offers do not depend on a bank, an appraisal, or a buyer's financing falling through two weeks before closing. That is the whole reason a cash sale closes in 14 days and a listed sale often does not close at all.

How Selling Your Detroit House to Us Works

Tell us about the house through the form on this page or by phone. Vacant, occupied, inherited, behind on taxes: say so up front, none of it changes whether we can buy it.

We look at it. If you are there we walk through together; if it is vacant or you live out of state, a key, a lockbox or a few phone photos are enough.

You get a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. It is built from what comparable Detroit houses near yours have sold for recently, minus what the repairs will really cost. We show you the numbers if you want to see them.

A local title company opens the file. They run the title search and pay off anything owed against the house out of the sale: the mortgage, back taxes, water bills, liens.

You choose the closing date. Sign at the title office or with a mobile notary wherever you are, and the money is wired to you the same day.

What You Do Not Have to Deal With

Repairs, clean-outs and showings. Agent commissions and listing fees. Waiting on a buyer's mortgage approval, or an appraisal coming in low a week before closing. Detroit Water and Sewerage bills, blight tickets and back taxes are paid off at closing out of the purchase price, so you never need to bring money to the table to sell.

Many older Detroit houses cannot pass the inspection an FHA or conventional lender requires, which is why so many listed sales fall apart. A cash sale has no lender, so condition cannot sink it.

Common Questions

How fast can you close on a house in Detroit?
As little as 14 days from the day you accept, because we pay cash and there is no lender, appraisal or loan underwriting in the way. If you need longer, you set the date. We have closed in 10 days and we have waited 90 days for a seller who needed to find somewhere to move.
Will you buy a house with unpaid Wayne County property taxes?
Yes. Back taxes, water bills and code violations are handled at closing out of the purchase price. You do not need to bring money to the table or clear anything before you sell. The one thing that matters is timing, because once a property is foreclosed for taxes the opportunity is gone.
Do you buy vacant or fire damaged houses in Detroit?
Yes, and we buy a lot of them. Fire damage, water damage, foundation problems, a collapsed roof, stripped plumbing or a house that has been open to the weather for years. We price the repairs into the offer rather than asking you to make them.
What if the house still has a tenant in it?
We buy occupied properties routinely, including tenants who have stopped paying. You do not need to file an eviction or get the property empty first. That becomes our problem the day we close.
Can you buy a Detroit house that is still in probate?
Yes. The personal representative of the estate can sell, and we work with the estate's attorney and the probate timeline. Heirs who live out of state never need to travel to Detroit to close.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at what similar houses within about a mile of yours have sold for in the last few months, then subtract the real cost of the repairs and the costs of holding and reselling it. You can see the comparable sales we used.
Do I have to live in Michigan to sell?
No. Many of the Detroit houses we buy belong to owners who moved away or inherited from out of state. Everything can be signed remotely with a mobile notary.
