Sell Your House Fast in Detroit

Back taxes get paid at closing from your sale proceeds; you do not need to bring cash to the table. The critical issue is timing: Wayne County's tax foreclosure calendar is strict, and once a property enters the redemption period, your options narrow quickly. Contact us as soon as you receive a county notice so we can evaluate the situation before the deadline.

Yes. We handle out-of-state inherited property sales regularly. We coordinate a property walkthrough locally, work with your probate attorney on the title transfer, and can facilitate a remote closing in most cases. You handle everything by phone, email, and overnight mail. No trip to Detroit required.

It complicates it, but it doesn't prevent it. DEGC liens and blight tickets attach to the property and must be resolved at closing, but they can typically be paid from the sale proceeds rather than upfront. We factor these into our offer so you know exactly what you'll net after all liens are cleared.

A land contract is a seller-financed arrangement where the seller holds the title until the buyer finishes paying. They're common in Detroit. If your property has an existing land contract that was never properly discharged, it creates a title issue that needs to be resolved before you can sell. We work with title attorneys who specialize in exactly this situation : it is not a dealbreaker, just something that needs to be addressed correctly.

Wayne County posted about 3.1% average value growth in 2026, but that number is heavily skewed by suburbs like Livonia and Northville where the market is much stronger. Detroit proper values in many residential neighborhoods are still well below $100,000, and the cost of maintaining a property while waiting for appreciation rarely pencils out. We can show you the realistic numbers for your specific address.

Any condition. We've purchased homes with missing copper, fire damage, squatter occupation, structural issues, and full gut-needed renovation requirements. We make our assessment based on what the property actually is, not what it could be. You don't clean, repair, or stage anything.

Yes, and this is one of the more common situations we deal with in Detroit. Vacant, compromised properties with security concerns are something we buy regularly. We will do our own assessment of the property's condition and make you an offer based on what is actually there. You do not need to clean it, board it up, or resolve the squatter situation before contacting us.

Ninety days is enough time to sell if you act now. Wayne County's tax foreclosure calendar is strict, but a cash sale can resolve the situation before the foreclosure completes. We can make an offer within 24 hours and close in as few as 10 days. The back taxes get paid from your proceeds at closing — you do not need to come up with the money first. Call us today.

It is possible, but the situation is more complex the longer you wait. City demolition orders do eventually make a property impossible to sell, so the time to act is now, not after the order is finalized. We buy properties with active code violations and blight tickets. The violations get resolved through the closing process. Call us today and tell us exactly what notices you have received.
