Our Process

• Step 1 - Contact us by phone or email (see bottom page). . Give us the address of the property. Your name and contact information. A basic idea of condition of the property. Photos are helpful but by no means required.

• Step 2 - I will visit the property at a time convenient for you.. If you are long distance leaving a key with a friend is fine. You don't need to be there. We are more than happy to work on your time frame and go as fast or slow as you desire.

• Step 3 - I will make my best cash offer on the property within 24 hours of viewing it. If there are foundational issues or a major concern I may need to bring in my contractor for 2nd viewing at your convenience.

• Step 4 - If the offer is accepted a purchase contract will be signed. I use the exact same purchase contact all the local realtors use. The contract is turned into Attorney’s Title (ATA) or we can use title company of your choosing.. .They will create a warranty deed and produce title insurance and handle the transfer of funds. It takes about 3 to 7 days to create and process paperwork.

• Step 5 - We will meet at the title company to sign paper work. If you are long distance its possible to hire a mobile notary to come to your home and complete paperwork. .. Title company will either provide a cashiers check or a wire transfer. I only note this as we had someone upset as they were expecting 61,000 in 20.00 bills as contract said cash!. Cash is a real estate term used to mean no financing, the buyer is using existing funds to pay for the transaction.

  Overall, in 7 to 10 days total you be paid. Simple, quick, and never any cost to you!!!!!!

  Why Should You Sell to US Direct?

We will save you money and time.

Going thru a realtor - will cost you 8.5 to 15.5 percent of sale price in fees. . Agents charge 6 to 7 percent of sale price in commissions.. Tittle companies charge the seller for title insurance, property transfer taxes, and fees to create the deed (about 2.5 percent). Most buyers today cant afford down payments plus closing costs and ask sellers to pay up to 6 percent Plus we save you a ton of hassle and time. Listing with an realtor could require you clean between showings, clean out the property , and keep buyers happy by negotiating every little detail.

Selling Directly to Us - We pay all costs out of our pocket and we will never ask you to clean out the property, make repairs,, and we will close transaction on your terms.. The offer you get is the amount you will get at closing. Only time you be charged anything at closing is if their are liens against the property. Most common liens are mortgages, back property taxes or unpaid water bills. We can close quick or we can give you all time you need to move, go thru your loved ones estate or think over your decision to sell.. Let's us know how you want transaction to go and we will make a fair cash offer to match those needs.

We buy property in any condition and in any location in Michigan.

Listing with Realtor - Outdated property and property needing major repairs can be hard to sell. In today’s economy a lot of people cant afford to pay cash, and banks wont loan on property in lesser condition.. A lot of first time home buyers, and middle class individuals want to use government programs that offer down payment assistance and lower interest rates. These loans require the home to meet all kinds of over regulated safety standards (like no peeling paint on windows 30 ft in air). . This can add days on the market and make the selling process harder and very frustrating..

Selling directly to Us - I cant say condition and location don't effect an offer, but we have the experience and the cash needed to make any property a good investment. We flip homes that are simply outdated that need carpet and paint, or older homes needing major repairs. If it can be fixed we will buy it. Property can be in a cutie little town, in middle of no where , in the inner city or by a factory. If its zoned residential we will buy it.

Get your money in 14 days or less.

Going thru a realtor - Most buyers going thru realtors are getting a mortgage. Banks need time to complete appraisals, and evaluate the condition, and value of the property. This can take 30 to 45 days, and if bank at all unhappy they can take a month to tell you they wont fund the deal, and your back to finding another buyer. Buyers will want 10 days to inspect the property and some will back out over small issues or ask you to make repairs. Deals fall apart all the time as buyers lose jobs, credit score drops or simply gets cold feet. It can take 90 to 180 days to sell a property thru a realtor and process can be frustrating and time consuming.

Selling Property Directly to Us - We close within 14 days of signed offer. Our goal is 7 days but delays can happen if the title company is backed up. Our offers are backed by a non refundable cash deposit held by title company. We never require repairs or for you to clean out the property. Our process is simple and stress free. I am not an inexperienced home buyer, but someone with 20 years real estate experience.

We end blight and create affordable housing

• Our mission statement is based on ending blight and creating affordable lower middle class and middle class housing. Almost all our property we resell is bought thru government loan programs that are income based. Our buyers are military families or vets on VA programs. Also Teachers, factory workers, and young couples just starting out in life. .

We are different than most websites

• We repair and resell 100 percent of homes we buy. We don't low ball the elderly and financially desperate so we can make a quick buck selling to other investors. We make fair market value offers on distressed property and then put a lot money into repairs. On property in better shape that can be financed we might not able to offer as much as homeowner but we can save you a ton of time, fees, and stress

  How much will I get for my property?

  How will this amount compare to listing with realtor?

• This answer depends on a lot of factors. We will come out to property and determine what the home would be worth if it were in top level condition and fully updated. Also meeting government loan requirements, and state safety codes.. We will then determine the cost to bring it to this level, and our lowest profit needed to make the project worth our time. On homes that are needing major repairs we can be very competitive with a realtor listing on Mls (we buy off MLS all the time). You might even get more as we pay all the fees. and there are no realtor costs. . On property that is in good shape, but very outdated (retro 1970) with a dated mechanical system the same holds true. On property that meets the strict mortgage requirements for government loans, and only needs minor work its harder to provide equal value. I may not be able to pay as much as a homeowner looking for some sweat equity and you can balance the extra 5 k or 10 k against the hassle and time of selling a home.. On property that is move in ready and fully updated I cant come close to competing. You simply be selling for 70 percent of market value as you need cash fast or don't want the hassle of listing the home. We don't get to many of these calls for a good reason.

  Overall, at time of our phone consultation we can talk over your expectations, how competitive I think I can be, and what to expect before taking up to much of your time.

What do you do with property you buy, and what repairs do you make to the property?

We don't do rentals and as previously stated we are not whole sellers. We repair the home to meet the requirements of government loan programs and then sell the homes to middle class families and first time home buyers that qualify for these programs. This often requires rewiring homes, all new plumbing, new furnaces, fresh paint and carpet, repairing drywall, new roofs, foundation repairs, and cosmetic work like new kitchens and bathrooms.. We spend anywhere between 25,000 and 85,000 into properties we buy as a general rule.. Even on houses in good shape its hard to not spend 15K on cosmetics and minor repairs. .

• What type of property are you looking to buy and in what location.

We are looking mainly for single family homes built between 1850 and 1980.of all shapes and sizes. We don't offer on manufactured homes, or trailers. We do buy multi family homes and condos on a case by case basis but not something we can be highly competitive on. As for location I have crews that work an hour radius in any direction of Lansing, Battle Creek, Midland, Port Huron and Grand Rapids. Water front property in Northern Michigan and in UP is highly desired but due to remote nature might take me bit longer to get out there. Property in other areas we offer on but again might take some time to service you with an offer.
