Selling a home in Detroit
Detroit is Michigan's largest city and the seat of Wayne County. Much of its housing is older than in the suburbs — many neighborhoods were built in the early and mid-1900s, with brick bungalows, colonials, Tudors and two-family flats that are now close to a century old.
Older Detroit homes often have character and solid construction, but they can also need major work: aging roofs and masonry, original plumbing and electrical, older boilers, basement water or a full interior update. If you would rather not take on those projects before selling, we can review your Detroit property and make an as-is cash offer.
Detroit properties we buy
- Brick bungalows, colonials and older single-family homes
- Two-family flats and small multi-family properties
- Rental properties, with or without tenants
- Inherited and estate homes
- Vacant houses and homes that need major repairs
Common reasons Detroit homeowners call us
A family home that was inherited. Many Detroit houses have passed down through generations, and heirs do not always live nearby. Estates for Detroit residents are handled by the Wayne County Probate Court, and we can coordinate with your attorney. See selling an inherited house.
A rental that has become hard to manage. Detroit has its own rental registration and compliance requirements for landlords, and older rental homes can need frequent repairs. If you are ready to stop being a landlord, we can review the property with or without tenants in place. See selling a rental property.
Repairs that are more than you want to take on. From roofs and masonry to boilers and basements, we buy homes that need work. See selling a house that needs repairs.
Things to know about selling in Detroit
Requirements for property sales and rentals in Detroit can differ from the suburbs and change over time. If there are past-due property taxes, water bills or other balances, they are typically identified by the title company and paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We will walk through anything that applies to your property before you decide. For legal questions about your situation, please consult a Michigan attorney.
