Sell a House for Retirement or Downsizing in Farmington Hills, MI

Often yes. Many downsizing sellers need a short overlap to line up their next home. Ask us about staying after closing, and we'll try to fit your timeline.

No. We buy as-is and base our offer on the home's value as it is now, plus local sales of similar homes. There's no need to fix up a home you're leaving.

Leave it. We handle the full clean-out after closing, so you only pack the belongings you actually want to bring with you.

We can close in as little as 7 days. Or we can set the closing weeks out to match your new home or community move-in date.

None. There are no agent commissions and no hidden costs. We cover the usual closing costs, so the number we agree on is what funds your next chapter.

As of July 2026, the typical middle-tier Farmington Hills home is worth about $395,176 per the Zillow Home Value Index — up 2.5% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Farmington Hills sale price is running about $370,852. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Grand River corridor, Halsted Road area and Twelve Mile area and other pockets of Farmington Hills. When we price a home, we work from recent sales near your address and its true condition, not the citywide average.

On a listed Farmington Hills sale near the typical home value of $395,176, plan on roughly $19,800–$23,700 in agent commission (5–6%), about $3,400 in Michigan transfer tax ($3.75 state + $0.55 Oakland County per $500 of price), plus owner's title insurance, any repair credits from the buyer's inspection, and the carrying costs while it sits on the market. When we buy directly there's no commission and we cover the standard closing costs — you still pay the state and county transfer tax as the seller, but the written offer is otherwise what you keep, less your mortgage payoff and prorated taxes.

Yes. You choose the closing date, and if the new place isn't ready we can often arrange a short post-closing occupancy so you move once, not twice.

All of them. That includes Grand River corridor, Halsted Road area, Twelve Mile area, Orchard Lake Road area and Heritage Park area — and every other street in Farmington Hills. If the property is anywhere in Oakland County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

Definitely. We often buy inherited Farmington Hills homes as-is. That includes ones near Heritage Park or Orchard Lake Road that haven't been updated in years. We can work with the Oakland County Probate Court and your attorney. So the family avoids repairs and showings.
