Sell a House in Disrepair in Ferndale, MI

That's right. We buy houses in as-is condition and do all the repairs ourselves after closing. You won't be asked to fix anything, clean, or even haul away unwanted items.

Your offer reflects the home's condition and the cost of the work it needs. But we base it on real local sales of similar homes, not lowball formulas. A regular sale costs you repairs, agent commissions, holding costs, and months of stress. Once you subtract all of that, many sellers find a fast cash sale comes out very competitive.

Yes. Fire, smoke, flood, and water damage are some of the most common problems we buy. These homes are nearly impossible to sell to buyers who need a loan. That's exactly where a cash buyer helps most.

We often buy homes with open violations and blight tickets in Detroit and nearby cities. We'll work through the title and city items with you as part of closing.

Often within 7 days once you accept the offer and the title is clear. If you need more time to move out or make plans, you pick the closing date.

As of July 2026, the typical middle-tier Ferndale home is worth about $254,401 per the Zillow Home Value Index — down 1.4% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Ferndale sale price is running about $260,882. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Downtown Ferndale, West Ferndale and 9 Mile corridor and other pockets of Ferndale. When we price a house that needs work, we work from recent sales near your address and its true condition, not the citywide average.

On a listed Ferndale sale near the typical home value of $254,401, plan on roughly $12,700–$15,300 in agent commission (5–6%), about $2,190 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.

All of them. In Ferndale that regularly includes early-1900s bungalows, brick tudors, two-story older homes, tenant-occupied rentals, multi-family flats — plus homes with roof, foundation, plumbing, or fire and water damage. Open code violations or an inspection list from the city don't stop us either. We buy as-is anywhere in Oakland County, and you never repair or clean out a thing.

All of them. That includes Downtown Ferndale, West Ferndale, 9 Mile corridor, Woodward Heights and Wilson Park area — and every other street in Ferndale. If the property is anywhere in Oakland County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

Yes. Ferndale's charming early-1900s bungalows near 9 Mile and Woodward are full of character, but they often come with older roofs, basements, and mechanicals. We buy them as-is, so you won't have to touch the foundation, electrical, or plumbing. We price the home on its current condition and take on the work ourselves.

We buy rental properties throughout Ferndale, including West Ferndale, whether vacant or tenant-occupied. You can exit without prepping the unit or waiting out a lease. We'll settle rent and the security deposit through closing, so the handoff is clean for everyone.
