Sell a House in Disrepair in Garden City, 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 Garden City home is worth about $207,556 per the Zillow Home Value Index — up 2.7% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Garden City sale price is running about $227,650. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Ford Road corridor, Middlebelt Road area and Cherry Hill area and other pockets of Garden City. 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 Garden City sale near the typical home value of $207,556, plan on roughly $10,400–$12,500 in agent commission (5–6%), about $1,780 in Michigan transfer tax ($3.75 state + $0.55 Wayne 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 Garden City that regularly includes postwar ranch homes, brick bungalows, homes on deep garden lots, downsizing and estate homes, inherited probate homes — 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 Wayne County, and you never repair or clean out a thing.

All of them. That includes Ford Road corridor, Middlebelt Road area, Cherry Hill area, Maplewood area and Garden City Park area — and every other street in Garden City. If the property is anywhere in Wayne County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

Yes. Garden City's postwar ranches and bungalows on their signature deep lots near Ford Road, Middlebelt, and Cherry Hill are exactly what we buy as-is. That includes homes that need kitchens, baths, or systems updated. You don't need to make repairs, pass inspections, or clean up.

Absolutely. We can close fast or set a later date. That way your sale lines up with buying or moving into your next place. It helps you avoid two mortgages or a double move. You control the timeline.
