Sell a House in Disrepair in Southgate, 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 Southgate home is worth about $197,960 per the Zillow Home Value Index — up 2.7% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Southgate sale price is running about $217,783. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Eureka Road corridor, Trenton Road area and Allen Road area and other pockets of Southgate. 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 Southgate sale near the typical home value of $197,960, plan on roughly $9,900–$11,900 in agent commission (5–6%), about $1,700 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 Southgate that regularly includes 1950s and 60s ranch homes, cape cod homes, brick bungalows, 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 Eureka Road corridor, Trenton Road area, Allen Road area, Pennsylvania Road area and Market Square area — and every other street in Southgate. If the property is anywhere in Wayne County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

Yes. We're the direct buyer. There's no agent, no listing, and no MLS involved. You avoid commissions entirely and skip the showings and open houses. We handle the paperwork and standard closing costs. You just get a cash offer and a closing date you choose.

Definitely. Southgate's 1950s and 60s ranches and Cape Cods near the Eureka Road, Trenton Road, and Allen Road corridors are exactly what we buy as-is. You don't need to make repairs, updates, or cleanup.
