Detroit's housing market moves fast — and so do we. Whether your property is in Corktown, Midtown, or the East Side, we buy Detroit homes as-is for cash, in any condition. No repairs, no commissions, no waiting.
In Detroit, a cash sale typically closes in 7–14 days. Traditional agent sales in Detroit average 45–75 days on market plus 30–45 days to close — a total of 75–120 days. Detroit has one of the highest rates of cash home sales in Michigan, driven by the high volume of distressed, inherited, and investor-owned properties. Cash buyers are the most practical exit path for most Detroit sellers.
Written offer in 24 hours. Close in 7 days or on your schedule. No fees, no repairs.
Detroit carries the highest property tax rates of any major Michigan city. Many Detroit homeowners fall into the property tax foreclosure pipeline — Wayne County processes thousands of tax foreclosures annually. If you're behind on property taxes, selling to a cash buyer is often the fastest way out: we pay off tax liens at closing from the sale proceeds, preventing the property from going to auction. You walk away with remaining equity instead of losing everything to the county.
We purchase properties throughout Detroit: established corridors like Corktown, Midtown, and East English Village; transitioning neighborhoods like Woodbridge and North Corktown; and distressed areas including Brightmoor, Osborn, and the far East Side. No neighborhood is too challenging. We evaluate each property individually — neighborhood alone does not disqualify a home from our consideration.
Detroit homes often have deferred maintenance challenges unique to the local market: older electrical systems, furnace age, basement water intrusion, and in some cases blight-adjacent conditions. We factor all of this into our offer. You do not need to remediate, secure, or upgrade the property before selling. Leave it exactly as it is — belongings and all.
Detroit properties frequently carry Wayne County tax liens, Detroit Building, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED) violations, or other title encumbrances. Our team works with local title companies experienced in Wayne County property issues. We identify and resolve these at closing — you don't need to clear them yourself before the sale.
