Median recorded sale prices across our Michigan markets run from $155,000 in Detroit to $230,000 in Grand Rapids. Same state, and roughly 48% apart — which is why we price by ZIP rather than by state.

Why we pay cash in Michigan

We buy, hold and resell these properties ourselves — we are the buyer named on the contract. Our offer is based on what the property is worth to us after repairs — and it means we can close without a lender. Read how the offer is calculated before you talk to anyone.

How a closing actually works in Michigan

Michigan closings are typically handled by a title company. The wrinkle worth knowing is that taxable value uncaps on transfer, so the buyer's tax bill will not match the one on your statement — and in Detroit specifically, city rental certification and any open blight tickets have to be cleared before a file closes.

On our side the sequence is the same every time: title search, payoff figures ordered on any existing mortgage, liens and municipal balances identified, then funds and deed recorded. Nothing about a cash sale skips title work — what it skips is the lender, the appraisal and the financing contingency, which is where most retail contracts on Detroit houses actually die.

General information about how these transactions typically proceed, not legal or tax advice. Your closing agent or attorney is the authority on your specific file.

The process is the same in every Michigan market

The three steps, the cash-offer versus listing comparison, the three-day right to cancel and the four-line math behind the number are all on how it works — kept in one place rather than repeated on every page. What differs by market is the data, and that is on each city page above.
