You don’t need to worry about repairs.
At “We Buy Houses in Metro Detroit“, we purchase homes as-is. This means we’ll buy your property in its current condition, regardless of the repairs it needs.

No, there are no fees or commissions when you sell to us.
Unlike traditional real estate agents who charge commissions and closing fees, we cover all costs. The cash offer we make is the amount you’ll walk away with. There are no hidden fees or deductions—what you see is what you get.
5. How long does it take to sell my house?
We understand that sometimes you need to sell fast. Once you contact us, we can often make an offer within 24-48 hours. After that, closing can happen in as little as seven days, or we can work around your preferred timeline. The process is quick and designed to accommodate your needs.
6. Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at We Buy Houses in Metro Detroit, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
7. Will you make a fair offer?
We pride ourselves on offering fair, competitive cash offers based on the current market value of your home and its condition. Unlike some companies, our offers are transparent, and we explain how we arrive at the final amount. Our goal is to create a win-win solution for both parties, allowing you to sell quickly while ensuring you get a fair price.
8. How do you determine the price for my house?
We base our offer on the after-repair value (ARV) of your home, subtracting repair and selling costs, and adding a small profit margin.
9. Is there any obligation when I request an offer?
There is absolutely no obligation.
Requesting a cash offer from us is completely risk-free. We understand you might just be exploring your options, so if our offer doesn’t work for you, there’s no pressure to move forward. You’re free to take your time to make the best decision for your situation.
