Common Questions
Do you actually close with cash?
Yes. When we say cash offer, we mean the sale does not depend on a traditional buyer’s mortgage approval. Funds are handled properly through the title company by bank check or wire.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at the property condition, local market value, repairs needed, and the best exit strategy. Then we explain the offer clearly so you know how we got to the number.
Am I required to accept the offer?
No. The offer is completely no-obligation. You can review it, ask questions, compare your options, and decide what feels right for you without any pressure.
First, Know This: You’re In Control.
This isn’t just a transaction to me. It’s a relationship.
Reaching out to Michigan House Partner does not mean you have to sell your house. It simply gives you a clear option. Peggy and the Michigan House Partner team will review your property, understand your situation, and explain what they can offer.
From there, you decide what works best for you. No pressure. No sales pitch. No obligation.
“We All Win, Or Nobody Wins.”

Cash Offer Questions
Do you actually close with cash?
Yes. When we say cash offer, we mean the sale does not depend on a traditional buyer’s mortgage approval. At closing, funds are handled properly through the title company by bank check or wire. Everything is documented and handled professionally.
For legal and safety reasons, cash closings are handled through proper title company procedures, not physical cash handed over outside of closing.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at the property condition, local market value, repairs needed, holding costs, closing costs, and the best exit strategy for that specific property. Then we explain the offer clearly so you know how we got to the number.
Peggy’s approach is simple: if the offer works for both sides, great. If it does not, there is no pressure.
Will you low-ball me?
Michigan House Partner is not built around pressuring homeowners with unfair offers. Peggy’s belief is “We All Win, Or Nobody Wins.” The goal is to create a solution that makes sense for the seller and still allows the property to be improved or resold responsibly.
Am I required to accept the offer?
No. The offer is completely no-obligation. You can review it, ask questions, compare your options, and decide what feels right for you.
How fast will I receive my offer?
In many cases, Michigan House Partner can provide an offer within 24 hours after reviewing the property details and understanding your situation. Some properties may require more review if there are title, repair, access, or legal complications.
As‑Is Selling Questions
Do I need to clean out the house before I sell?
Not at all. We know that clearing out a house can be incredibly overwhelming. You can take the items that matter to you and simply leave the rest behind. We will handle all the cleaning, clearing, and disposal so you can focus on moving forward.
Will you buy my house if it needs major repairs?
Absolutely. We buy homes in exactly the condition they are in right now. Whether the property needs a new roof, has foundation issues, or just requires some cosmetic updates, we take care of all the repairs after the sale is complete. You won't have to fix a single thing.
What if I have difficult tenants or hoarder conditions?
We understand these situations can be highly stressful and sensitive. We can purchase the property with tenants still in place, and we are very experienced in handling the complexities of a hoarder home. You won't have to deal with evictions, conflict, or cleanouts.
Are there any inspections or bank appraisals required?
Since we are cash buyers purchasing the home as-is, there are no stressful buyer inspections or formal bank appraisals. We make our own assessment of the property upfront. This ensures a fast, smooth process without any surprise repair demands or financing falling through at the last minute.
Timeline & Closing Questions
Submitting your property details takes less than 60 seconds. Our local team reviews your information immediately and reaches out within 24 hours to discuss your fair cash offer and next steps. From there, you are completely in control of the timeline.
How fast can we actually close?
We can move as quickly as the title company allows—typically within 7 to 14 days. If you need immediate relief from a property, we expedite the process to put cash in your hands as soon as legally possible.
What if I need more time to pack and move?
That is completely fine. You choose the exact closing date that works for your schedule. Whether you need to close next week, next month, or even longer to coordinate a move, we adjust to your timeline. We can even arrange post-occupancy agreements if you need the funds now but time to move later.
When do I actually get paid?
You get paid immediately at closing. A reputable, local title company handles the transaction and will wire the funds directly to your bank account or provide a cashier's check on the day of closing.
What happens after I accept your offer?
Once you accept the fair cash offer, we send a simple purchase agreement to a local, independent title company. They will reach out to you to verify details, conduct a quick title search, and coordinate the final closing date that you selected. There are no surprise inspections, appraisals, or bank delays.
Can I leave unwanted items behind?
Yes. When we say 'as-is,' we mean it. Take the items you want to keep and leave the rest behind. Whether it's old furniture, trash, or appliances, we will handle the clean-out and hauling after closing so you don't have to lift a finger.
ZERO SURPRISES
Fees, Commissions & Costs
Are there any real estate agent commissions?
Absolutely not. When you sell directly to us, there are no agents involved, which means zero commissions. You keep the full amount of our offer.
Do I have to pay closing costs?
In most cases, we cover all standard closing costs. The offer we make is exactly what you get at the closing table, minus any outstanding mortgage balances or property taxes you owe.
What about hidden fees or service charges?
There are no hidden fees, service charges, or surprise deductions. We believe in complete transparency from our very first conversation straight through to closing day.
Will I need to pay for repairs or appraisals?
No. We buy houses exactly as they are. You will not spend a single dime on repairs, cleaning, inspections, or appraisals.
Property Situation Questions
Please note: The information provided below is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. We strongly encourage sellers to consult with qualified attorneys, tax professionals, or financial advisors regarding their specific circumstances.
Can you buy my house if it is currently in probate?
Yes, we frequently purchase inherited properties that are going through the probate process. We can work with you and your attorney to navigate the timeline and finalize a cash offer once you have the legal authority to sell.
What if I am facing foreclosure?
We can help. If you reach out to us before the bank auction, we can often buy your house quickly and pay off the mortgage, potentially saving your credit from the severe impact of a completed foreclosure.
Do you buy properties with difficult or non-paying tenants?
Absolutely. You do not need to evict your tenants or deal with the stress of a contentious move-out. We can purchase the property with the tenants in place and assume the existing lease and tenant management responsibilities.
Can I sell my house if it has major structural issues or code violations?
Yes. We buy houses strictly 'as-is,' which means we take on all the repairs, code violations, and structural problems. You will not have to fix anything or pay out of pocket before closing.
What happens if there are liens or back taxes on the property?
We will work with a local title company to identify any outstanding liens, judgments, or back taxes. In most cases, these debts are paid off at closing directly from the proceeds of your sale, allowing you to walk away clear.
