Sell Your House Fast in Farmington Hills, MI. Water Damage, Old Systems or Tenants in Place.

It depends on how you sell. With an agent, a seller usually pays the listing agent and often the buyer's agent, usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price in total, plus closing costs and any repairs a buyer asks for. On a direct sale to Eagle there is no agent commission. Your mortgage payoff and any liens are paid from your proceeds in either case, so ask for a written settlement statement before closing.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Farmington Hills: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.

We can look at houses with fire, smoke or water damage and make an offer in the current condition if the numbers work. Tell us what happened, what has been repaired and whether an insurance claim is open. Photos help. A cash offer reflects the damage, so it is usually lower than the price of a fully repaired house.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and Michigan law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Michigan should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. Michigan sellers commonly complete a Seller Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Michigan can confirm which disclosures apply.

If your home is in an association, balances such as dues or assessments are usually settled from the sale proceeds at closing. A title or escrow company can usually request a payoff statement from the association. Check your governing documents or ask the association whether any approval is needed. Tell us early if you know of a special assessment or unpaid dues.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the home and the land, send us the address and we will take a look.

At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. A spouse, relative or attorney can make the first contact for you.

Yes, you can sign in person or remotely, as a title or escrow company arranges. Send us the address and tell us where you will be, and we can plan the timeline around it.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Michigan, a foreclosure generally proceeds by notice and sale (foreclosure by advertisement) rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Michigan can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
