Sell Your Kentwood House Fast. As Is, With Your Closing Date.

We send a written offer within one business day of getting your address and details. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You choose the closing date that works for you.

Not for us. We buy houses as they are, including ones with worn roofs, old systems or deferred maintenance. Repairs are priced into the offer, and belongings can often be left behind; we agree on that in writing before closing.

It can be, if you value speed and certainty over the highest possible price. A cash offer usually comes in below what a fully repaired house might fetch on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs. In return you skip showings and repairs. Compare it with a listing before you decide.

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 Kentwood: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.

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.

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. Our Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Yes, when you own the land under it. We buy mobile homes only with the land, so a home in a park or on a rented lot does not qualify. If you are unsure which applies, send us the address and we will tell you.

We start with what the house would be worth in good condition, subtract the work it needs and the costs of reselling it, and keep a margin. The offer is in writing. If you have other offers or want an agent to check the math, that is a sensible thing to do.

Tell us what you plan to leave. Furniture and belongings can often stay, and we agree on this in writing before closing so nothing is a surprise.

A Michigan title company or closing attorney usually runs the closing. It checks the title, holds the funds and pays off any mortgage before sending you the rest. You can have your own attorney review the paperwork.

We buy houses across Kentwood and the rest of Kent County. The one exception is mobile homes, which we buy only when you own the land. Send the address and we will confirm.
