Sell Your House Fast in Sterling Heights, MI. Skip the Showings, Keep the Date Flexible.

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

Agent commission is negotiable and depends on the agent, and it is usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price. That is what many realtor fees look like on a listing, and the listing agent commission is only part of the cost of selling on the open market. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission when you sell your house directly to us.

You can sell by owner, which means handling the paperwork, buyer showings and negotiation yourself, or sell directly to a cash buyer. With a direct sale to Eagle there is no buyer's agent or listing agent on our side to pay. At Eagle, we send a written offer within one business day if the numbers work, and a title or escrow company handles the closing.

Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on title, liens, mortgage payoffs and the closing provider, and we do not guarantee a date.

No. We buy houses as-is, including ones that need major repairs, and leave the work to us. We make an offer only when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the condition, so the cost of repairs comes off the price.

Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on. If you own the land and the home together, send us the address and we will review it.

Often, yes. You do not need to wait for the lease to end. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease details with the address.

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. Anyone whose signature or authorization is required also needs to sign the purchase agreement, and you can have your own attorney or realtor review it.

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. 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.
