More than the price suggests. A traditional sale usually means 5 to 6 percent in agent commissions, plus Michigan's transfer tax of $8.60 per $1,000, paid by the seller. Add owner's title insurance and closing fees. Even on an affordable River Rouge home, those costs reach into the thousands. Selling to us removes them. There are no commissions, no repairs, and no fees, and we cover the standard closing costs. The written cash offer is exactly what you keep.

Just a handful. Michigan law requires a Seller's Disclosure Statement, given to the buyer before a binding agreement under MCL 565.957. Because most River Rouge homes were built well before 1978, the federal lead-based paint disclosure usually applies. If a homeowners association covers your home, you will add its documents. You will also want a photo ID and proof you own the home, like the deed or a tax bill. A cash, as-is sale keeps it simple, and we guide you through each step near West Jefferson or the riverfront.

Likely not. If the River Rouge home was your main home for at least two of the last five years, the federal capital gains exclusion may apply. It shields up to $250,000 in profit for a single seller and up to $500,000 for a married couple. Sales in this low-priced part of Wayne County almost always fall under those limits, so most owners owe nothing. If your gain is larger, Michigan's 4.25 percent income tax may apply above the exclusion. Tax situations vary, so check with a tax professional before you sell.
