How does the process work when I sell my house to Werner Properties?
We make it simple: tell us about your property, we’ll review the details and make a fair cash offer—no repairs, fees, or obligations. If you accept, we close on your timeline, often in as little as 7 days.
Do I need to clean or fix anything before selling?
Not at all. We buy houses as-is, whether they need major repairs, are full of stuff, or even have code violations.
What types of homes do you buy?
We buy houses, duplexes, inherited properties, rentals with tenants, and more—any condition, any situation, anywhere in Southwest Michigan.
What areas in Michigan do you serve?
We buy houses in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Holland, and all surrounding areas in Southwest Michigan.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. We’re not agents—we’re direct buyers. That means no commissions, no closing costs, and no hidden fees.
How fast can you close?
Typically within 7 to 14 days. But we can work around your schedule—fast or flexible, it's up to you.
What if I’m behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure?
We can still help. We’ve worked with homeowners in pre-foreclosure, and we may be able to stop the process before it’s too late.
Is there any obligation after I get a cash offer?
None at all. Our offers are free, fair, and with no pressure. You decide if it’s right for you.
What makes Werner Properties different from other cash buyers?
We’re locally owned and operated in Michigan. No out-of-state investors or national chains. We offer personal service, honesty, and fast results.
How do I get started?
Click “Get My Cash Offer” and fill out a short form—or just call us. We’ll take care of the rest.
What if my home has tenants or is currently rented?
That’s not a problem. We buy tenant-occupied properties and can work with you to navigate leases or occupancy issues.
Can you buy houses with liens, tax issues, or title problems?
Yes. We’re experienced in handling title issues, back taxes, probate, and even large liens. We work with local title companies to resolve problems before closing.
Do I need to be present at closing?
No. Many of our sellers close remotely through a secure title company. If you’re out of state or unavailable, we’ll work around your situation.
What if the property is inherited or in probate?
We specialize in inherited homes and probate sales. We can help you through the process and purchase the home even if the estate is still being settled.
Can I sell if I live out of state?
Yes! Many of our sellers live outside Michigan. You can complete the process remotely—we’ll handle everything locally for you.
Will you still buy my house if I owe more than it’s worth?
Possibly. We’ll evaluate your situation and let you know your options. In some cases, we can work with lenders or help with a short sale.
Do you make lowball offers?
No. Our offers are based on real market data, recent sales, and the condition of the property. We aim to make offers that are fair to both sides, without games.
What’s the difference between you and listing with an agent?
Agents list your home and charge commissions. We buy your home directly, without showings, inspections, or waiting. You don’t need to make repairs or pay closing costs.
What happens after I accept the offer?
We’ll open escrow with a local title company, handle all documents, and prepare for closing on your schedule. You’ll get your cash at closing—usually within days.
Is this a good option if I need to sell quickly due to divorce, job change, or financial stress?
Yes. We’re here to help during life transitions. Our process is private, fast, and flexible—so you can move forward on your own terms.
