What We Buy in Detroit: Our Buy Box
Most companies that say we buy houses in Detroit have a narrow target: cheap, vacant, easy. Ours is wider, because we renovate and hold property here ourselves. If your house fits anywhere in this box, we will make a written offer on it.
- Any price point from $20,000 land bank adjacent houses to $400,000+ renovated neighborhoods
- Any condition: fire damage, water damage, code violations, full of belongings, or perfectly fine
- Any occupancy: vacant, owner occupied, or tenants in place (we honor leases)
- Any paperwork situation: probate in progress, back taxes, liens, BSEED cases, missing heirs at title
- All 139 square miles, east side to Southwest, no neighborhood excluded
That last line matters. Detroit is the most affordable big city market in America with a median sale price near $95,000, and plenty of buyers cherry pick three or four zip codes. We buy houses Detroit wide because we know the block by block values that out of town investors miss.

How to Vet Cash Home Buyers in Detroit
Detroit has more bandit signs and lowball text messages than any market in Michigan, so skepticism is healthy. Before you sign anything with any cash buyer, including us, check five things.
- Proof of funds. A real buyer shows a bank letter before you commit, not after.
- A title company closing. Money should move through a licensed Michigan title company, never directly between you and the buyer.
- Verifiable reviews. We carry 50+ verified Google reviews and BBB accreditation; ask any buyer for the same.
- A local footprint. Our office is at 21800 Haggerty Rd in Northville and we will meet you at the house.
- A written, no obligation offer. If a buyer pressures you to sign on the first call, hang up.
We wrote a full guide on how to tell good cash buying companies from bad ones, and our own process is documented step by step on the page that explains how our we buy houses Detroit process works.
What Do Cash Home Buyers in Detroit Actually Pay?
Here is the math no one publishes. A cash offer is built backwards from what your house will be worth repaired (the after repair value), minus the real cost of getting it there, minus the margin that keeps the business alive. In Detroit, where a renovation on a 1940s bungalow routinely runs $40,000 to $80,000, that gap between as is and repaired is bigger than in any suburb.
The honest comparison is not our offer versus the repaired value. It is our offer versus what you would actually net listing as is: agent commissions near 6 percent, months of taxes and insurance on a Detroit hold time of 58+ days, inspection renegotiations, and the very real chance an FHA buyer’s financing dies at the appraisal. On modest Detroit values those costs eat 15 to 25 percent of the price. We show you both columns side by side in writing, and our offer comes with zero fees, zero commissions, and the closing costs paid.
We do not just buy houses, we restore them. The renovation above is our own work, and it is why we can pay more than wholesalers who only flip contracts: there is no middleman fee between you and the end buyer, because we are the end buyer.
Eric and Carson, the owners, personally walk every Detroit house Offer Now Michigan buys. Sellers deal with the people whose names are on the company, not a call center, from the first conversation to the closing table.

We Buy Houses in Detroit: Common Questions
Is “we buy houses” legit, or is this a scam?
The phrase is used by everyone from national franchises to one person wholesalers, so vet the specific company, not the slogan. We are a BBB accredited Michigan company with 50+ verified Google reviews, a Northville office, and every closing runs through a licensed title company. Use the five point checklist above on us and anyone else you talk to.
Do you really buy houses in any Detroit neighborhood?
Yes. We price block by block rather than redlining zip codes. Values differ street to street in Detroit and our offers reflect the actual block, which is why sellers in overlooked neighborhoods often find our number beats the texts and signs.
My Detroit house has tenants. Can you still buy it?
Yes, occupied houses with tenants are a large share of what we buy in Detroit. We honor existing leases, handle the city rental compliance paperwork after closing, and you never have to manage an eviction to sell.
What fees do I pay when you buy my house?
None. No commissions, no closing costs, no processing fees. Back taxes, water bills, and liens get paid from the sale proceeds at the title company, so you never write a check to sell to us.
