Common questions about selling in Superior
Straight answers, from the buyer. We are not neutral, so check anything that matters with a Wisconsin attorney or the title company.
Are you in Superior?
No. We are based in Duluth, Minnesota, and have no office in Superior or any other Wisconsin town. We buy on this side of the bridge, and the sale follows Wisconsin law.
Do you charge a commission or a listing fee?
No. We are the buyer you deal with, not an agent, so there is no agent commission and no listing fee on a sale to us. Closing costs can still exist, so ask for them in writing.
Do I have to fix or clean the house first?
No. You do not have to make repairs, clean, or arrange showings. See the guide for a house that needs work for the Wisconsin paperwork that still applies.
How do you come up with the number?
We buy below what a fixed-up house could bring. That gap pays for repairs, holding costs, and our profit. You get the number in writing with the math explained, and the person who calls you back is the one who decides it.
Who picks the closing date?
You do. The sale closes through a title company. Open estates or a missing signature can set the pace, and we cannot change that. The steps are on the closing page.
Does the advice I found for Duluth apply here?
Often not. Superior is in Wisconsin, so Wisconsin law decides. The seller's condition report, for one, is due no later than 10 days after the contract is accepted. The home page has a table of what changes at the state line.
Who pays the state's transfer fee?
Wisconsin puts it on the seller, at 30 cents for each $100 of value. Ask your title company to show it on the closing paper before you agree to anything.
What if there is a tenant in the house?
Tell us about the lease when you first write or call. Wisconsin has its own rules on notice and deposits, and they are in the rental guide. We do not tell tenants anything on your behalf.
What if the owner has died, or it is not only my name on the deed?
Then someone with the right to sign has to be in place first, and which person depends on how the house was held. The inherited house guide walks through it. You can still ask us for a number while that is sorted out.
Does a divorce change who can sell?
Yes. A married person's homestead deed has to be signed or joined in by each spouse. Nobody should be pressed to act alone. See the divorce guide.
Does the city make me inspect or repair before I sell?
State law limits that. The details, and the parts we could not read, are on the city rules page.
What happens if I ask for an offer?
You send the address, and we call you back ourselves. Asking commits you to nothing, and so does hearing the number. If listing with an agent looks better for you, we will say so.
