Already moved / relocating

You've already left. The house didn't get the memo.

An empty house 200 miles away, or 2,000, is a bill that never sleeps: taxes, insurance, utilities, and the nagging worry about pipes, break-ins, and the lawn. You can be done with it without coming back.

Sound familiar?

  • Two mortgages, or a mortgage plus rent, and the math gets worse monthly
  • Empty houses attract problems: frozen pipes, vandalism, lapsed insurance terms
  • Managing repairs and showings from three states away isn't realistic
  • Half your stuff is still in it and dealing with that means a road trip

What you won't have to do

  • Fly back, for the visit or the closing
  • Empty the house or hire cleaners
  • Keep paying two sets of bills for another season
  • Winterize it one more time

How we help

Here's how this actually goes.

1

Sell it from wherever you are

The entire process works remotely: photos and one local visit from us, the offer by email, documents signed electronically or through a notary near you, wherever you live now. Wisconsin closings don't require you in the room.

2

Leave what you left

Whatever didn't make the moving truck, furniture, boxes, the shed, stays with the house. Take your time getting anything you still want shipped; the rest is our cleanup, not yours.

3

A date you can plan a life around

A written cash offer in 24 hours and a closing date backed by $5,000 in escrow once the deal goes firm. The wire hits your account the same way whether you're in Milwaukee or Montana.

"House Buyer Dan made the process quick and easy and were very helpful answering any questions we had about the process itself. We closed our home in days!"

Straight answers

Questions people in your spot ask us

How does closing work if I live out of state?

The title company sends documents electronically or overnights them to a notary near you, and your proceeds arrive by wire. Sellers close with us from across the country routinely; you never set foot in Wisconsin.

How do you make an offer if I'm not there to show it?

Photos or a video call get us most of the way, then we take a look at the house ourselves, we're local, it's easy. Your written offer follows within 24 hours.

What about the things I couldn't take with me?

Leave them. Tell us if there's anything you want shipped or set aside and we'll work that out person to person. Everything else conveys with the house and we handle it after closing.

Questions about this situation

The house is empty and I live somewhere else. Do I need to come back?
Usually not. Wisconsin closings can generally be completed remotely — the title company can arrange a remote or mail-away signing. Plenty of our sellers never return to the property, and we can arrange access without you being there.
What is an empty house actually costing me?
More than most owners add up: the mortgage, property taxes, insurance — frequently at a higher vacant-property rate — utilities kept on so the pipes do not freeze, and lawn or snow service you now pay for. Several months of that regularly exceeds the gap between a cash offer and a retail sale.
Should I tell my insurer the house is empty?
Yes, and sooner rather than later. Many standard policies limit or exclude coverage once a property has been vacant beyond a stated period, and finding that out after a claim is a bad way to find out. A vacant Wisconsin house between November and March is genuinely exposed to a burst pipe.
Who actually is House Buyer Dan?
Dan and Diana Ahlborn, buying Wisconsin houses since 2010, based in Appleton. Not a call centre, not a lead broker who sells your information on, and not a national franchise. When you call, you get one of us. Meet Dan and Diana, or check the receipts on are we legit.
We are divorcing — do we both have to agree to sell?
Generally yes. Wisconsin is a marital property state, so a home acquired during the marriage is usually marital property and both spouses ordinarily need to sign off on a sale unless a court order says otherwise. We are used to working with two parties who are not speaking, and with attorneys on both sides, and we can send identical paperwork to each of you separately. See our divorce page.
How fast can you actually close?
As little as seven days once your offer goes firm, because we are not waiting on a lender, an appraisal, or an underwriter. If you need longer, that is genuinely fine — plenty of our sellers pick a date six or eight weeks out so they can line up their next place. You choose the date, and our On-Time Guarantee puts $5,000 in escrow behind it.

The offer is free, the math is shown, and "no" is a perfectly good answer. Worst case, you'll know exactly what your options are.
