The housing stock in Appleton

Appleton grew up around the Fox River paper mills, and the housing follows the river. The Old Third Ward and Historic Central neighborhoods hold the oldest and most architecturally significant homes in the city, many of them large Queen Annes and Foursquares that are wonderful to look at and expensive to bring up to current standards. North and east of downtown, around Erb Park and City Park, the stock is mostly 1920s through 1950s two-story frames and story-and-a-halfs on narrow lots. Toward Grand Chute the city gives way to post-1980 subdivisions.

Why Appleton sellers call us

Appleton is our home city — the office is on Edgewood Drive and Dan has been buying here since 2010. If you want somebody to actually walk the property rather than email you a number sight-unseen, we can usually be there within a day or two of your call.

How it works

Three steps in Appleton

1. Tell us about the house

The address and a rough idea of condition. We do not need photographs or paperwork to start.

2. We come and look at it

We walk the property in Appleton ourselves, then send a written cash offer within 24 hours with the math shown.

3. You pick the closing date

Seven days or three months, at a Wisconsin title company, with our On-Time Guarantee behind the date.

Common Appleton situations

Most people who call us are dealing with a situation, not just a house.

Behind on property taxes

Delinquent Wisconsin property taxes, and the county clock that runs in the background.

Downsizing or moving to care

A house that got too big, too much upkeep, or too many stairs.

Relocating for work

A start date somewhere else and a house still sitting in Wisconsin.

Facing foreclosure

Wisconsin foreclosure runs through the circuit court, which usually means more time than people think.

Inherited a house

Probate, siblings, and a house full of a lifetime of belongings.

Appleton sellers ask us

Do you buy in the Fox Cities villages, or only in Appleton?
All of them. Kimberly, Little Chute, Kaukauna, Combined Locks, Greenville, Hortonville, Seymour, Black Creek — we buy across the whole county, and the villages are a large share of what we buy. Appleton is simply where our office is.
My house is in one of the older Appleton wards and needs everything. Is it too far gone?
Almost certainly not. The older wards are exactly where we do most of our work — original wiring, a single bathroom, a basement that has taken water, plaster that has seen better decades. We have not yet turned down a house in this county for condition alone.
The property is out in a township with a well and septic. Does that change anything?
Not for us. A septic system that will not pass inspection is one of the most common reasons a financed sale in the outer townships collapses, and it has no effect on a cash purchase. Tell us what you know about the system and we will price it in.
What if the house has tenants in it?
We buy occupied rentals regularly and you do not need to remove anyone first. Leases transfer with the property, so we take the tenants along with the house and handle the relationship from closing forward. Please do tell us about any tenant who has stopped paying — it does not sink the deal, we just need to know.
Do I have to fill out a Wisconsin real estate condition report?
For most 1-4 family transfers Wisconsin requires the seller to provide a real estate condition report, though certain sellers — a personal representative settling an estate, for example — are exempt. Either way, we are buying as-is with our eyes open, so disclosing a problem to us does not cost you anything. The title company will tell you exactly which forms apply to your sale.
What does the seller normally pay at a Wisconsin closing?
Wisconsin charges a real estate transfer fee of $3 per $1,000 of value, which is customarily the seller's cost, and property taxes are prorated to the closing date. Beyond that, we cover the standard closing costs. Your title company will give you a settlement statement before closing that shows every line.
What if I owe back property taxes or there is a lien?
That is very common and it is generally solvable. Liens and delinquent taxes get paid out of the sale proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket beforehand. The title company identifies everything attached to the property during the title search, and we work through the payoffs as part of the closing.
