The housing stock in Cedarburg
Cedarburg is a well-known historic town where a designated district can mean exterior work requires review before it happens. The older stock around Washington Avenue and Cedar Creek is genuine 19th-century stone and frame construction, beautifully kept and expensive to maintain properly.

Seven days or three months, at a Wisconsin title company, with our On-Time Guarantee behind the date.
Common Cedarburg situations
Most people who call us are dealing with a situation, not just a house.
Inherited a house
Probate, siblings, and a house full of a lifetime of belongings.
Going through a divorce
Two people, one house, and a need for a clean, dated, unambiguous ending.
Tired of being a landlord
Occupied, damaged, or simply not worth the phone calls anymore.
Code violations or orders
An open order from the building inspector does not stop us buying.
Already moved out
Carrying an empty house you no longer live in, from somewhere else.
Cedarburg sellers ask us
Maintaining a historic Cedarburg house has become too much. What are our options?
Do the district rules affect what you will pay?
Our house is in a historic district. Does that make it harder to sell?
The property is large and we simply cannot maintain it any more. Do you buy at this end of the market?
Do you actually come and look at the house?
Do I need to be there for the closing?
What if I need extra time to move out after closing?

Local resources
Useful Ozaukee County offices and services
Selling in Cedarburg means dealing with two levels of government: Cedarburg handles your assessment, permits and any code enforcement, while Ozaukee County records the deed and collects delinquent taxes. These are the offices and services that actually matter when you sell.
Ozaukee County Register of Deeds
Port Washington, Wisconsin
Where the deed to your property is recorded, and where the title company will search the chain of title and anything recorded against it.
Ozaukee County Treasurer
Port Washington, Wisconsin
Handles delinquent property taxes once they pass out of the local municipality. If you are behind, this office can tell you the exact payoff and where your parcel sits in the county process — call them before you decide anything.
Ozaukee County Circuit Court
Port Washington, Wisconsin
Wisconsin foreclosure is judicial, so any action against your property is filed here rather than advertised in a newspaper. Probate for an estate is administered here too.
Ozaukee County Land Records / GIS
Port Washington, Wisconsin
Parcel maps, assessments and ownership records. Useful for confirming lot lines, acreage, and what the county thinks your property actually is.
Lake Michigan bluff setbacks
Bluff-adjacent property can carry setback and stability requirements that affect both rebuilding and financing.
Free statewide help
None of these are us, and none of them cost anything. If you are in trouble with a mortgage, talk to a counsellor before you talk to any buyer, including us.
- Wisconsin Department of Revenue — Property tax guidance, the real estate transfer fee, and the lottery and gaming credit. Useful for understanding what you will actually pay at closing.
- WHEDA — Wisconsin's housing finance authority. Worth a look if keeping the house is still on the table rather than selling it.
- Legal Action of Wisconsin — Free civil legal help in much of southern Wisconsin, including housing matters.
- Wisconsin Judicare — Free civil legal help serving northern Wisconsin. Check which of the two covers your county.
We list these because they are genuinely useful, not because we are affiliated with them. Contact details change — search for the office by name rather than relying on a number printed on a website.
