How it works
Three steps in Fitchburg
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 Fitchburg 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 Fitchburg situations
Most people who call us are dealing with a situation, not just a house.
The house needs too much work
Fire, water, foundation, roof, hoarding, or forty years of deferred everything.
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.
Fitchburg sellers ask us

I have owned a Madison rental for decades and I am done. Where do I start?
Dane County sells fast. Why would I take a cash offer here?

Do I have to fill out a Wisconsin real estate condition report?
Why do financed buyers keep walking away over lead paint?

Local resources
Useful Dane County offices and services
Selling in Fitchburg means dealing with two levels of government: Fitchburg handles your assessment, permits and any code enforcement, while Dane County records the deed and collects delinquent taxes. These are the offices and services that actually matter when you sell.
Dane County Register of Deeds
Madison, 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.
Dane County Treasurer
Madison, 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.
Dane County Circuit Court
Madison, 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.
Dane County Land Records / GIS
Madison, Wisconsin
Parcel maps, assessments and ownership records. Useful for confirming lot lines, acreage, and what the county thinks your property actually is.
Madison rental registration and inspection
Long-held rentals frequently have registration or inspection matters outstanding that only surface at sale. Request your property's record before marketing it.
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 Judicare — Free civil legal help serving northern Wisconsin. Check which of the two covers your county.
- 211 Wisconsin — Dial 211 for local assistance programmes — utilities, housing, and emergency help.
- HUD-approved housing counsellors — Free, independent advice on foreclosure, mortgage trouble and selling decisions. Genuinely free — if anyone asks for an upfront fee to stop a foreclosure, that is the shape most foreclosure-rescue scams take.
- CFPB housing counsellor search — A second way to find the same free counselling if the HUD tool is down.
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.
