Brown County
We buy houses in Howard, Wisconsin.
Any condition, any situation. A written cash offer within 24 hours, no fees, no commissions, and a closing date you choose.
The housing stock in Howard
Howard is a fast-growing village north-west of Green Bay, and most of its housing is newer subdivision construction on larger lots than you find in the city. There are older pockets near the original village centre and along Duck Creek, but the bulk of the stock is post-1980 and in reasonable repair.
Why Howard sellers call us
Very little of what we buy in Howard is about condition. It is about timing — a relocation, a divorce, an estate, or a house bought before the last one sold.

How it works
Three steps in Howard
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 Howard 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 Howard situations
Most people who call us are dealing with a situation, not just a house.
Already moved out
Carrying an empty house you no longer live in, from somewhere else.
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.
Howard sellers ask us
Would I not do better listing a newer Howard house?
We have already bought our next house. Can you match our timing?
I own a Green Bay duplex with tenants in one or both units. Can you still buy it?
The city has an open order on my property. Does that kill the sale?
Do you buy outside the city, in Howard, Suamico or De Pere?
How fast can you actually close?
What happens after I send my address?
Do you actually come and look at the house?

Local resources
Useful Brown County offices and services
Selling in Howard means dealing with two levels of government: Howard handles your assessment, permits and any code enforcement, while Brown County records the deed and collects delinquent taxes. These are the offices and services that actually matter when you sell.
Brown County Register of Deeds
Green Bay, 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.
Brown County Treasurer
Green Bay, 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.
Brown County Circuit Court
Green Bay, 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.
Brown County Land Records / GIS
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Parcel maps, assessments and ownership records. Useful for confirming lot lines, acreage, and what the county thinks your property actually is.
Brown County land information
Parcel and assessment records for the city, De Pere and the surrounding villages in one place.
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.
