The housing stock in Somers
Somers sits north of Kenosha around UW-Parkside, mixing older housing along the original roads with newer development and a student rental market near the university. It became a village relatively recently and still reads as part village, part township.
Why Somers sellers call us
Student rentals and long-held family property are the two Somers calls we take most often.

How it works
Three steps in Somers
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 Somers 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 Somers 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.
Somers sellers ask us
Can you buy a rental near UW-Parkside with tenants in place?
Do you buy on private wells out toward the townships?
I live in Illinois and own a place on one of the Kenosha County lakes. Do I need to come up for the closing?
The cottage has been added onto over the years, probably without permits. Is that a dealbreaker?
Do you only buy inside specific city limits?
What if my house is outside the counties you list?
What types of property do you buy?

Local resources
Useful Kenosha County offices and services
Selling in Somers means dealing with two levels of government: Somers handles your assessment, permits and any code enforcement, while Kenosha County records the deed and collects delinquent taxes. These are the offices and services that actually matter when you sell.
Kenosha County Register of Deeds
Kenosha, 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.
Kenosha County Treasurer
Kenosha, 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.
Kenosha County Circuit Court
Kenosha, 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.
Kenosha County Land Records / GIS
Kenosha, Wisconsin
Parcel maps, assessments and ownership records. Useful for confirming lot lines, acreage, and what the county thinks your property actually is.
Selling from Illinois
Wisconsin rules govern the sale regardless of where you live, and the title company can generally arrange a remote or mail-away signing so you do not need to travel.

- 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.
