How to Sell Your House Fast After a Job Loss in Michigan
The paychecks stopped — but the mortgage didn’t. Here’s what to do now.
You didn’t plan for this.
One day you had a job… and the next, everything changed.
Now the mortgage payment is looming — or maybe it’s already late — and you’re waking up at 3 a.m. with that pit in your stomach, thinking:
“What am I supposed to do now? I can’t afford this. But I can’t afford to lose everything, either.”
You’re not irresponsible. You’re not a failure.
You’re stuck — between a house you can’t keep and a future you’re not sure how to face.
The truth?
You’re not alone. Every week, I talk to Michigan homeowners who are exactly where you are right now:
Out of work.
Out of time.
And running out of options.
But there is a way forward — and it starts with having a real conversation with someone who actually listens.

🤝 You’re Not Alone — and You’re Not the First
Maybe you’re sitting there thinking:
“I never thought I’d be in this position.”
Let me tell you something important:
You are not broken.
You are not a failure.
You are not alone.
Job loss happens — and when it does, most homeowners in Michigan find themselves stuck between panic and pressure.
You don’t have to figure everything out today.
You just have to take the next right step.

💥 You’re Trying to Fix the Future While Drowning in the Present
This isn’t just about selling a house.
It’s about trying to solve a crisis while you’re still inside it.
You’re expected to:
Make smart financial decisions,
Keep up appearances,
And somehow stay calm…
All while carrying fear, shame, and the sinking feeling that this situation is only getting worse.
This isn’t just a financial problem.
It’s emotional. It’s mental. It’s survival.
“I don’t need a pitch right now. I need someone who gets it.”
That’s why I do things differently.
👂 What If the First Step Was Just a Real Conversation?
You don’t need another offer. You need a real person.
Someone who won’t push. Who won’t pitch. Who will just… listen.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Dennis. I’ve helped hundreds of Michigan homeowners navigate job loss, foreclosure, code violations — all of it.
But here’s what makes me different:
I don’t start with a number. I start with your story.
If I can help by buying your house, I will.
If not, I’ll tell you honestly — and help you figure out what is best.

🧭 Not Every Road Leads to Me — And That’s Okay
Let’s walk through your options together — calmly and clearly.
🏡 Option 1: List with a Realtor
Most people assume this is their only path.
It can work — but if your house needs work or time is tight, it may not be the right fit.
🔁 Option 2: Loan Modification or Refinance
Lenders may offer help — but most people don’t qualify after job loss.
Still, it’s worth checking.
💸 Option 3: Sell As-Is for Cash
If you need speed, certainty, and simplicity — this is where I may be able to help.
No repairs. No showings. No commissions. Just clarity.

💬 Not Everyone I Talk To Sells — But Everyone Walks Away With Clarity
Chris in Roseville: “They actually listened. He gave me a fair offer and helped me get out without losing my mind.”
Marie in Dearborn: “I expected a lowball. Instead, he told me not to sell — and gave me resources to stay afloat.”
Thomas in Livonia: “He didn’t buy from me. But he gave me peace of mind, and that was worth everything.”
Real help. No pressure. Just clarity.

“Mr. Fassett – thank you for working with us to buy my Mom’s home after she passed away. When you mentioned that you would give us an offer within 24 hours and then close quickly I didn’t really believe that we would have the house sold in only 2 weeks. I’m glad I found you.”

“Thanks for buying my Mother’s home. It was a big help that you were able to buy it without us having to clean it out and get it ready to sell. My mother had accumulated lots of stuff and after the stress of her long illness I was exhausted and I dreaded dealing with all of it. I also liked it that you gave me a very fair price for the home. I’m on a fixed income and that really helped a lot.”

Henry G. - Michigan

“Dennis – thank you for helping us with our Mom’s home. This was a very traumatic experience for us, and we appreciated your patience with all the emotions we experienced during the process. You were really patient and understanding with us during the sale process, and we’re sure that Mom’s home will be in good hands. God Bless.”

Claudia and Nancy M. - Michigan
