“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.”
Michelle L. - Michigan
“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

Vacant Properties in Detroit
Detroit's vacant home market is unforgiving — the city moves fast on code violations, insurance lapses quietly, and an empty house deteriorates faster than most people expect. If you've got a property sitting empty in any Detroit neighborhood for any reason, we buy them as-is, no cleanout required. Learn more about selling a vacant house in Michigan →
Tired Landlords & Bad Tenants in Detroit
If you're done being a landlord in Detroit — nonpaying tenants, lease violations, properties being trashed, city notices piling up — we buy rental properties with tenants still inside. No eviction required on your end. We've closed deals in nine days on properties most buyers wouldn't touch. Learn more about selling with bad tenants in Michigan →
Financial Pressure — Foreclosure, Bankruptcy & Delinquent Taxes
Facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes, or considering bankruptcy? We work regularly with the Wayne County Treasurer's office and can often resolve outstanding liens and tax issues at closing. If you're running out of time, speed matters — and we can close in as few as five days. Learn more about selling before foreclosure in Michigan →

Why Sellers Choose Dennis Buys Houses
We’re Not Agents. We’re Just Real Buyers Who Care.
Detroit is one of Michigan's most active markets for as-is home sales — with neighborhoods from Morningside and Rosedale Park on the east side to Old Redford, Brightmoor, and University District on the west side all seeing consistent demand from cash buyers. We've closed deals in nearly every Detroit ZIP code, including 48205, 48221, 48235, 48228, 48224, and 48215.
Whether you're dealing with a probate property near Jefferson Chalmers or a rental gone sideways in Bagley, we know what these homes are worth and we can move fast. No out-of-state company making lowball guesses — just a local buyer who's done this 3,000+ times and actually knows your street.
For over 20 years we’ve built our reputation by helping homeowners solve tough problems — not by pressuring them to sell.
What makes us different:
✅ We are a local and family-owned business — not a national franchise. We're your neighbors, not a call center, not a hedge fund.
✅ Our team has closed over 3,000 transactions completed across the tri-county area
✅ We've closed transactions in 48221, 48235, 48228, 48224, 48215 and many other Detroit ZIP codes
✅ We are proudly BBB A+ rated — check it out!
✅ 22 years buying Detroit homes as-is — since before the market collapse and through the recovery
✅ Total transparency. We're the only company in town that will tell you straight up if we're not the best option for you. It's not just sales talk either - we routinely send people to agents when the agent route made more sense for them. That's the kind of straight talk you get here.

Detroit Seller Case Study
Rosedale Park: Zip Code 48223
Inherited House + Problem Tenant
A Rosedale Park homeowner contacted us after inheriting a property stuck in probate — deferred maintenance, partial roof damage, and a tenant four months behind on rent. Two of the three siblings wanted to list with an agent despite the hostile tenant situation, convinced they'd net more money on the open market.
My partner and I sat down with all three of them and methodically walked through every sale scenario — realistic list price with a problem tenant, carrying costs during a traditional sale, agent commissions, repair requirements, timeline to close, and what they'd actually walk away with after everything. It wasn't a quick conversation. There was a lot of back and forth.
When the numbers were laid out side by side, all three came to the same conclusion on their own — the cash offer was their best path forward. We worked directly with the probate attorney to navigate the legal requirements and closed in 22 days. No repairs, no cleanup, no open houses with a hostile tenant present.
They walked away with cash in hand and a situation they'd been dreading behind them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Straight Answers.
If you’re like most sellers we work with, this may be your first time selling a house without an agent — or selling one in tough condition. Here are a few of the most common questions we get from Detroit homeowners:
Q: How fast can you close on my Detroit house?
Most closings happen in 7–14 days. If you're facing foreclosure or need to move immediately, we can often close in as few as 3–5 days. You choose the date — we work around your schedule, not ours.
Q: Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house?
No. We buy Detroit homes exactly as they are — damaged, full of stuff, or structurally compromised. Leave whatever you don't want. We handle everything after closing. You just take what matters to you and go.
Q: How do you determine your cash offer?
We look at the property condition, comparable sales in your Detroit neighborhood, and what it'll take to renovate. Then we walk you through the numbers. No mystery, no lowballing without explanation — just a transparent breakdown you can evaluate yourself.
Q: Do you buy houses in all Detroit neighborhoods?
Yes. We buy in Morningside, Rosedale Park, Old Redford, University District, Brightmoor, Jefferson Chalmers, Bagley, and every other Detroit neighborhood. If it's in the city limits, we'll make an offer.
Q: What if I owe back taxes or have liens on the property?
We deal with this regularly. In most cases we can work with the Wayne County Treasurer's office and your lender to resolve outstanding issues at or before closing. Don't let taxes or liens stop you from calling.
Q: Is there any obligation when I request an offer?
None. You'll get a fair cash offer with a full explanation of how we got there. You can take it, reject it, or think about it — no pressure, no follow-up harassment. That's not how we operate after 22 years.
