Tired of That Empty House Draining Your Wallet? We’ll Help You Walk Away — Fast
Whether It’s Been Empty for Months or Years, We’ll Buy Your Vacant Michigan Property As-Is
Across Michigan, hundreds of homeowners are stuck with a vacant house they didn’t ask for — one that sits empty, collects dust, and drains their finances and peace of mind.
Maybe it’s an inheritance that came with strings attached. Maybe it’s a home you moved out of long ago, but never had the time, money, or energy to deal with.
I’m Dennis — a local buyer who’s helped Michigan families for over 20 years. I’ve seen every kind of situation, and I’ll never pressure you into something that isn’t right.
Let’s talk. I’ll listen, walk you through your options, and give you straight answers — even if the best solution doesn’t involve me at all.
👉 Reach out when you're ready. There’s no sales pitch. Just a real conversation.
Vacant Homes Don’t Sit Quietly — They Drain You
That empty house might look harmless from the outside — but behind closed doors, it’s slowly costing you more than you realize.
Every month it sits, the bills keep coming: property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums. And if it’s not insured properly? One broken pipe, one break-in, or one act of vandalism could turn a minor issue into a major financial crisis.
Vacant homes are magnets for trouble — especially in Michigan’s unpredictable weather. Frozen pipes, roof damage, illegal dumping, code violations… the list goes on. And the longer it sits, the more it devalues in the eyes of buyers, insurers, and the city.
Worse yet? The emotional cost. That feeling of guilt every time you drive by. The stress of knowing it’s out there — and not knowing what to do about it.
🧠 According to HUD, vacant properties can even trigger increased crime and lower neighboring home values. That’s more pressure — and more reason to act before the situation snowballs.
You don’t have to keep waiting. And you don’t have to fix everything to get rid of it. There’s a simpler way forward — and it starts with a conversation.
It’s Not Just a House — It’s a Headache
If dealing with your vacant house feels like too much… that’s because it is.
Maybe it was left to you after a loved one passed, and every room feels like a reminder. Maybe it used to be a rental, and the last tenants left it in pieces. Or maybe you’ve just been too busy, too stressed, or too unsure to deal with it — and now the idea of even opening the front door feels like too much.
You're not lazy. You're not alone. You’re overwhelmed — and for good reason.
There’s the mess inside. The uncertainty about legal paperwork. The fear of getting judged for the condition it’s in. And underneath all of that? The pressure to “do something” before the situation gets worse.
💡 According to the National Association of Realtors, inherited properties often sit vacant for months or years because families just don’t know where to start.
But you don’t have to figure it out alone — and you don’t have to take on repairs, cleaning, or showings to make it go away.
All it takes is a real conversation — with someone who’s helped people through situations just like this, hundreds of times before.
No Repairs. No Cleaning. No Judgments.
You don’t have to fix anything. You don’t even have to clean.
Whatever shape your vacant house is in — it’s okay. We’ve seen homes with collapsed ceilings, abandoned furniture, water damage, missing appliances, and years of dust. You don’t need to feel embarrassed, and you definitely don’t need to spend a dime trying to get it “ready” for sale.
No showings.
No agents.
No walkthroughs with strangers picking the place apart.
And if the property still has junk, damage, or even city violations? That’s not your problem anymore — it becomes ours.
🛠️ You won’t need to lift a finger. We handle everything — exactly as it is.
When we say “as-is,” we mean it.
Whether the house has been vacant for six months or six years… whether it’s filled with old belongings or just needs to go… you can walk away without cleaning, repairing, or explaining a thing.
Let it go. We’ll take it from here.

Here’s How It Works — Simple, Private, On Your Terms
Selling a vacant house doesn’t have to be complicated — or stressful. With me, there’s no guessing, no pressure, and no surprises.
Here’s what it looks like from start to finish:
✅ Step 1: Reach Out
Tell me a little about the property — what you’re dealing with, what’s stressing you out, and what you’d like to see happen. No scripts. No pressure. Just a real conversation.
✅ Step 2: I’ll Take a Quick Look
We’ll schedule a quick visit — at your convenience. No cleaning needed. I’ve seen houses in every condition imaginable, so don’t worry about what it looks like.
✅ Step 3: You Get a Cash Offer
I’ll make you a fair, straightforward cash offer. No fees. No commissions. And no fine print. You choose the closing date — whether that’s in a week or a few months.
You’re always in control.
If it doesn’t feel right, you’re never obligated to say yes.
If it does feel right, we’ll move fast — and handle everything.
💬 Most sellers tell me they feel a huge sense of relief after that first phone call. That’s the moment things start to get easier.
What Other Michigan Homeowners Are Saying
You’re not the first person to feel stuck with a vacant house — and you won’t be the last. Every situation is different, but the stress, guilt, and overwhelm are often the same.
Here are a few real stories from people across Michigan who reached out, took a deep breath… and found relief.
🏚️ Lisa in Detroit – Inherited and Overwhelmed
Lisa inherited her father’s house after he passed. It had been sitting vacant for over a year — filled with old furniture, memories, and a growing pile of unpaid taxes. She didn’t know where to start. We had one quick conversation, and within a week, she had cash in hand and peace of mind.
“I had no idea it could be this easy. I kept putting it off because I thought I had to clean it out first. Dennis made it painless.”
🔨 Rob in Flint – Abandoned Rental Property
Rob’s old rental had been trashed by tenants, left empty, and cited by the city. Repairs would have cost thousands. Instead of dealing with contractors or listing it, he called me. We handled the code violations and bought the property exactly as it stood.
“I thought I’d be stuck with it forever. Dennis took care of everything, and I didn’t even have to go back inside.”
🌱 Angela in Ypsilanti – Ready to Move On
Angela had moved across the state, but her former home sat empty for two years. Break-ins, yard complaints, and a constant feeling of anxiety followed. After one phone call, she had an offer within 24 hours — and chose a closing date that worked around her job.
“I finally feel like I can breathe again.”

Still Have Questions? You’re Not Alone
Selling a vacant property isn’t something most people do every day. It's normal to have doubts, concerns, or even a little fear. Let’s clear a few of those up right now:
How long does my house need to be vacant before I can sell it?
It doesn’t matter if it’s been empty for a week or ten years. If you own it, you can sell it. We buy vacant homes in all conditions, at any stage.
Do I have to clean everything out first?
Not at all. You can leave behind furniture, debris, old appliances — even things left by previous tenants. We handle the cleanup so you don’t have to lift a finger.
What if the house has code violations or unpaid property taxes?
We deal with properties that have city violations, tax issues, and even open permits. We’ll work with you to resolve them — and yes, we can still buy the house.
Can I sell if I live out of state or can't be there in person?
Absolutely. We often work with sellers who have moved or inherited property from a distance. We can do everything remotely — including paperwork and closing.
Is this legit? What's the catch?
There is no catch. We make fair, no-obligation offers based on the condition of the property. You’re never pressured to accept, and there are no fees or commissions — ever.
What if I just want advice, not an offer?
That’s perfectly fine. Sometimes selling isn’t the best option. I’ll help you explore every path available — even if it means you don’t sell to me.

“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.”
