Sell The Traditional Way
Putting your home on the market with an agent
The time, money, and stress of listing your house on the market really add up.

Listing with an agent works great for sellers with a property in perfect condition and who can afford to wait for the right buyer. The housing market is hot and pretty houses are selling fast.
When you sell your home the usual way, you have to let many people visit your house during open houses. This can be stressful! You also have to think about inspections and the chance that buyers might not get the money they need to buy your home.
All this can add stress and months to the process.
However, a home-buyer company like ours can help you avoid the hassles of a traditional sale.
We’ve helped Grand Rapids homeowners who have received unwanted property through inheritance, own vacant houses, are behind on payments, owe tax liens, downsized and can’t sell, and more. Even if you’ve previously listed the property, the house needs repairs you can’t afford, is fire damaged, or has bad rental tenants, Great Lakes House Buyer can still buy it and will work through your unique situation.
Going through divorce
Going through a divorce and want to sell a house within your timeframe and just be done?
Moving out of state
Need to relocate for work or retirement and need a quick seamless sale?
Tired of dealing with tenants
Sick of being a landlord and renting to tenants who trash your home and don’t pay rent when it’s due?
Is there a solution to skip the uncertainty and lengthy process of a traditional home sale? Yes, there is! Sell directly to Great Lakes House Buyer. We buy houses directly from Grand Rapids homeowners for cash. Sell your house fast and without having to pay an agent’s commission.

There are three options when selling a house or property:
List with a real estate agent
You won’t get the cash from 45 to 90+ days, plus you have to deal with the hassles of open houses, commissions, appraisals, and financing falling through at the last minute.
Sell the house yourself (FSBO)
You’re doing all the work an agent would do to save money on selling expenses, but it costs you a lot of time and stress.

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list homes. We are professional home buyers: We buy homes in Grand Rapids that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the home and resell to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Many of the homes we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell at a profit to another home owner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort, or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your home sold fast…let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable homes sold in the area recently. As you know, home values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your home: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your home to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your home (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the home (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the home from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand).
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your home (so if it’s a $100,000 home, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys homes. We don’t list homes. Since we’re actually the ones buying the home from you, and we pay with all cash…we can make a decision to buy your home within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the home with our own cash, repair the home, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your home to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
