Call (616) 208-2888Selling a House in Ada?
Most Ada homeowners who call us don’t want to spend months getting a house ready, listing it, and waiting. Maybe one of these sounds like you:
- A larger or higher-value home you want to sell without months of showings
- An inherited house you need to settle
- A downsize after the kids have moved out
- A relocation with a firm start date
- A house that needs updates before it would show well
You don’t have to fix it, clean it, or figure it out alone.
A Neighbor, Not a Call Center
I’m Alex Jenkins. I’ve lived on the northeast side of Grand Rapids my whole life, including time in Ada and near Cannonsburg. I grew up in Rockford, just up the road. When you call us about an Ada house, you’re talking with someone who knows the area firsthand.
Many Ada homes are worth more on the open market than an investor would pay. When that’s true for yours, I’ll tell you, and show you how our Retail Buyer Program works, instead of pushing a cash offer that leaves money on the table.
How We Buy Houses in Ada
We start by listening: what do you need the sale to do for you, and when? Then we walk the house with you in person. From there you get your options, explained plainly.
Option 1: A cash offer, as-is
We or one of the local investors we work with buy the house exactly as it is. No repairs, no cleaning, no showings, and no commission. We cover the normal closing costs, and you pick the closing date.
Option 2: Our Retail Buyer Program
When the open market would pay you more, a licensed local agent lists the house and we coordinate the sale and help get it to closing. It takes longer than cash, and we go over every cost with you before you sign.
If neither option fits, we’ll tell you honestly and point you to someone who can help.

Selling in Ada: Local Things to Know
Higher-value homes often fit our Retail Buyer Program
For a well-kept Ada home, the open market may pay more than any cash buyer. For a home that needs updates, or when you need certainty on a date, a cash sale can still make sense. We’ll lay out both so you can compare.
Ada and Cannonsburg
Ada sits where the Thornapple River meets the Grand River, east of Grand Rapids, and Cannonsburg is just to the north. We buy throughout both, including homes on larger lots with wells and septic systems.
Disclosures and closing
Michigan’s Seller Disclosure Act generally requires a disclosure statement for homes with one to four units, even in an as-is sale. Your sale closes at a local title company, and the deed is recorded with the Kent County Register of Deeds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a House in Ada
Do you buy houses in Ada, Michigan?
Yes. We buy houses in Ada and nearby Cannonsburg, and Alex has lived on this side of Grand Rapids his whole life.
Will I get a low offer on a nice Ada home?
Not if the open market would pay you more. For higher-value homes, we often recommend our Retail Buyer Program, where a licensed local agent lists the house and we coordinate the sale. We’ll show you the numbers both ways.
Do you buy houses that need updates?
Yes. We buy as-is, so dated kitchens, older roofs, and other repairs are fine. The condition changes the price, not whether we can help.
Can I sell an inherited home in Ada?
Yes. We help heirs and executors sell inherited homes as they sit, belongings and all, and we coordinate with the title company and your attorney through closing.
How fast can you close?
On a cash sale, you choose the date. A Retail Buyer Program sale takes longer because the house is listed on the open market.
Do you buy in Cannonsburg too?
Yes. Cannonsburg and the rest of Cannon Township are part of the area we buy in.
