Selling a Home in Detroit
A sound sale begins with ownership, goals, property condition, realistic pricing inputs, and a written service plan. Traditional listing, direct sale, cash-offer, auction, and owner-sale paths have different fees, exposure, obligations, and risks. Compare the complete transaction before committing.

Confirm ownership, authority, and sale goals
Verify the legal owners, recorded title, trusts or estates, liens, taxes, assessments, occupancy, leases, and any authority needed to sign. Resolve name, probate, divorce, business, or power-of-attorney questions with qualified help before accepting an offer.
Define the desired timing, minimum acceptable net proceeds, repair capacity, occupancy plan, and tolerance for uncertainty. A high headline offer may produce a lower net result after credits, fees, repairs, financing conditions, or delayed closing.
02
Prepare property facts and disclosures
Gather permits, repairs, warranties, utility information, surveys, prior inspections, insurance claims, leases, and material property records. Discuss applicable disclosure duties with a qualified professional. Concealing a known issue can create risk after closing.
Use objective condition and feature descriptions. Professional photos, measurements, and staging can support marketing, but they should not misrepresent space or condition. Verify statements about schools, zoning, square footage, taxes, future use, and neighborhood services.
03
Compare representation and marketing terms
If hiring a broker or salesperson, verify the Michigan license and review the listing agreement, duration, compensation, exclusivity, marketing plan, showing process, cancellation, and post-termination obligations. A directory listing or paid profile is not a recommendation.
For a direct buyer or cash offer, verify the purchaser, proof of funds or financing, assignment rights, inspection terms, closing date, costs, and cancellation rights. Compare net proceeds and risk rather than assuming speed or convenience is free.
04
Evaluate offers and protect the closing
Compare price, financing, deposit, contingencies, inspections, appraisal, concessions, included items, deadlines, possession, and buyer qualifications. Document changes in the signed agreement. Rebuild Detroit does not choose an offer or provide contract advice.
Verify wire instructions through a known title or closing contact before sending funds or accepting a last-minute change. Review the settlement statement, deed, payoff, taxes, commissions, fees, possession, and document delivery. Keep the final signed record.
