Michigan has one of the highest rates of tax-reverted land in the country. The state's General Property Tax Act allows counties to foreclose on parcels with three or more years of delinquent taxes — and once that clock starts, it moves fast. If you're behind on taxes or watching the deadline approach, a quick cash sale is often the cleanest exit.
Michigan also levies both a state transfer tax ($7.50 per $1,000 of sale price) and a county transfer tax ($1.10 per $1,000), both typically paid by the seller. On top of a traditional agent's commission, those costs add up before you see a dollar.
We remove all of that friction. No agent, no commission, no contingencies. We pay closing costs and handle all the paperwork. If you own UP timberland you haven't visited in years, a hunting parcel you no longer use, or a vacant lot inherited from a relative, we'll make you a fast, fair cash offer.
Michigan's land market is segmented — lakefront lots in Antrim County trade very differently from cleared agricultural parcels in Saginaw County or remote Upper Peninsula acreage in Schoolcraft County. We know the difference and price accordingly, so you get a real number, not a lowball shot in the dark.

Transfer tax: Michigan sellers pay both the state real estate transfer tax ($7.50 per $1,000) and a county transfer tax ($1.10 per $1,000). Combined that's $8.60 per $1,000 of sale price. We cover these as part of paying closing costs — confirm specifics in your offer.
Tax-deed state: Michigan is a tax-deed state. After three years of tax delinquency, the county treasurer forecloses and the property is offered at auction. If your parcel is in the second or third year of delinquency, selling now avoids losing the parcel entirely.
Closing norm: Michigan real estate closings are typically handled by title companies, not attorneys (though attorneys may be engaged separately). We work with established Michigan title companies statewide.
