We Buy Houses in Eastpointe, MI (48021)
Need to sell my house fast Eastpointe owners search, and mean it? Behind on Macomb County taxes, holding a house you inherited, done being a landlord, or sitting on a 48021 bungalow that needs more work than it is worth — I buy Eastpointe houses as-is, for cash, with no agent, no commission and no repair list. I am Aaron, I have been buying in Metro Detroit since 2012, and I close two Eastpointe deals a year on average rather than a hundred. Tell me about your house and you will have a written cash offer within 24 hours. No pressure, no obligation, and you never have to get on the phone if you would rather not.
Money Team Properties is a cash home buyer working the east side of Macomb County, Eastpointe included. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of telling me about the house. Not an estimate, not a range — a number.
There are no repair costs, no cleaning, no commissions and no closing costs on your side. What I offer is what you walk away with, and you can take it to anyone you like before you decide.
The Cash Home Buyer Behind Money Team Properties
I am Aaron. I founded Money Team Properties in 2012 and I still run it myself — there is no acquisitions team, no call center and no one you get handed off to. I grew up in Detroit and I have been buying houses across this metro for more than thirteen years. I have purchased several properties in Eastpointe, including some on Piper and Collinson, as well as in various other areas of the city. I have been visiting Eastpointe for years, attending friends’ gatherings and celebrating birthdays along Gratiot. Additionally, one of my contractors lives in Eastpointe, and I had my car’s windows tinted at DJ’s on Gratiot. I handle the cleaning, the repairs and the fees. Your house never goes on the MLS and there is no closing cost line coming out of your side.
Want to see the number before you decide anything? Find out who you are dealing with first if you like — then send me the address. There is no cost and no obligation to get an offer. Once you have it in writing, compare it against a listing, against another buyer, against keeping the house. If a different route is better for you, I will tell you so.
What I Actually Know About Selling a House in 48021
First, a correction worth making, because I keep seeing it written wrong: Eastpointe is entirely inside Macomb County. All of it. The city calls itself the “Gateway to Macomb County” and it sits right on top of 8 Mile, which is where Wayne County ends and Macomb begins — but the line runs along the city’s southern edge, not through the middle of it. Your deed, your taxes and your title work all go through one county, not two. If you are reading a page that tells you your Eastpointe sale involves both counties, that page is wrong, and it matters, because the deadlines are different on each side.
Second thing worth knowing, if you have owned here a while: this was the City of East Detroit until 1 July 1992, when residents voted to change the name. Plenty of older paperwork, older title chains and older family members still say East Detroit. It does not complicate anything — it just comes up.
The houses themselves
Eastpointe is about five square miles and roughly 34,000 people, which means the housing stock is tight, old and fairly consistent. Across 48021 the better pockets give you brick ranches. Everywhere else it is mostly frame bungalows — wood-sided, one-and-a-half storeys, built anywhere from the mid-1920s through the 1950s, with a scattering of early-1970s ranches mixed in.
Here is the part that decides whether a cash sale is right for you. In my experience these houses do not need updating — they need work. Roof, furnace, electrical panel, a basement that has been taking water for ten years. That is a different problem from dated cabinets. A retail buyer at this price point is almost always financed, and a financed buyer brings an appraiser and an inspector who will both flag exactly those things. That is where 48021 listings die: not on price, on condition. Selling for cash removes the lender, the appraisal and the inspection from the equation entirely.
Where I have actually bought
I am not going to pretend I do a hundred deals a year here. I have closed two Eastpointe houses since 2021 — one on Piper, north of 9 Mile, and one on Collinson, south of 9 Mile and east of Gratiot. Both were exactly the kind of house described above. Beyond the closings, I am in this city regularly: friends who live here, birthday parties and dinners on the Gratiot strip, and one of the contractors I use lives in Eastpointe, which is why I can price repairs here without guessing.
The sellers I end up buying from in Eastpointe fall into four groups, and they are always the same four: people behind on property taxes, landlords who are finished being landlords, people who need money faster than a listing can produce it, and people holding a house that has gone past the point of being worth repairing.
If any of that sounds like your situation, send me the address and I will get you a written number within 24 hours.
How a Macomb County Closing Works on Your Eastpointe House
If you are behind on property taxes
Macomb County runs a three-year clock and the dates are fixed. Unpaid taxes go delinquent to the Macomb County Treasurer on 1 March. One year later the property is forfeited. The year after that, the Treasurer petitions circuit court, a show-cause hearing runs in January, judgment is entered in February, and on 31 March title passes to the county and your right to redeem is gone. That last date is the one that matters, and it does not move.
You are not stuck until that date arrives. A cash sale can pay the delinquency straight out of the closing proceeds, which means the tax bill gets cleared at the table rather than coming out of your pocket first. What kills these is timing — people wait until March. If you are anywhere in that three-year window, the Macomb County Treasurer’s office at (586) 469-5446 will tell you exactly where your parcel stands, and it is worth the call before you talk to anybody about selling.
If the house came to you through an estate
An Eastpointe estate is filed with the Macomb County Probate Court at 40 N. Main Street in Mount Clemens, not with any Wayne County court and not with the circuit court. I want to be straight with you here: I have closed probate deals elsewhere in this metro, but not one inside Eastpointe, so I am not going to sell you expertise I do not have. What I can tell you is that I buy from personal representatives regularly, I do not need the estate closed before we sign, and I work with a title company that handles the Macomb filings rather than learning them on your deal.
What closing actually looks like
A local title company confirms clear title and handles the paperwork. Back taxes, a lien, an unpaid water bill — those get settled out of the proceeds, not up front. The fastest I have genuinely closed a house is three days. A normal purchase agreement runs about two weeks. You pick the date.
Selling a Rental House in Eastpointe: What the City Requires
This is the part nobody else selling to Eastpointe landlords seems to mention, so here it is. The City of Eastpointe’s Building Department requires every non-owner-occupied residential property to be registered and inspected every two years. A tenant cannot legally occupy the property until the city certifies it. Registration also requires a heating inspection signed off by a licensed contractor, and there is a separate one-time owner or manager registration on top of the property registration.
The detail that matters when you sell: if the property is certified at the time of the sale, that certificate can carry over to the new owner — but only if the new owner registers it within 14 days of purchase. Let that window lapse and the clock starts over. If your certificate has expired, or you let the registration go while you were deciding what to do with the house, that is not a reason to fix it before selling to me. I buy it as it stands and deal with the registration on my side.
Two honest caveats. I have bought from Eastpointe landlords who were done with the business, but I have not bought a house here with tenants still in it, so I am telling you what the city publishes rather than what I have personally been through. And fees and forms change — call the Eastpointe Building Department at (586) 445-3661, option 2 for the current requirements rather than relying on this page or on anybody else’s.
Cash Sale vs Listing Your Eastpointe House
| Selling to me | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs before sale | None. I buy as-is. | Usually required after inspection |
| Appraisal risk | None — no lender involved | Common at Eastpointe price points |
| Commission | $0 | Typically paid from your proceeds |
| Closing costs | I cover them | Split, negotiated |
| Cleaning and clear-out | Leave whatever you want | Expected before showings |
| Showings | One walkthrough, mine | Ongoing until it sells |
| Timeline | 3 days at fastest, about 2 weeks typical | Depends on the market and the buyer’s lender |
| Back taxes or liens | Settled from proceeds at closing | Usually must be cleared first |
A listing will usually produce a higher headline number. Whether it produces more money in your hand depends on what the repairs, the commission, the carrying costs and the months cost you — and on whether the sale actually closes. Run both. I would rather you make the right call than a fast one.

Where I Buy Around Eastpointe and Macomb County
I buy across Eastpointe — the Gratiot corridor, the streets off 9 Mile and 10 Mile, the Kelly Road side, and right down to the 8 Mile border where Macomb County meets Detroit. Bungalow, brick ranch, duplex, vacant lot, a house full of thirty years of belongings: condition and contents are my problem, not yours. I am one of the few cash home buyers in Eastpointe who actually lives and works in this metro rather than running the city from a call centre three states away. I buy throughout the rest of Macomb County and across the east side too. Send me the address and I will tell you within 24 hours what I can pay.

Eastpointe Cash Sale Questions, Answered
What makes a cash offer better for a seller?
Receiving cash for your real estate is likely better than your other options for several reasons. One is the convenience of just how fast our service truly is. Another is that we’ll handle any renovations or cleaning necessary after we buy your home. There’s no need to prep or stage your house, and there’s only one showing to us. We also offer personalized service, keeping you regularly updated on the status of this fast sale, and we understand the unique challenges that Eastpointe homeowners face when they go to sell their real estate.
Can you sell a house in 7 days?
When you sell your house to us, it’s possible to receive that cash in 7 days. However, do keep in mind that our average timeframe when we buy real estate is 7-14 days, and it can take up to a month in exceptional circumstances. The latter situation may occur if you have complicated paperwork or financial conditions related to the Eastpointe house that you need to sell. Once the sale is ready to be finalized, we’ll close on your terms when you want.
What’s the fastest way to sell a house?
A cash sale, in almost every case. There is no lender, so there is no appraisal, no financing contingency and no underwriter who can change their mind three weeks in. The fastest I have genuinely closed is three days; a normal purchase agreement here runs about two weeks. A listing can absolutely beat that on price. It rarely beats it on certainty, especially on an Eastpointe house that would not pass an FHA inspection.
Is selling my house for cash a good idea?
That’s a question only you can answer. However, when I sell my house fast Eastpointe for cash, it is definitely a great idea, especially when you sell to us. We offer numerous benefits when we buy houses that you wouldn’t get with a traditional sale. We understand that our offer might not work for everyone, such as investors who view a house as an investment and don’t mind waiting longer to sell, investing in renovations, and making other sacrifices. But if your goal is a fast sale and reduced stress, selling for cash is likely a good idea.
Is Eastpointe in Wayne County or Macomb County?
Macomb County, all of it. Eastpointe borders Detroit and Wayne County along 8 Mile, which is why this gets confused so often, but the city sits entirely on the Macomb side of that line. Your taxes go to the Macomb County Treasurer, an estate is filed with the Macomb County Probate Court in Mount Clemens, and your deed is recorded with the Macomb County Register of Deeds. One county, one set of deadlines.
Do I need a certificate of occupancy to sell my house in Eastpointe?
I am not going to guess at this one. What the City of Eastpointe publishes is a requirement for rental property: every non-owner-occupied home has to be registered and inspected every two years, and a tenant cannot move in until the city certifies it. I have seen other cash-buyer websites claim Eastpointe requires a certificate of occupancy on an ordinary owner-occupied resale. I have not been able to confirm that from the city, and I would not want you spending money on an inspection you may not need. Call the Eastpointe Building Department at (586) 445-3661, option 2 and ask them directly. Either way, if an inspection does turn up a repair list, that does not stop me buying — I take the house as it is.
Can you still buy my house if I am behind on property taxes?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons people in Eastpointe call me. The delinquency gets paid out of the closing proceeds rather than out of your pocket beforehand. The thing to watch is the date: Macomb County forecloses on 31 March in the third year after the taxes went delinquent, and once that date passes the property is gone and so is any equity in it. If you are inside that window, act well before March rather than during it. The Macomb County Treasurer at (586) 469-5446 will confirm exactly where your parcel sits.
How do I know you will not back out after I sign?
Fair question, and the honest answer has two halves. In more than thirteen years I have never voluntarily backed out of a purchase agreement I signed — not once. I am also not going to claim every deal closes: two of my last twelve did not, both because of title problems that surfaced in the search and that nobody could have prevented. So the promise I can actually make is narrow and I will stand behind it: I will not be the reason your sale falls apart.

I buy houses across Eastpointe and the rest of Macomb County, and I will make you a fair, competitive written offer on yours. You get the number within 24 hours, you get it in writing, and it does not change after I walk the house.
One thing I will put my name to: in more than thirteen years I have never voluntarily walked away from a purchase agreement I signed.

What I will tell you is that if I sign, I am not the reason it falls apart. See how I buy houses in Eastpointe.
