Cash Home Buyers in Hazel Park, MI — We Buy Houses As-Is
If you need to sell your house fast in Hazel Park, MI, you’re in the right place. Money Team Properties buys houses across the 48030 zip code and the rest of Oakland County — any condition, cash, no repairs, no agent fees, no hidden costs. I’ve been buying houses in Metro Detroit since 2012. See how the 3-step process works.
Money Team Properties is a local cash home buyer serving Hazel Park and the rest of Metro Detroit. I started the company in 2012 and I still run it myself — you deal with me, not a call center.
Whether the house needs work you can’t pay for, has taxes behind on it, came to you through an estate, or you’re an owner who lives somewhere else and is done dealing with it — the process is the same. You get a cash number within 24 hours, and that number is what you walk away with at closing. No fees. No surprises. No pressure.
Who You’re Actually Dealing With
I’m Aaron. I was born and raised in Detroit, I founded Money Team Properties in 2012, and I’ve been buying houses in this market ever since. There’s no team behind me and no acquisitions department — when you call or text, you get me. I handle the cleaning, the repairs, and the closing costs. Nothing gets listed on the MLS, and you don’t pay a commission.
If you want to see a number, reach out. There’s no cost and no obligation to get one. Once you have it, compare it against listing with an agent and decide what makes sense — more about how I work here.

Why Hazel Park Homeowners Sell Directly to Me
Most of the Hazel Park sellers who reach out are dealing with one of the same handful of problems. Usually it starts with a house that needs more work than the owner can pay for, and everything else follows from there — the taxes slip, the repairs pile up, and listing it stops being realistic. I buy in any condition, including houses that are genuinely in rough shape.
The House Needs Too Much Work
Roof, furnace, plumbing, foundation — it doesn’t matter. I buy as-is and handle the repairs after closing.
You Need Money Sooner Than a Listing Allows
A listing can take months and still fall apart at inspection. Cash removes the financing contingency and the waiting.
Behind on Property Taxes
Oakland County runs a three-year clock before delinquent taxes turn into foreclosure. There’s usually more time than people think — and the payoff comes out of closing.
You Don’t Live Here Anymore
Managing a Hazel Park house from another city or another state gets old fast. I can handle everything locally without you flying in.
You Inherited It
Estates in Hazel Park go through Oakland County probate in Pontiac. I’ve bought through that process before and can work around its timeline.
Done Being a Landlord
About a third of occupied homes in Hazel Park are rentals, and every one needs a city landlord license. I buy tenant-occupied — you don’t have to empty it first. Start here.
What I Know About Selling a House in Hazel Park (48030)
Hazel Park sits in Oakland County between Eight Mile and I-696, with Dequindre Road as the eastern edge and John R running up the middle. One zip code covers the entire city: 48030. Close to nine out of ten homes here are detached single-family houses, and the median one was built in 1955 — roughly two-thirds went up before 1960, and about one in five predates 1940. That matters when you sell. A seventy- or eighty-year-old Hazel Park house almost always has something an inspector will write up, and on the open market that’s where deals die.
I’ve bought four houses in Hazel Park since 2012, the most recent in 2020. One of them was on E Meyers Ave, over toward Dequindre between Eight and Nine Mile, a few minutes from the John R strip. I’ve eaten at Mabel Gray on John R, and at Frame next door before it closed. Where the Hazel Park Raceway used to run, off Ten Mile and Dequindre, there’s now the Tri-County Commerce Center with an Amazon distribution building on it.
Two city rules catch Hazel Park sellers off guard. The first is good news: Hazel Park doesn’t issue a certificate of occupancy for an ordinary resale, so there’s no pre-sale city inspection to pass — simpler than several Oakland County neighbors. The second is not: if a house has sat vacant more than 30 days, it has to be registered with the City Clerk. Registration is $200, covers six months, and the house has to be inspected before anyone moves back in. On top of that, every rental in the city needs a landlord license with an inspection every other year.
If the house came to you through an estate, Oakland County probate runs out of the courthouse on North Telegraph in Pontiac — I’ve made that drive myself and know how the formal-estate restrictions can slow a sale down. Back taxes run on a different clock: Michigan gives you roughly three years of delinquency before forfeiture turns into foreclosure, so there’s usually more room than people assume.
If you need to sell your house fast in Hazel Park and any of that sounds like your situation, tell me about the house and I’ll get you a cash number. The form takes about a minute, there’s no obligation, and I answer the phone myself.

How Selling Your Hazel Park House Works
Three steps, and you can stop at any point.
Tell me about the house
Fill out the short form on this page, or send a text. Takes about 60 seconds. No commitment.
Get a cash number
I look at the property and send you a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.
Pick your closing date
Accept, choose a closing date that fits your schedule, and get paid in cash. I cover the paperwork and the closing costs.
No Repairs, No Agents, No Fees
Nothing needs fixing before I buy. I purchase in as-is condition, which on a 1950s Hazel Park house usually saves the seller both money and a failed inspection.
Listing means showings, appraisals, financing contingencies, and a buyer who can walk. None of that applies here.
The number I give you is the number you walk away with. No commissions, no closing costs, no hidden deductions. Here’s how the offer is put together.
Cash Offer vs. Listing With an Agent in Hazel Park
| Selling to Money Team Properties | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Typically about two weeks; fastest I’ve done is three days | Often 60–90 days from listing to closing |
| Repairs | None — I buy as-is | Usually required before listing, plus whatever inspection turns up |
| Cleaning | Leave whatever you don’t want | Expected to be clean and staged for showings |
| Showings | One walkthrough, by me | Open houses and repeat showings |
| Commission | None | Typically 5–6% of the sale price |
| Closing costs | I pay them | Usually split, seller pays a share |
| Financing falling through | Not possible — cash | A real risk right up to closing day |
| Sale price | Below retail — that’s the trade-off for speed and certainty | Higher on paper, minus commission, repairs, and carrying costs |
A cash offer isn’t the right answer for every house. If your Hazel Park home is in good shape and you can wait, listing it will usually net more.
Areas I Buy Around Hazel Park
Hazel Park is a small city, so most of what I buy sits within a few miles of it — Ferndale and Oak Park to the west, Madison Heights to the north, Warren across Dequindre in Macomb County, and Detroit on the other side of Eight Mile. Single-family, duplex, or a rental you’re done with, the process is the same. I work across Michigan, but this corner of Oakland County is home. Contact me at (313) 307-4517.

Six Reasons Hazel Park Sellers Choose Cash
A Real Number, Fast
My offer reflects what your Hazel Park house is actually worth in its current condition. You’re never obligated to take it.
Close When You Want
You pick the date. Most closings land around two weeks out. If you need longer, that’s fine — the fastest I’ve ever closed was three days.
No Repairs Needed
Most houses in this city are seventy years old or better. Whatever’s on your list — knob-and-tube, a soft floor, a roof that’s due — I take it on after closing.
No Commissions or Fees
On a $150,000 sale, a 6% commission is $9,000. There’s none of that here. Read what past sellers have said.
No Need to Clean It Out
Take what you want and leave the rest. Furniture, boxes in the basement, a garage full of things nobody’s touched in years — I handle the cleanout.
Tenants Are Fine
You don’t have to give notice or wait out a lease. I buy tenant-occupied houses and take the property with the tenants in place.
What Selling for Cash Actually Gets You
Speed and certainty. That’s the honest answer. You’ll get less than a fully repaired house would fetch on the open market, and in exchange you skip the repairs, the showings, the commission, and the chance of a buyer’s financing collapsing two days before closing.
For a lot of Hazel Park sellers that trade is worth it — especially when the house needs work, the taxes are behind, or nobody’s living in it and the bills keep coming. For others it isn’t, and I’ll tell you that directly rather than push you into a deal.
Getting a number costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Compare it against what an agent tells you and make the call that fits your situation.
I Handle Everything After You Say Yes
Selling to Money Team Properties is meant to be the easy part of a hard situation. Repairs, cleaning, hauling things out, title work, paperwork — that’s all on me. You show up to closing and get paid.
Hazel Park Home Sellers – Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you buy my house in Hazel Park?
Most of my closings land around two weeks after we sign. The fastest I’ve ever closed was three days. Because I pay cash there’s no lender, no appraisal, and no financing contingency — so the timeline is really just how fast title work clears and what date you want.
Do I need a certificate of occupancy to sell my house in Hazel Park?
Not for an ordinary resale. Hazel Park does not issue a certificate of occupancy when a house changes hands, so there’s no pre-sale city inspection to pass. That’s simpler than several neighboring Oakland County cities. Rules do change, so confirm with the Hazel Park Building Department before you rely on it.
My Hazel Park house has been sitting empty. Does that change anything?
Yes. Hazel Park requires any property vacant more than 30 days to be registered with the City Clerk. The fee is $200, registration lasts six months, and the house has to be inspected before anyone can move back in. It doesn’t stop a sale, but it’s a step people don’t find out about until late. I’ve dealt with vacant properties before and can work through it with you.
Can you buy my Hazel Park rental with tenants still in it?
Yes. You don’t need to give notice, wait out a lease, or get the place empty. Roughly a third of occupied homes in Hazel Park are rentals, and every one needs a city landlord license with an inspection every other year — if you’re tired of that cycle, I’ll take the property as it stands.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my house in Hazel Park?
No. I buy Hazel Park houses exactly as they are — no cleaning, no repairs, no painting. Leave behind anything you don’t want. Everything after closing is handled on my end.
Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to Money Team Properties?
None. I pay all closing costs. There are no agent commissions and no hidden fees. The cash offer I make is the full amount you walk away with at closing.
