Read more about me, or see how my process works.
Money Team Properties is a cash home buyer for Redford Township and the rest of Wayne County. Redford was one of my busiest markets before 2022, with heavy seller call volume and several closed deals, so I know how houses here get bought and sold.
There’s no obligation and no pressure. I cover the standard closing costs, including Michigan’s transfer tax, so the offer isn’t chipped away by fees at the closing table. Any mortgage or lien payoff still comes out of the sale price, as it would in any sale.
A Redford Cash Home Buyer With Family Roots Here
I’m Aaron. I was born and raised in Detroit, and I founded Money Team Properties in 2012. You deal with me directly, from your first message to the closing table. Redford is personal: my grandmother moved here from Detroit and lived on Negaunee Street, my son played elementary and middle school basketball games here, I got my first traffic ticket in Redford, and I still drive Beech Daly Road all the time. When I buy your house, I handle the repairs, the cleanout, and the standard closing costs. You don’t list it on the MLS, and you don’t host a single showing.
Curious what I’d pay? Getting an offer costs nothing. Compare it with listing, with other buyers, or with keeping the house, and then decide. Want to know more first? Learn more about me and how I work.

Sell My House Fast in Redford: What Sellers Here Should Know
Plenty of cash home buyers in Redford will send you a number. Before you pick one, here’s what actually shapes a sale in this township, pulled from Redford Township’s own forms and public records, plus what I know from years of buying here.
Redford is a township, not a city
Redford Township, which almost everyone just calls Redford, is a charter township in Wayne County with about 49,500 residents as of the 2020 census and two ZIP codes, 48239 and 48240. It shares a border with Detroit. The name comes from a river crossing: Native people and early European settlers forded the River Rouge here, and rouge is French for red. The river is still part of the township. Its middle branch runs through Lola Valley Park, and another Rouge branch flows through Bell Creek Park and Western Golf Club.
Redford once reached east to Greenfield Road, until Detroit annexed that land in the 1920s. That’s why a few Detroit neighborhoods still use the Redford name. If your tax bill says Detroit, the house is in the city, not the township, and different offices handle it.
Why so many Redford houses need work
Redford grew fast after World War II. The census counted about 19,000 residents in 1950 and more than 71,000 by 1960, so a big share of the township’s houses date from that same decade and are now well over 60 years old. Houses that age often need a roof, furnace, electrical, or plumbing work before a buyer’s lender will sign off on a loan. A cash sale skips the lender, so none of that has to be fixed first. Depending on the street, a Redford house sits in the Redford Union, South Redford, or Clarenceville school district.
Two township registrations that can affect your sale
Redford Township’s Building and Safety Engineering office, at 12200 Beech Daly Road, runs two registrations sellers should know about. Rentals have to be registered: the township’s form lists a $50 yearly fee and a $200 inspection every three years, or $250 for a new rental. Vacant buildings have their own registration, and that form lists a $100 registration fee plus a $200 inspection fee.
I’ve bought vacant houses in Redford myself. I haven’t closed a tenant-occupied one here, so the rental details above come from the township’s paperwork, not my own deals. Fees change, so call (313) 387-2680 to confirm them. If you’re planning to list with an agent, ask that office whether the township requires anything before an ordinary sale.
Paperwork and taxes after a Redford sale
After any sale, the buyer files a Property Transfer Affidavit with the Township Assessor at Township Hall, 15145 Beech Daly Road. The assessor’s office also explains that a home’s taxable value uncaps the year after it sells, so in a rising market a new owner’s tax bill can run higher than the one you’ve been paying. That matters when a buyer’s lender is working out whether they can afford the payment. When I’m the buyer, the filing and the new tax bill are mine to handle.
Wayne County rules for back taxes and probate
Unpaid Redford property taxes don’t stay with the township forever. They’re eventually turned over to the Wayne County Treasurer, and Michigan law allows a home to be foreclosed for unpaid taxes, usually about three years after the taxes first go unpaid. Estates are handled by the Wayne County Probate Court, not the Third Circuit Court. I’ve closed multiple Wayne County probate sales, so an inherited Redford house with estate paperwork still in progress isn’t a problem for me.

Sell Your Redford House for Cash Without Repairs, Agents, or Fees
When you sell your house to me for cash, you don’t fix anything first. I buy it in as-is condition and take care of the repairs after closing.
If you list your Redford house with an agent, expect showings, a buyer’s inspection, and a wait for their loan to clear. Selling to me skips all of that.
The number on my written offer is the price. As a local cash home buyer, I charge no commissions or fees, and I cover the standard closing costs.

Six Things You Get When You Sell to Me for Cash
Here’s what selling your Redford house for cash looks like in practice.
Competitive Cash Offer
My offer is based on what your house would be worth fixed up, what it needs, and recent Redford sales, and I’ll walk you through how I got there. A cash offer is usually below full retail value; in exchange you get speed, certainty, and no repairs. You’re never obligated to accept.
Close When You Want
You pick the closing date. Closings can happen in as little as 3 days, and most take 7 to 14. Need a few weeks to move out? That works too.
No Repair Needed
We know you may be sitting in your home right now, stressed while you think about everything that must be fixed as your house shows its age. We’ll take care of those repairs after we buy it.
No Commissions Or Fees
We receive testimonials and positive reviews from clients because of our quality customer service, and they’re also so happy we don’t charge commissions or fees.
No Need To Clean
Is the house full of stuff, or not in shape for company? Don’t worry about it. Take what you want to keep, and I’ll handle the cleanout after closing.
We Buy In As-Is Condition
When we say we offer to buy houses in as-is condition, we mean it. There is no cleaning or repair. Just take what you want, and we’ll handle everything else.
Cash Sale or Listing: Which Fits Your Redford House?
Listing with an agent usually gets the highest price, if the house is in good shape and you have time to wait for a buyer’s loan to close. Selling to me for cash usually means a lower price, but no repairs, no showings, no commissions, and a closing date you choose.
The right answer depends on the house and your timeline. If your Redford house needs work, is vacant, has tenants, or is tied up in an estate, a cash sale often makes more sense. If it’s move-in ready and you aren’t in a hurry, listing may put more money in your pocket, and I’ll tell you so.
Here’s how the two options compare, followed by what a typical listing can cost.
Cash Sale vs. Listing, Side by Side
| Selling to Me for Cash | Listing With an Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs before closing | None. I buy as-is | Often requested by the buyer or lender |
| Showings | One walkthrough | Open houses and repeated showings |
| Commission | None | Usually paid by the seller (amount is negotiable) |
| Transfer tax and standard closing costs | I cover them | Usually paid by the seller |
| Financing risk | None. It is a cash purchase | The buyer’s loan can fall through |
| Closing timeline | As little as 3 days; most take 7 to 14 | Set by the buyer’s loan approval |
| Houses that need major work | I buy them as they are | Can be hard for buyers to finance |
| Sale price | Usually below full retail value | Usually closer to full retail value |
What a $150,000 Redford sale can cost when you list
Say your Redford house would sell for $150,000 on the open market. At a 5% total commission (commissions are negotiable), you’d pay $7,500. Michigan’s transfer tax is $8.60 for every $1,000 of the sale price ($7.50 state plus $1.10 county), which adds $1,290. Then add title fees, any repairs the buyer’s inspector or lender asks for, and the taxes, insurance, and utilities you keep paying while the house sits on the market.
When you sell to me, there’s no commission, and I cover the transfer tax and standard closing costs. The only things that come out of my written offer are your own mortgage or lien payoffs. Want to see your own numbers? Fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

Redford Home Sellers’ Questions, Answered
How fast can you close on a house in Redford?
As fast as 3 days when the title is clean. Most of my closings take 7 to 14 days, and some take up to a month when probate, liens, or other title paperwork has to be sorted out first. You pick the closing date, so if you need a few weeks to move, that works too.
Is Redford a city or a township?
Redford is a charter township in Wayne County, even though most people just call it Redford. It uses two ZIP codes, 48239 and 48240. A few Detroit neighborhoods also carry the Redford name, so check your tax bill: if it says Detroit, your house is in the City of Detroit, and different local offices handle it.
Do I have to fix anything before I sell my Redford house to you?
No. I buy Redford houses as-is, including old roofs, worn-out furnaces, and basements full of stuff, and I handle the repairs after closing. If you plan to list with an agent instead, call Redford Township Building and Safety Engineering at (313) 387-2680 first and ask what, if anything, the township requires before a sale.
Can I sell my Redford rental with tenants still living there?
Yes. I buy rental houses with tenants in place. Redford Township requires landlords to register rentals, and its registration form lists a $50 yearly fee and a $200 inspection every three years, or $250 for a new rental. I haven’t closed a tenant-occupied house in Redford myself, so confirm the current rules with the township.
My Redford house is vacant. Does that change anything?
Not for me. I’ve bought vacant houses in Redford before. The township does have a vacant building registration, and its form lists a $100 registration fee plus a $200 inspection fee. Ask Building and Safety Engineering whether your house needs to be registered, and know that I’ll make an offer either way.
I inherited a house in Redford. How does probate affect a sale?
Redford is in Wayne County, so estates go through the Wayne County Probate Court, not the Third Circuit Court. In most cases, the person the court appoints to handle the estate needs court-issued authority before signing a sale. I’ve closed multiple Wayne County probate sales and can line up the purchase so we close as soon as the paperwork allows.
I’m behind on my property taxes. Can I still sell?
Yes. Back taxes are paid out of the sale price at closing. Unpaid Redford property taxes are eventually turned over to the Wayne County Treasurer, and under Michigan law a house can be foreclosed for unpaid taxes, usually about three years after the taxes first go unpaid. Selling before that point keeps the equity in your hands.
Who files the transfer paperwork with Redford Township?
The buyer does. After a sale, the new owner files a Property Transfer Affidavit (Form 2766) with the Township Assessor’s Office at Township Hall, 15145 Beech Daly Road, plus a Principal Residence Exemption affidavit (Form 2368) if they will live in the house. When I’m the buyer, that’s my job, not yours.
Do you charge fees or commissions?
No. There’s no commission and no fee to get an offer or to sell. I also cover the standard closing costs, including Michigan’s transfer tax. If you have a mortgage or liens, those are paid off from the sale price at closing, the same as in any sale.
How do you figure out your offer?
I look at what the house would be worth fixed up, what it needs, recent sales in Redford, and my costs to repair and hold it. Then I walk you through the math. A cash offer is usually below full retail value; what you get in return is speed, certainty, and no repairs, showings, or fees.
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. The offer is free and comes with no obligation. Compare it with listing, with other buyers, or with keeping the house, and take the option that fits your situation best, even if that isn’t me.
Why should I trust you with my Redford house?
I founded Money Team Properties in 2012, I have a 4.9-star rating on Google, and I have never voluntarily backed out of a signed purchase agreement. Redford is also personal for me: my grandmother lived on Negaunee Street, and I’ve spent a lot of time here over the years.
