"I know the Wausau market is unique. I know driving US-51 to Green Bay is a grind. I see Ranch homes dealing with Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels or strict Strict Historic Preservation guidelines. Unlike Coldwell Banker Action, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $14,400 in commissions. We handle the Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) and Marathon County Assessor's Office paperwork for you."
- Max Cohen, Founder MyFastCashOffer

Navigating the probate process after inheriting a property in Marathon County can be complex and time-consuming. In Wisconsin, the judicial probate process involves several steps, including proving the will, appointing a personal representative, inventorying assets, paying debts, and distributing property. This process can typically take 6 to 12 months, or even longer depending on the estate's complexity and court schedules at the Marathon County Clerk of Courts. Delays are common, especially with property titles that require clear ownership transfer.
If you've inherited a house in Wausau that you don't want to maintain, live in, or prepare for the traditional market, a cash offer can bypass these delays. We can purchase the property directly from the estate, even before probate is fully finalized (with court approval), offering a quick and clean transaction. This saves executors and heirs significant stress, legal fees, and the burden of property upkeep during a difficult time.
Facing foreclosure in Wisconsin is a serious challenge, but you have options. Wisconsin is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender must go through the court system to foreclose on a property. The process typically begins with a Notice of Default, giving you about 30 days to cure the default. After this, a lawsuit is filed, and the court process can take 6-12 months or more. During this time, the property owner retains possession and may have a right of redemption.
Selling your Wausau house for cash to MyFastCashOffer can stop the foreclosure process by providing the funds necessary to pay off the mortgage before a sheriff's sale. We can act quickly, often closing in 7-14 days, which is often enough time to prevent further legal action and protect your credit. Don't wait until it's too late; contacting us as soon as possible allows us to work with you to find a solution.
Many older homes in Wausau, particularly those built as Ranch style residences from 1950-1980, come with inherent issues like aging infrastructure or unpermitted modifications. A common concern for these homes is the presence of Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, which are known fire hazards and often require expensive replacement to meet current safety codes. Selling a house with such a defect on the open market typically means either paying for the repair upfront or significant price reductions during negotiations.
We buy properties with code violations, unpermitted work, and known material defects like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels. You don't need to retrofit, upgrade, or get permits for past work. We understand the costs and complexities involved, and our cash offer reflects the property's true value as-is, allowing you to sell without the headache of contractors, inspections, and city approvals.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost Range | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels Replacement | $1,500 - $4,000 | Included in Offer |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $15,000+ | Included in Offer |
| Foundation Repair | $5,000 - $20,000+ | Included in Offer |
Max's Insight:
