We Buy Houses in Green Bay — Here’s Who We Are
I’m Carter Crowley. My dad Bryan and I started CB Home Solutions in 2015 out of Oshkosh, and over the past decade we’ve expanded throughout Wisconsin — including Green Bay, where we’ve purchased multiple homes in recent years. If you need to sell your home in Green Bay quickly, we buy houses for cash, in any condition, and we close on your schedule.
Green Bay is a market we know well. A lot of the calls we get are from homeowners on the east side who’ve been in their homes for decades and are dealing with deferred maintenance they can’t keep up with — or from adult children who just inherited a parent’s house and don’t know where to start. We’ve walked through houses with leaking roofs, flooded basements, and rooms you can barely get into. None of that scares us off. That’s the business we’re in.
That said, I want to be upfront: selling your house fast to a cash home buyer isn’t the best option for everyone. If your home is in decent shape and you’re not under time pressure, listing on the open market with an agent will usually net you more. I hold an active Wisconsin real estate license (License #81027-94), so I can help you figure out what your house is actually worth and whether a cash sale or a traditional listing makes more sense. We’d rather tell you the truth and lose a deal than have you feel like you didn’t get a fair shake.
Here’s How The Process Works
Step 1: Reach Out
Call us at (920) 215-4201 or fill out the short form at the top of this page. We’ll ask some basic questions about the property — location, condition, your timeline. Takes about five minutes. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Step 2: We Walk the Property
We schedule a time to come see the house in person. We’re looking at the structure, the systems, the overall scope of work — everything we’d need to know to renovate it after we buy it. This isn’t an inspection or an appraisal. It’s just us figuring out what we’re working with. We’ve walked through houses with rooms stacked floor-to-ceiling with belongings, and houses where the only thing working was the front door. There’s no condition we haven’t seen.
Step 3: Cash Offer, No Strings
Typically the same day or the next morning, we’ll present a written cash offer. We’ll also tell you what we think the home could fetch on the open market if you went the traditional route — because we want you to have both numbers before making a decision. No expiration date on the offer. No follow-up calls pressuring you to sign.
Step 4: Close on Your Timeline
If you accept, you pick the closing date. We’ve closed in as little as two weeks when sellers needed to move fast. We’ve also waited months for sellers who needed time to find their next place. We handle the title work and cover the closing costs. You walk away with cash — no agent commissions, no last-minute surprises.
A Recent Green Bay Purchase
3911 Lloyd St, Green Bay, WI
James’s story: James inherited this home from his father. By the time the estate was settled, the house had become a hoarding situation — years of accumulated belongings in every room. On top of that, the roof was leaking, the basement had water issues, and several windows needed replacing. James didn’t live nearby and didn’t have the time or resources to clean it out, make repairs, and list it traditionally.
What we did: We walked the property with James, assessed the full scope of work — from the cleanout to the structural repairs — and gave him a cash offer that accounted for everything. He didn’t have to touch a thing. We handled the cleanout, closed on his timeline, and he was able to move forward without the house hanging over him.
We also recently purchased a home at 1118 Mather St in Green Bay. Every house has a different story, but the process is the same — we come see it, we make a fair cash offer, and we close when you’re ready.
Common Challenges Green Bay Homeowners Face
Green Bay has a lot of homes built in the 1940s through 1970s — especially on the east side and in neighborhoods near the Fox River. Many of these are solid houses that were built for mill workers and factory employees, but after 50-plus years, the big-ticket items start going. Furnaces, roofing, electrical panels, plumbing — the repairs stack up fast, and for homeowners on a fixed income or approaching retirement, the math just doesn’t work anymore. If the cost of getting your house “market ready” is more than you’d gain from a higher sale price, selling your house for cash can make more sense.
We also get calls from homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments and need to act quickly before things get worse. In Green Bay, where property values haven’t exploded the way they have in some parts of the state, there’s less of a cushion. A cash sale with a fast closing can help you avoid foreclosure, walk away with equity in hand, and start fresh. We’ve helped homeowners in that exact situation more than once.
Then there are the fixer-uppers. Green Bay has no shortage of them. Homeowners who started renovation projects they couldn’t finish, landlords whose rental properties have been run down by tenants, or houses that have just been sitting vacant and deteriorating. We buy all of them. As cash home buyers in Green Bay, we have our own renovation crews and know exactly what it costs to bring a house back — which is why we can make offers that other buyers can’t.

“Carter and his team were absolutely incredible when they bought my mom’s house. We were mourning the loss of my mom. Carter came over and treated us with such compassion and care. We didn’t know anything about selling my mom’s house and he walked with us through every step. We would recommend CB Home Solutions to anyone wanting to sell their house quickly and easily. Thanks again Carter!!” — Sherri Simmons
“Was looking to sell my father’s house, after he passed away, contacted CB Home Solutions by Email and received a response right away. I worked with Joe, he came to the house to walk thru, took lots of pictures and made me an offer in a few days. Accepted the offer, which I thought was fair for as is sale. Joe kept me informed thru out the process and everything went smoothly.” — Darin Duffy
We’re Carter and Bryan Crowley — father and son. We started CB Home Solutions in 2015 out of Oshkosh, and we’ve been buying and renovating houses across Wisconsin ever since — including here in Green Bay and throughout Brown County.
Carter runs acquisitions and works directly with sellers. He holds Wisconsin Real Estate License #81027-94 with Realty One Group Haven — which means he can walk you through both a cash offer and a traditional listing and tell you which one actually makes sense for your situation. Bryan manages our renovation crews and oversees every project from demo to final walkthrough.
Between us, we’ve been involved in over 300 transactions across the state. We’re not a national company or a call center — when you call our number, you’re talking to the people who actually show up, make the offer, and buy the house. Verify our BBB accreditation here, or visit our About page to learn more about how we got started.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide what to offer for my house?
We look at what similar homes in your area have sold for recently, then subtract the cost of repairs and renovations we’d need to do. We work with local contractors we’ve used for years, so we have a good handle on what things actually cost. Our goal is to make an offer that works for both of us — if the numbers don’t make sense for you, we’d rather tell you that upfront. You can also read our guide to the costs of selling a home in Wisconsin to understand the full picture.
Do I have to clean out the house before you buy it?
No. We buy houses as-is, and that includes whatever is inside them. We’ve purchased homes with full basements, garages packed with decades of belongings, and everything in between. If there are personal items you want to take with you, grab what matters to you and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if I live out of state and can’t be there for closing?
That’s completely fine. We’ve closed deals with sellers in other states using remote online notarization. You don’t have to be physically present in Green Bay for any of it. We coordinate with the title company to handle everything remotely so you can sign from wherever you are.
Is your offer negotiable?
We try to put our best number forward the first time because we don’t want to start low and play negotiation games. That said, if you have information we didn’t factor in — like a recent roof replacement or updated mechanicals — we’ll absolutely take another look. We want you to feel good about the number, not like you left money on the table.
