We Buy Houses in Fond du Lac — Trusted, Local Cash Home Buyers
I’m Carter Crowley. My dad Bryan and I started CB Home Solutions in 2015 out of Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac has been one of our most active markets since the beginning. If you need to sell your home in Fond du Lac quickly, we pay cash, buy houses as-is, and close on whatever timeline works for you.
We’ve bought several properties across the city — from older homes near downtown to houses out on the county roads. What we hear from most sellers in Fond du Lac is that they’re dealing with a situation where a traditional listing just doesn’t make sense. Maybe the house needs more work than it’s worth putting in. Maybe there’s a tenant situation that’s turned into a headache. Maybe you inherited a place and just want it handled. Whatever it is, we’ve probably seen it before.
I want to be upfront about something: selling your house fast to a cash home buyer isn’t always the best move. I hold an active Wisconsin real estate license (License #81027-94), so I can tell you what your home could realistically sell for on the open market and help you compare that to a cash offer. If listing traditionally would put more money in your pocket, I’ll tell you that — and I can even list it for you. We’d rather you make the right decision than a fast one.
What Happens When You Contact Us
Step 1: Tell Us About the Property
Call us at (920) 215-4580 or fill out the form at the top of this page. We’ll ask a few questions — where the property is, what shape it’s in, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. Five-minute conversation, no commitment.
Step 2: We Come See It
We schedule a walkthrough at a time that works for you. We look at the structure, the mechanicals, and figure out what it would cost us to renovate. This isn’t an appraisal — it’s just us seeing what we’re working with so we can make you a real number.
Step 3: You Get a Written Offer
Usually the same day, sometimes the next morning. It’s a real number on paper — not a range. We’ll also walk you through what the home might sell for if you listed with an agent, so you can see both options side by side. No games, no expiring deadlines.
Step 4: You Pick the Closing Date
We buy with cash, so there’s no bank involved and no financing that might fall through. We’ve closed in as little as two weeks. We handle the title work and closing costs. You walk away with cash — no agent commissions, no surprises at the table.
Fond du Lac Properties We’ve Recently Purchased
272 S Park Ave, Fond du Lac — Before & After
A Fond du Lac purchase we completed recently. We bought this home as-is, handled the full renovation, and brought it back to market. This is what we do — we take on the properties that traditional buyers pass on, and we turn them into homes again.
372 Evergreen Ave, Fond du Lac
The owner of this property had been renting it out, but the tenant stopped paying — six months of missed rent with no end in sight. The eviction process in Wisconsin can be slow, and the owner didn’t have the energy or the funds to go through it while the house sat producing nothing. She reached out to us because she wanted to get cash for her house and move on. We bought it as-is, handled the situation with the tenant after closing, and fully renovated the property.
W3465 County Road Q, Fond du Lac
We also purchased a property for Gary out on W3465 County Rd Q in the Fond du Lac area. Gary had lived in his house for 15 years and was moving into an apartment. He didn’t want to deal with repairs or listing — he just wanted a clean sale. We made him a cash offer and closed when he was ready. Every house is different, but the approach is the same.
When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Fond du Lac
Not every situation calls for a cash sale — but some situations almost always do. Here’s when homeowners in Fond du Lac tend to reach out to us:
Your rental property has become a money pit. We hear this a lot in Fond du Lac. A tenant stops paying, damages the property, or you’re just tired of managing it. Evicting, repairing, and re-listing takes months and thousands of dollars. If you’d rather sell your rental property and walk away clean, we can make that happen. The 372 Evergreen Ave deal above was exactly this — owner hadn’t collected rent in six months.
You’re behind on payments and running out of time. Fond du Lac home values have been relatively stable, but that also means there isn’t always a huge equity cushion to work with. If you’re facing foreclosure or falling behind on your mortgage, a quick cash sale can help you preserve whatever equity you have rather than losing it entirely.
The house needs more work than it’s worth. A lot of homes in Fond du Lac were built in the 50s and 60s. Foundations settle, roofing wears out, electrical and plumbing need updating. If you’re looking at $30,000 or more in repairs just to sell your house for cash on the open market, the math may actually favor selling as-is to a buyer like us who already has the crews and contractors lined up.
You’re downsizing, relocating, or settling an estate. Gary’s situation — 15 years in the house, ready to move into something simpler — is one we see regularly. So is the scenario where an adult child inherits a property and just needs it dealt with. We handle everything, including cleanouts, so you don’t have to make a dozen trips back and forth.
If you’re not sure whether your situation fits, call us and we’ll talk through it. As cash home buyers in Fond du Lac, we’ve seen just about every scenario — and if a cash sale isn’t the right move for you, we’ll help you figure out what is.
Honest Reviews Of CB Home Solutions
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.8 stars from 85+ verified Google reviews — see them all on our Google Business Profile
“My wife and I retired and planned to move out of state to be with family. We had an accepted offer on a house, so it was time to get rid of the old one. Unfortunately, our home of 38 years, while comfortable and very functional, had several issues that would make selling difficult and would certainly cause significant delay and expense. Carter and his team made a fair offer that allowed us to move on to the next phase of our lives without delay.” — FzWz
“Carter and CB Home Solutions did an AMAZING job!!! I would highly recommend them! This was my first time selling a house and Carter kept me informed every step of the way. Every question that I had was answered very promptly. My house needs a lot of work and they still gave me a fair offer. Again I highly recommend to use them.” — Wendy Menzel

Questions Fond du Lac Homeowners Ask Us
Will you buy my house if it has a tenant in it?
Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants still in place all the time. You don’t need to handle the eviction or wait until the lease is up. We take over the property — and the tenant situation — at closing. Whether the tenant is paying, behind on rent, or not cooperating, we’ve dealt with it before. Visit our rental property page for more details.
How fast can you actually close?
As fast as two weeks if you need to move quickly. Most of our closings in Fond du Lac happen within three to four weeks, but we work on your timeline — not ours. If you need more time to find your next place or sort out logistics, that’s fine. We’ve waited months for sellers who needed the flexibility.
What if the house has foundation or structural problems?
We still buy it. We have contractors who handle foundation work, and we factor the repair cost into our offer. You don’t need to fix anything — that’s the whole point of selling as-is. We’ve purchased houses with cracked foundations, failing retaining walls, and major structural issues. We know what those repairs cost and build them into the numbers.
Do you buy houses in Waupun, Ripon, and other towns near Fond du Lac?
Yes. We buy throughout Fond du Lac County — Waupun, Ripon, Lomira, Mayville, Chilton, and the surrounding areas. The same process applies: call us, we come see it, we make an offer. If you’ve got a property anywhere in the county, give us a call at (920) 215-4580.

We Also Buy Homes All Across Fond du Lac County
Our Fond du Lac office serves the entire county — not just the city. If you have a property in any of these communities, the process is the same: call us, we come see it, and we make you a cash offer.
Waupun — Straddles Fond du Lac and Dodge counties. We’ve looked at several properties in Waupun over the years, and the housing stock runs the full range — from well-maintained homes near downtown to older farmhouses on the outskirts that need significant work. If you’re trying to sell a house in Waupun without making repairs, we can help.
Ripon — A smaller market, but we’re active here. Ripon has a lot of homes built in the early-to-mid 1900s that are reaching the point where the major systems need replacing. For homeowners who don’t want to sink $20,000 into a house they’re planning to leave anyway, a cash sale is often the cleaner path.
Campbellsport — We recently purchased and renovated a property on Hwy 45 in Campbellsport. It’s a rural area where listing with an agent can mean months on the market. If you’d rather skip the wait, we buy homes out here too.
Mayville, Lomira, Chilton, New Holstein, and Horicon — We serve all of these communities. Whether it’s a house in town or a property out on a county road, if it’s in Fond du Lac County, we’ll come take a look. The smaller the town, the harder it can be to find a buyer on the open market — which is exactly where a cash offer makes the most sense.
