We’re Actively Buying Homes Across Central Wisconsin
I’m Carter Crowley. My dad Bryan and I run CB Home Solutions out of Oshkosh, and over the past year we’ve been actively expanding into central Wisconsin. In 2025 alone, we closed 6 deals in this region — in Wausau, Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, Plover, Waupaca, and Rosholt. This isn’t a market we’re testing — it’s a market we’re committed to.
If you own a home in any of the communities on this page, we can make you a cash offer based on the property’s current condition. No repairs, no showings, no waiting months for a buyer’s financing to come through. You choose when to close and leave behind anything you don’t want.
I’ll be straightforward: if your home is in good shape and you’re not in a rush, listing with an agent will usually get you a higher price. I hold an active Wisconsin real estate license (License #81027-94), and I can help you evaluate which path makes more financial sense. A cash sale works best when the property needs significant work, when you’re settling an estate, or when you need the certainty of a guaranteed close on a set date.
Communities Where We Buy Homes
Wausau & Weston
Wausau is the largest city in central Wisconsin with nearly 40,000 residents, and neighboring Weston adds another 15,000+. The housing stock in Wausau’s core neighborhoods — particularly near the river along Grand Ave, McClellan St, and the older residential streets south of downtown — dates back to the early 1900s. We purchased a property on Blazing Star St in Wausau that had sat vacant for over 10 years with mold and water damage throughout — the owners had health issues and couldn’t manage the renovation. That’s the kind of property we specialize in. Weston’s housing tends to be newer but still includes plenty of 1970s–1990s homes with deferred maintenance. Rib Mountain rounds out the Wausau metro with a mix of housing that includes older homes needing updates.
Stevens Point & Plover
Stevens Point has a solid mix of older homes near the university and downtown area, plus more affordable housing throughout. We purchased a rental property on Clark St in Stevens Point where tenants had done significant wear and tear over the years — the owner needed an as-is sale and was firm on his price. We made it work. Plover, just south of Stevens Point along I-39, is where we’ve been most active — two deals closed here in 2025, including a property on Shady Dr that sat on 9 acres and had been in the same family for over 50 years (see the case study below). Both communities have homeowners who reach out to us because they want a sale that doesn’t require months of preparation.
Wisconsin Rapids & Marshfield
Wisconsin Rapids’ housing stock reflects its paper mill heritage — homes built for workers in the mid-1900s, many along the Wisconsin River. These homes share the same challenges we see across the state: aging mechanicals, deferred roofing, and floor plans that don’t meet modern expectations. Marshfield, about 30 minutes west, is a healthcare-driven economy with a range of housing from downtown-area older homes to suburban development. In both communities, homes that need significant work can sit on the market for extended periods because the buyer pool for as-is properties is small. We’re the buyers those homeowners are looking for.
Waupaca, Rosholt & Surrounding Areas
Waupaca sits along the Waupaca River with a charming downtown and surrounding residential areas that include a mix of older homes and lake-adjacent properties. We closed a deal here in 2025 from an owner who’d lived in the home for 20+ years and couldn’t afford to maintain it anymore. In Rosholt, we purchased a property from Judy — she was moving into a 55+ apartment and the house was a hoarding situation with significant cleanup needs. Mosinee, Nekoosa, and the smaller communities along the I-39 corridor and Wisconsin River are all within our coverage area. If your property is anywhere in central Wisconsin, we’ll make the drive to come see it.
A Recent Plover Purchase — Robert’s Story
Here’s a real example of how we helped a central Wisconsin homeowner.
5753 Shady Dr, Plover, WI 54467
Robert was interested in downsizing and getting into a property with less maintenance. His home sat on 9 acres and had been in his family for over 50 years. The property was in rough condition with several items needing attention, and Robert didn’t have the financial ability or the desire to make the renovations. He just wanted to sell, pay off all debts, and move into something newer and less maintenance-intensive.
We provided Robert an offer the same day we walked through the property, and then closed on his house before he had to buy his next home. This allowed him to use all the funds from the sale to make a smooth transition into his new place — no overlap, no carrying two properties at once, no stress.
“I worked with Carter at CB Home Solutions to sell my house and some additional land. He was fair and honest and a pleasure to work with.” — Robert Steinke

What Sellers Say About Us
We have 85+ reviews on our Oshkosh Google Business Profile and additional reviews on our Milwaukee profile.
“When I needed help in selling my brothers home after he passed I came across a website of a company that bought homes in ‘Distressed’ condition. The company was CB Home Solutions LLC. I filled in my information requesting a call back and within 15 minutes I was contacted. They set up an appointment to view the house and at the end of the visit they made an offer which was significantly more than the others that I had received prior. They set up a timeline in which I agreed to and the understanding that what I couldn’t get out just to leave and they would take care of it. All of the closing costs in my instance were covered by the buyer and I paid nothing. My representative contacted me often to ask if I had any questions or concerns as we moved forward. They made what I thought was a daunting task of selling the property, seem effortless. I would use their company again if needed and would recommend them to friends.” — Dennis Perschbacher
