Sheboygan Homeowners — Here’s What We Do
My name is Carter Crowley. My dad Bryan and I own CB Home Solutions — we’re a family real estate company that’s been buying homes across Wisconsin since 2015. We buy houses for cash in Sheboygan and throughout Sheboygan County, in any condition, on whatever timeline works for you.
Sheboygan is a city we’ve been active in for years. We’ve bought properties right here in the city — from the older neighborhoods south of downtown to the residential streets near North High School. The housing stock in Sheboygan is solid, but a lot of it dates back to the 1940s and 1950s when the manufacturing industry was booming. After 70 or 80 years, those homes start showing their age. If you’re looking to sell your home in Sheboygan without sinking money into repairs, staging, or months of uncertainty — we make it simple. One call, one walkthrough, one offer.
I want to be honest about something: if your home is in decent shape and you have time to wait, listing with a real estate agent will probably net you more money. I hold a Wisconsin real estate license (License #81027-94) with Realty One Group Haven, so I can walk you through both paths and help you figure out which one actually makes sense for your situation. We’re cash home buyers in Sheboygan, but we’d rather give you good advice than push a deal that doesn’t work for you.
Three Steps to a Cash Offer
Step 1: Reach Out
Fill out the form at the top of this page or call us at (920) 215-4201. We’ll ask a few basic questions about your property — address, general condition, and how soon you’d like to sell. No commitment, no pressure. Takes about five minutes.
Step 2: We Come Take a Look
We schedule a walkthrough at a time that works for you. We’re looking at the structure, the mechanicals, the roof, the foundation — everything that goes into determining what it’ll cost us to renovate after we buy. We’ve walked homes with major foundation problems, smoke damage, outdated everything, and worse. Nothing catches us off guard at this point.
Step 3: Get Your Offer and Choose Your Closing Date
We present a written cash offer — usually the same day we see the property. It’s a real number, not a range. We’ll also share what we think the home might bring on the open market so you can compare. If you accept, you pick the closing date. We cover closing costs and handle the title work. We’ve closed deals in as little as two weeks, and we’ve waited months when the seller needed more time. Your schedule, your call.
A Recent Sheboygan Home We Bought on North 21st Street
3108 N 21st St, Sheboygan, WI — Downsizing Into a 55+ Community
The owners of this home had lived there for years and kept it clean, but time had taken its toll on the house itself. The roof was past its useful life, the windows were original single-pane, and the interior hadn’t been updated in decades. The kitchen and bathrooms were functional but dated — the kind of house that looks livable from the inside but would scare off any buyer who runs a home inspection.
On top of the deferred maintenance, the owners’ health was declining. They’d made the decision to move into a 55+ apartment community and needed to sell without the burden of renovation or a drawn-out listing process. At their stage of life, the last thing they needed was contractors tearing through the house for months while they tried to coordinate a move.
We walked the property, assessed the full scope of work — roof replacement, window upgrades, full interior modernization — and made them a cash offer that reflected the home’s current condition. They didn’t have to fix a thing. We handled all the paperwork, let them choose a closing date that aligned with their move into the new apartment, and they were able to focus entirely on their next chapter. If you’re in a similar position with an aging home you can’t keep up with, we’ve seen this situation many times and we can help. Learn more about selling a home as-is in Wisconsin.
Cash Sale vs. Traditional Listing — What’s the Honest Difference?
We believe in giving you the full picture. Here’s how selling to us compares to listing your Sheboygan home with an agent on the open market:
| Sell to CB Home Solutions | List with a Real Estate Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | Close in as little as 2 weeks | 3–6 months on average in Sheboygan |
| Repairs needed | None — we buy as-is | Most buyers expect move-in ready |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Seller typically pays 1–3% |
| Agent commissions | $0 | 5–6% of sale price |
| Showings & staging | None | Multiple showings over weeks/months |
| Offer certainty | Cash — no financing contingencies | Buyer’s mortgage could fall through |
| Sale price | Below market value (honest about this) | Typically higher net if home is in good shape |
| Best for | Homes needing work, time-sensitive sales, inherited/vacant properties | Homes in good condition with sellers who can wait |
The bottom line: if your home is in solid shape and you’re not in a rush, listing it will almost always get you more money. But if you’re dealing with a property that needs significant work, a complicated situation like an inheritance or a tax lien, or you simply need to sell fast — that’s where we come in. We’re upfront about the trade-off because we want you to make the decision that’s right for you, not just the one that’s right for us. Curious what your Sheboygan home might be worth?

What Sheboygan Sellers Tell Us
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.8 stars from 85+ verified Google reviews — see them all on our Google Business Profile
“Carter was excellent to work with. Very professional, as well as friendly. He followed through on everything throughout the whole process, yet didn’t pressure me in any way. We received a very fair offer and closed when we wanted to close. We had some squatters in the residence and he dealt with them in a professional manner while continuing to follow through on his promises. This was my first time dealing with a cash offer and it was seamless.” — Roxanne Scheel
“Carter was amazing to work with. Very willing to help in anything that we needed. We lived in the house Carter bought for 14 years so, it took us time to find a new house and then move. He was very patient and understanding through everything. And made the whole experience very easy. I highly recommend him.” — Mary Olson
Properties and Situations We Handle
We buy houses in Sheboygan in virtually any condition and for any reason. Here are some of the most common situations where homeowners reach out to us:
Homes with years of deferred maintenance. Outdated kitchens, failing roofs, old plumbing, original windows — when the cost of fixing up a house exceeds what you’d gain by listing it, a cash sale makes more sense. We buy these properties all the time. If the repairs include structural or foundation issues, that’s fine too — we’ve handled it before.
Inherited property or an estate situation. Settling a loved one’s estate is already emotionally draining. When there’s a house to deal with — especially one that needs work or is full of belongings — the last thing most families want is a drawn-out listing process. We buy inherited homes as-is, including ones still going through probate.
Rental properties that aren’t worth keeping. Sheboygan has a lot of older rental stock. When the repair bills start stacking up and the rent doesn’t cover the costs anymore, selling for cash gets you out cleanly. We can close with tenants still in place — no need to wait for a lease to end or go through an eviction.
Health changes or downsizing. When it’s time to move into something smaller or transition into assisted living, the priority is getting settled — not managing a renovation. We see this frequently in Sheboygan, and our 3108 N 21st Street purchase above is a good example. We work around your move-in timeline so you don’t have to rush.
Homes with financial complications. Tax liens, back property taxes, code violations, or a house that’s behind on payments — these are all situations we’ve navigated before. We work through the complications so you don’t have to.
Carter and Bryan Crowley — Your Local Buyers
We’re a father-and-son team based out of Oshkosh. We started CB Home Solutions in 2015 and have purchased over 300 homes across Wisconsin — from the Milwaukee metro all the way up through the Fox Valley, Green Bay, and the lakeshore communities like Sheboygan.
Carter runs the acquisitions side and works directly with every homeowner. He holds Wisconsin Real Estate License #81027-94 with Realty One Group Haven, so he can advise on both a cash sale and a traditional listing — whichever genuinely makes more sense for your situation. Bryan oversees every renovation project from start to finish, managing our local crews and making sure every home we flip is done right.
When you call, you’re talking to us — not a call center, not a wholesaler, not a middleman. We’re the people who actually buy the house, do the work, and put it back on the market. You can verify our BBB accreditation here or visit our About page to learn more.
We Also Buy Homes Across Sheboygan County
Sheboygan isn’t the only place we’re active. We buy houses throughout Sheboygan County and the surrounding lakeshore communities — and we’ve closed deals in several of these areas.
Plymouth. We purchased a home on Hwy 67 from Deb, who was moving into senior housing. The house had significant cigarette smoke damage throughout and overgrown landscaping that had been neglected for years. None of that mattered to us — we bought it as-is and Deb was able to move on without spending a dime on repairs or cleanup. Plymouth’s housing stock is a mix of older homes near downtown and newer builds further out, and we’re comfortable buying in any part of the city.
Manitowoc. Ron inherited his mother’s home on Paul Rd and was planning to move down south. The house needed repairs throughout and had a hoarding situation that made a traditional listing impractical. We handled the entire property as-is — Ron didn’t have to clean out a thing. Manitowoc has a lot of homes built during the shipbuilding and manufacturing era, and many of them are reaching the age where the cost of updates exceeds what a traditional sale would return.
Sheboygan Falls, Howards Grove, and Oostburg. These smaller communities share the same pattern we see across the county — well-built homes from the mid-20th century that are now showing their age. Whether it’s a family home that’s been passed down, a rental that’s no longer cash-flowing, or a property that just needs more work than it’s worth putting in, we buy homes in all three communities. Sheboygan Falls in particular has a mix of older residential properties along the river and newer development on the edges of town.
Kiel and Two Rivers. Both are smaller markets where we’re actively buying. Kiel sits at the border of Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties with a housing stock that’s largely 1950s–1970s single-family homes. Two Rivers, just south of Manitowoc along the lakeshore, has a similar profile — a manufacturing history, solid but aging homes, and homeowners who sometimes find themselves stuck with a property that needs more than they can put into it. We buy homes in both communities in any condition.
