Own a Home in Waukesha County? We’ll Buy It As-Is for Cash.
I’m Carter Crowley. My dad Bryan and I run CB Home Solutions — we’ve been buying homes across Wisconsin since 2015 and have been involved in over 300 transactions. Waukesha County has been one of our most active areas, and this page covers the communities surrounding the city of Waukesha where we regularly purchase properties.
If you own a home in Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, Muskego, Oconomowoc, or any of the other Waukesha County communities listed on this page, we can make you a straightforward cash offer. No cleaning, no staging, no repair work. You set the closing date and leave behind anything you don’t want — we take care of the rest.
I’ll be direct with you: a cash offer isn’t the right move for every homeowner. If your property is in good condition and you have time to wait, listing with a real estate agent will almost always net you more. I hold an active Wisconsin real estate license (License #81027-94), and I’ll tell you honestly which route makes more financial sense for your situation. We’re not interested in pushing a deal that doesn’t work for both of us.

Where We Buy in Waukesha County
Waukesha County stretches from the Milwaukee border to lake country — each community has different housing stock, different price points, and different reasons sellers reach out to us.
Brookfield
Brookfield is one of our most active Waukesha County markets. The housing stock ranges from 1960s ranches and colonials in the older neighborhoods near Brookfield Rd and Capitol Dr, to newer construction on the west side. We frequently hear from homeowners who bought 30+ years ago and are facing the reality of a major renovation just to list — updated kitchens and bathrooms are expected by today’s Brookfield buyers, and that renovation can run $80,000+ on a larger colonial. Landlords managing rental properties from out of state are another common call. We purchased a home here from a seller living in Georgia who needed to offload a rental after his tenants moved out — he never had to set foot in Wisconsin to close the deal.
New Berlin
New Berlin’s housing is predominantly 1970s–1990s construction — split-levels, bi-levels, and ranches on larger lots. These homes were built solidly, but the ones we buy typically have original windows, dated kitchens, and mechanicals that are past their useful life. Many sellers here are empty-nesters who no longer need a four-bedroom home and don’t want to sink $40,000–$60,000 into updates before listing. The lot sizes in New Berlin are an advantage on the open market, but only if the home itself shows well — and that’s the gap we fill for sellers who can’t or don’t want to invest in bringing the property up to market standards.
Menomonee Falls
Menomonee Falls has a wide range of housing — from older homes near the downtown area along Main St and Appleton Ave, to newer subdivisions further out. The older stock is where we’re most active. These mid-century homes often have fieldstone foundations, original plumbing, and aging roofs that make them tough candidates for traditional financing. If a buyer’s lender won’t approve a loan because the home doesn’t meet lending standards, you’re limited to cash buyers anyway — and that’s us. We also work with families settling estates in Menomonee Falls, where a parent’s home has sat partially maintained for several years and needs more work than the heirs can manage.
Pewaukee & Oconomowoc
The lake communities carry higher price points, but that doesn’t make them immune to the same situations. We’ve spoken with homeowners in Pewaukee and Oconomowoc dealing with properties that need extensive work — failing septic systems, water damage from proximity to the lake, and older lakefront cottages that were never intended as year-round homes but have been used that way for decades. The cost to bring these properties to listing condition can be significant, and when the repair bill starts approaching six figures, sellers start looking for a simpler path. That’s where we come in — we buy the property as-is and take on the renovation ourselves.
Muskego, Elm Grove, Sussex & Mukwonago
We buy throughout these communities as well. Muskego’s mix of rural and suburban properties includes everything from small ranches to hobby farm parcels — we’ve purchased properties here with outbuildings, large lots, and homes that traditional buyers overlook because of the scope of work needed. Elm Grove’s older homes carry higher values but also higher renovation costs. Sussex and Mukwonago are growing communities where we work with owners dealing with deferred maintenance, tenant-damaged rentals, and inherited properties that families want to settle quickly. We also serve Delafield, Hartland, and the smaller towns and villages throughout the county.
What to Expect When You Contact Us
Here’s exactly how it works from your first call to closing day — no surprises.
The first conversation (5 minutes). You call us at (920) 215-4201 or fill out the form on this page. We’ll ask where the property is, what kind of shape it’s in, and what your situation looks like — are you on a timeline, are there tenants, is it an estate? This takes about five minutes and there’s no obligation whatsoever.
The walkthrough (30–45 minutes). We schedule a time that works for you. We look at the structure, the roof, the mechanicals, any damage, and the overall condition. We’ve been through hundreds of homes in every state of disrepair — nothing catches us off guard. If there are tenants or the home isn’t easily accessible, we’ll work around it.
The offer (same day). We put together a written cash offer based on what the home is worth after renovation, minus our costs. We show you how we got to the number. If you want to compare it to what you’d net listing on the open market, we’ll walk through that math with you too — because I’m a licensed agent, I can pull the comps and give you a realistic picture of both options.
Closing (on your schedule). If you accept, you pick the date. We can close in as little as two weeks or give you months if you need time to find your next place. We pay closing costs, handle the title work, and you can leave behind anything you don’t want to move. You show up, sign, and leave with a check — or we arrange a remote closing if you’re not local.

Who We Are
We’re a father-and-son team. I’m Carter — I handle acquisitions, evaluate every property personally, and hold an active Wisconsin real estate license through Realty One Group Haven (License #81027-94). My dad Bryan manages our renovation projects — when we buy your house, his crew is the one transforming it into a home for the next family. You can verify our BBB accreditation here.
We’ve completed over 300 transactions since starting in 2015. We expanded into Waukesha County because the opportunity was clear — homeowners in these communities needed an alternative to the traditional listing process, and we had the experience and resources to provide it. We’re not a franchise, not a hedge fund, and not a company that sends a different person every time. When you work with CB Home Solutions, you work with us. More about our team.
Questions We Hear From Waukesha County Homeowners
My Brookfield/New Berlin home is worth a lot more than what a cash buyer would offer. Why would I sell this way?
You might not — and we’ll tell you that honestly. Cash offers make the most financial sense when the gap between your home’s current condition and market-ready condition is significant. If your home is updated and shows well, listing with an agent is almost certainly the better path. But if you’re looking at $50,000–$100,000 in renovations, several months of construction, and then another few months on the market, the net difference between a cash sale and a traditional sale shrinks considerably once you factor in renovation costs, carrying costs, agent commissions, and your time. We’ll walk through both scenarios with real numbers so you can compare.
Can you buy my rental property in Menomonee Falls if it has tenants?
Yes. We buy properties with tenants in place regularly. You don’t need to evict anyone or wait for leases to expire. We handle the tenant transition after closing. This is one of the most common reasons landlords in Waukesha County reach out to us — they want out of property management without the hassle of vacancy, turnover, and repair costs just to list the property.
I inherited a home in Pewaukee and I live out of state. Can you handle everything remotely?
Absolutely. We work with out-of-state sellers frequently — we walk the property ourselves, put together the offer, coordinate with the title company, and arrange a mobile notary or remote online notarization so you never have to fly to Wisconsin. You can leave all contents behind and we handle the cleanout. If the property is in probate, we can work within that timeline too.
How fast can you close on a Waukesha County property?
As quickly as 14 days if the title is clear. Most of our Waukesha County transactions close in 21–30 days. But we’re flexible — if you need 60 or 90 days because you’re lining up your next move, that works for us too. You set the timeline.
