Sell Your West Bend House on Your Terms
Simply Sold RE pays cash for houses in West Bend and the surrounding towns. If listing, fixing and showing a house is more than you want to take on, we can make you an offer and close when you are ready.
West Bend is the county seat of Washington County, a city of about 32,000 people built along the Milwaukee River roughly 35 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee. It started as a mill town on the river bend, and the village of Barton on its north side grew the same way before the two consolidated in 1961. Today the city has a historic downtown on Main Street, the Museum of Wisconsin Art by the river, and the start of the Eisenbahn State Trail.
What Kind of Houses We Buy in West Bend
The oldest homes sit close to downtown and in the Barton neighborhood, with plenty of two-story frame houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. As the city grew after World War II, ranches, Cape Cods and bi-levels filled in the blocks outward, and newer subdivisions keep spreading on the edges. Outside the city, the Town of West Bend has lake homes around Big Cedar Lake and Silver Lake.
Every one of those has its own common problems. Older downtown homes tend to need wiring, plumbing and roof work. Postwar houses often still have their first kitchen and bath, and the basements can take on water. Lake cottages may sit on old wells and septic systems. Any of these can trip up a financed buyer. We buy all of them without asking you to fix anything first.
ZIP codes 53090 and 53095. The US-45 freeway runs along the east side of the city, with Highway 33 crossing east to west and Highway 144 heading north. Neighboring communities: the Towns of West Bend, Barton and Trenton, and the villages of Jackson, Slinger, Kewaskum and Newburg.

Answers for West Bend Homeowners
Some background on selling here, then the questions we hear most often.
Selling in West Bend When the House Isn't Perfect
West Bend draws families who want a smaller city with a real downtown, and commuters who can reach the Milwaukee area on US-45. Local employers include West Bend Mutual Insurance, Froedtert West Bend Hospital, Serigraph, Gehl and the School District of West Bend. Homes that are updated and priced right tend to attract interest.
The picture changes when a house needs work. Buyers here mostly use bank financing, and an appraiser or inspector who finds a failing roof, an old electrical panel or water in the basement can slow or end a deal. You can fix those items first, sell at a discount and hope the loan holds, or sell to us for cash with no repair conditions. Our price reflects the repairs, but nothing comes out of your pocket and the date does not move.
Estates and Long-Held Family Homes
Many of the West Bend houses we buy belonged to someone who lived there for 40 or 50 years. The family is often spread across the state or the country, the house is full, and nobody has time to clear it and manage a listing. We can buy the house with the contents inside.
- Probate: Washington County estates are handled by the Register in Probate in West Bend. Most families use informal administration, and we can sign once the personal representative is appointed.
- Small estates: if the probate assets total $50,000 or less, Wisconsin's transfer by affidavit may let an heir transfer the property without opening probate. An attorney can confirm whether it applies.
- Contents: take the keepsakes and leave the rest. We arrange the cleanout after closing.
West Bend Property Taxes
In the City of West Bend, the first installment or full payment of property taxes is due to the city by January 31, and the second installment goes to the Washington County Treasurer by July 31. If the first installment is missed, the whole bill becomes delinquent, with interest and penalty of 1.5% a month running back to February 1, and from then on the county treasurer collects it. If taxes stay unpaid, the county can eventually take the property through tax foreclosure. A sale settles everything owed at closing, and the county treasurer can tell you the exact payoff before then.
