SELL YOUR PROPERTY SHARE
Sell Your Share of a Property in Michigan
Own part of a house, rental, or land in Michigan? DeedUnlock considers purchases of individual ownership interests in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and statewide. Start with your share and your situation.
Prepare your Michigan property for a share offer
For a Detroit-area rental, include county and parcel information and who currently occupies the home. For a northern Michigan cottage, describe seasonal use, access, and shared maintenance arrangements. If a house and adjacent vacant lot are held together, list both parcels and explain whether your ownership percentage is the same in each.
Tell us how you became an owner, what percentage you believe you hold, and whether the property is occupied. You can start without knowing every detail. A recorded deed, estate document, or ownership agreement helps us identify the interest to review.
Find the property documents
Wayne County Register of Deeds official resourceUse this official resource as a starting point. Confirm that the office covers your property's location and follow its recording or land-record instructions. The linked office does not represent DeedUnlock.
Look for the recorded owner names, legal description, document reference, and any deed identifying your interest. A tax or assessment record helps identify a parcel, but is not a substitute for the deed or an offer for your share.

An example of a situation we can review
You inherited a cottage with relatives whose plans differ from yours.
Illustrative situation, not a completed transaction or a promised result.
Begin with a short explanation of what you want to sell and why the current arrangement is not working. Tell us about a mortgage, known taxes or liens, occupants, and any agreements you have. We use the details to research the property and discuss the next steps by phone.
Compare an offer for your share
Ask whether the proposal buys your interest alone or depends on a sale of the whole property. Compare written net proceeds, responsibility for costs, the documents needed, and the proposed closing process. Transferring an ownership interest and handling any loan obligations are separate items to discuss.
Our property-share calculator separates proportional value from an illustrative whole-property sale and lets you compare your own written offers. It does not invent a discount or issue an appraisal.
Can I ask about less than half a property?
Yes. Tell us your actual share, or say that the percentage is unknown. The inquiry is about the interest you own, not a requirement to hold 50%.
Can I begin while living outside Michigan?
Yes. Use the property's Michigan address and your own contact information. Let us know if another owner, relative, or tenant uses the property.
