Protection first
We walk you through the process in plain language. No surprise fees, no last-minute
changes at the closing table, and you always see the numbers before you sign.
Why Sentinel
A local team that actually respects your situation.
You’re not a line on a spreadsheet. You’re a homeowner with a real story. We listen first, then craft a solution that works for you – not just our numbers.
Local & real
Sentinel is Detroit-based. When you call, you’re talking to Josh or Lalania –
not a national call center reading from a script.
Fast, clean closings
We coordinate title, paperwork, and closing details. You choose the day,
we do the heavy lifting so you can focus on your next chapter.
How it works
Three simple steps to a stress-free sale.
No listings, no showings, no endless “maybe” buyers. Just a clear path from first conversation to cash in hand.
1
Tell us about the property
Share the basic details – address, condition, and your ideal timeline.
You can call, text, or fill out the form below in under a minute.
2
We review and craft your offer
We analyze recent sales, condition, and repair needs, then present a clear,
written cash offer. No lowball “fishing” – just honest numbers.
3
You choose the closing date
If the offer works, we coordinate title and closing on your schedule.
You pick the day, sign the paperwork, and get paid.
Detroit & metro
We focus on metro Detroit – not random markets.
Our focus is metro Detroit and nearby communities. That means we understand values, renovations, and buyer demand here – not just on a spreadsheet.

Meet your team
Josh & Lalania – the people behind Sentinel.
Sentinel means “protector.” That’s how we approach real estate. Our goal isn’t just to move a property – it’s to protect your time, your sanity, and your next move.
We’re a husband-and-wife team focused on Detroit-area single-family homes and small multi-family properties. Sometimes we purchase directly, and sometimes we partner with trusted local buyers. Either way, you get one clear cash offer and work with Sentinel from start to finish.
“If you’re dealing with a property that’s become a burden – too many repairs, bad tenants, taxes, or life just changed – we’re here to give you a clear, respectful exit. We’ll walk you through your options and tell you the truth, even if that means advising you not to sell to us.”
– Josh & Lalania, Sentinel Investment Group
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do I have to make any repairs or clean the property?
No. We look at properties in their current condition. You can leave behind items you don’t want, and we’ll
handle the cleaning and repairs after closing.
How do you come up with my offer price?
We look at similar homes that sold nearby, estimate repairs, and back into a number
that works for both sides. We’ll walk you through the math so it’s transparent.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?
No. There are no agent commissions, and we cover standard closing costs.
The number we agree on is what you receive at the closing table, minus any existing
mortgage or liens.
What if I’m behind on payments or taxes?
We frequently talk with sellers facing back taxes, code violations, or missed payments.
We’ll coordinate with the title company to clear what we can at closing.
