What are the practical ways to sell an as-is Minneapolis house?
List with an agent
Ask whether to list the house as it sits or do selected work first. Compare repair and cleanout estimates, preparation and showings, the costs in your listing agreement, and the bills you may carry while it is for sale.
Sell it yourself
Selling without an agent puts marketing, buyer questions, showings, price discussions, and sale coordination in your hands. Include the time and any professional help you choose when comparing it with a listing or direct offer.
USA Home Buyers has two as-is purchase options. We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare the written numbers for the Cash Offer and EZ Sale with a realistic listing plan or a sale by owner. Look at the work, costs, and terms that apply to your house, and what you may keep after those costs.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
What Minneapolis sale detail should you check?
Minneapolis runs a Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH) evaluation and report program. The City identifies single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses, and first-time condominium conversions as property types needing an evaluation before sale. It also describes City-issued certificates that can substitute for a TISH report in specified circumstances. An as-is sale does not establish whether a particular address needs an evaluation or has a current report or certificate. Check the address and City records for your property; see the City’s Truth in Sale of Housing information.
What costs and complications should you compare?
For a listing, compare repairs or cleanout you choose, preparation for photos and showings, costs in your listing agreement, and bills you expect to carry while the house is for sale. For a direct offer, compare its written price and terms with your payoff and other property costs. A headline price alone does not show what you keep.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Pick your condition — light touch-ups through fire damage — and see what you'd actually walk away with. Change any number in it.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
If repairs, occupancy, ownership, or a City notice is part of your situation, those details may affect which option you want to compare. See the Minneapolis pages for code violations and repairs, tenant-occupied houses, and inherited property.
