Compare your choices

Listing, selling it yourself, or a direct as-is sale

List with an agent or sell it yourself

A listing can suit a house that is ready to show and an owner who can manage preparation and waiting. Compare likely proceeds with repair bids, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, other selling costs, and the bills you carry before closing. Selling without an agent puts marketing, buyer questions, showings, and sale coordination in your hands.

Ask for a direct as-is offer

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare the written price and terms with the costs, obligations, work, and timing that apply to this property. The useful number is what you may keep after those amounts, not only the first price you see.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Two ways we buy

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

USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

EZ Sale

Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

Showings: Yes, partner visits.

Useful local facts

Match the property to Long Prairie or Todd County records

Permits and zoning

Long Prairie City Hall is at 615 Lake Street South. The City says permit requests are available through City Hall and building permits are issued by its Building Inspector. If you have an open permit or are considering work, ask the City about the actual address and proposed project. A Long Prairie-area mailing address alone does not establish that a parcel is inside city limits.

Long Prairie City Hall contact · City Planning and Zoning

Vacant buildings and rental questions

The City-posted Chapter 15 includes a vacant-buildings section and scheduled-inspection authority for rental dwelling units. The City’s ordinances index labels the chapter as posted in 2020, so confirm current adoption, any actual notice or deadline, and whether a sale-specific requirement applies to this address with the City.

Todd County and court contacts

Long Prairie is Todd County’s county seat, but city and county offices handle different records. The City-hosted Todd County offices listing is a general starting point; ask which county department handles your parcel or question. For an estate or court matter, the Minnesota Judicial Branch’s Todd County page is a court-information starting point. Use the actual case papers and ask the court or an attorney about the next step.

Minnesota closing questions

Check who can sign, any deadline, and what you may keep

Who can sign?

Start with the current deed and ownership papers. The title company can identify which owners or authorized representatives need to sign for this property. If the house is inherited, bring the will and estate appointment or court papers. Ask the court handling the matter or a Minnesota attorney if authority is unclear; being a relative or heir alone does not answer what this title requires.

Mortgage foreclosure and the deadline

A sale may still be possible if the required payoff or redemption can be completed before the applicable deadline. Minnesota mortgage foreclosure auctions are sheriff's sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, the usual redemption period is six months after the sale, but shorter and longer periods apply in some cases. A court foreclosure can have a different starting point. Do not assume the sale date or redemption deadline has moved; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed.

Minnesota deed tax and closing costs

For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties each add a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; those county taxes do not apply to a Todd County property. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax, so the closing professional confirms the property’s county and taxable amount.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
