Request a written offerCompare the choices
A listing may fit when you want to reach retail buyers and can prepare, show, and carry the house while it sells. Compare repair bids, cleanup, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and the time before closing. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
Compare the written price and terms with the costs, work, time, payoff, occupancy, and title questions for your house. You do not need to complete repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout to sell to us.
Compare what you would keep after property-specific costs, not only the first price you see. A house ready to show may fit a listing; a house with heavy repairs, difficult circumstances, or a tight timeline may be worth comparing without starting that work first.
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.

Useful local property facts
Minneapolis's Truth in Sale of Housing program identifies single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses, and first-time condominium conversions as types needing an evaluation before sale. The City says certificates can substitute for a report in specified circumstances. Check the address and current City records; this guide does not determine whether an evaluation or certificate applies to a particular house.
The City says every rental property in Minneapolis must have a license. If a tenant lives in the house, check the City's license route and gather the lease, occupancy details, access limits, and possession plan for your comparison. This page does not determine a property's current license or tenancy status.
Before agreeing to a closing plan
Start with the deed and any trust, estate, or court papers. Ask the title company which owners or representatives must sign and what authority documents it needs for this property. If ownership or authority is unclear or disputed, ask a Minnesota attorney.
For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin County adds a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax, for a combined 0.34%. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax; the closing professional confirms the county and taxable amount. State law generally makes the seller liable for deed tax.
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.
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.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
