Put transfer fees, signing authority, and any sale date in the comparison
South Dakota’s real-estate transfer fee
The transfer fee is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction thereof. State law makes the grantor—the person transferring the property—responsible unless an exemption applies. A deed or contract for deed generally also needs a Certificate of Value for recording.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

If a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled
South Dakota allows foreclosure by court action and foreclosure by advertisement when the mortgage contains a power of sale. An advertisement sale requires publication at least weekly for four successive weeks, written notice to the borrower and affected lienholders at least 21 days before sale, and a sheriff-run public auction in the county where the property is located. After advertisement begins, the borrower may require foreclosure by court action.
The ordinary redemption period is one year after sale. A mortgage containing the statutory 180-day clause can have a shorter period, including 60 days if the property is abandoned. Check the mortgage, sale notice, certificate, and court docket for the property’s actual dates.

Questions about selling a house in Sioux Falls
Common Sioux Falls selling questions
Can I sell a Sioux Falls house without fixing it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours, and you get written terms before you commit.
Who needs to sign when a Sioux Falls house is sold?
Once appointed, a South Dakota personal representative may sell estate property at public or private sale unless the will or a formal court order restricts that power. If the property’s fair-market value is not readily ascertainable, the representative must give each person who filed a demand for notice written sale information at least 14 days before closing. Share the appointment and estate papers with us, and we’ll talk them through with you. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. See the Sioux Falls inherited-property guide for more.
What should I share if tenants live in the house?
Tell us who lives there, what the lease says about access, and what timing you are considering. Those property-specific details belong in the comparison; see the Sioux Falls tenant-occupied property information for more.
How is South Dakota’s real-estate transfer fee calculated?
South Dakota charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction thereof. State law makes the grantor—the person transferring the property—responsible unless an exemption applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
