Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Your net proceeds are what remains after the costs and balances tied to your sale. A cash offer may have a different price from a listing, so compare the written numbers with repairs, commissions, holding costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and other property-specific amounts.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Faribault seller questions, answered
How much will I keep if I sell my Faribault house for cash?
The sale price is not the amount you take home. What you keep depends on the written price and the costs and balances attached to your property, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, repairs, commissions, and the time you carry the house. Compare net proceeds for your own assumptions instead of only the headline price.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, and timing in writing before you choose what to do.
Read about the offer and closing process →Who pays closing costs when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate items; the title company can show the property-specific amounts for closing.
Compare sale costs and possible net proceeds →Can I call before I have all the paperwork?
Yes. You can call with the property address and what you know about the house, who owns or occupies it, and your timing. You do not need every document gathered before asking a question. If an estate or court matter is involved, the actual papers will help the title company and your attorney confirm who can sign and what must happen before closing.

Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied property. Share the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. The lease and occupancy details matter when planning a sale and possession.

We can review a house when a foreclosure notice is involved. Use the actual lender, court, or county notice to identify the dates, and contact the lender or a qualified housing counselor or attorney about your options. A sale conversation does not replace the deadline or instructions in an official notice.
Read about foreclosure and sale deadlines →Can you look at a house with repairs or a city code notice?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the repairs, notice, and any dates listed so the property can be reviewed as it stands.
