Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to a sale. Compare the written numbers for each path and change the assumptions for your house in the calculator.
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.

Minot seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Minot house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the condition, access, occupancy, and timing; you do not need to finish repairs before asking about a sale.
How do I compare a Cash Offer, EZ Sale, and listing?
Compare what you would keep after the costs of each path, not just the headline sale price. The comparison below lays out the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms; the Minot calculator lets you change the numbers for your own assumptions.
How soon can I get a written offer, and when could the sale close?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The listed Cash Offer term is 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. Those are the program terms shown below, not a promise of a property-specific closing date; the written terms for your house set out the actual agreement.
Does North Dakota charge a real-estate transfer tax?
No. North Dakota has no state, county, or city sales or transfer tax on real property. The state constitution bars governments from imposing one. A deed still needs a statement certifying the full price paid or a legal exemption before the county recorder can record it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What paperwork should I have before I call?
You can call before you have every paper gathered. Start with the Minot address and the facts you know; a deed, mortgage or payoff information, tax or lien notice, lease, or court or estate paper can help clarify the next question. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Can I sell my North Dakota house while it is in foreclosure?
Often, yes, if there is time to close before the sheriff's sale. Ordinary private home-mortgage foreclosures in North Dakota go through court, so check the actual court case and sale notice for the current date. 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.
Can I ask about an inherited Minot house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can start with what you know about the house and who is involved. The person signing and that person’s authority still need to be clear before closing.
Can I sell a tenant-occupied Minot house?
You can ask about an occupied house. Share the lease status, access limits, occupancy, and timing so the sale discussion reflects the actual situation.
