New Ulm, MN seller help · Divorce sale
Can we sell our New Ulm house during a divorce?
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Yes. We buy houses as-is in New Ulm and Brown County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. The deed and any court orders still determine who is authorized to sign, but you can talk with us before every practical disagreement is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 or start with the form. You can begin with what you know about the house.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and what is happening with the house.
Skip the repair and showing coordination
A direct as-is sale can spare you from coordinating contractors, finishing repairs, cleaning out the house, or preparing it for public showings. You do not need to agree on a repair list or a showing schedule before asking us to review the property.
We can discuss the house as it stands, who has access, and what is making the ordinary sale process difficult. You can compare the written offer with the time and costs of listing it.
Who can sign?
New Ulm is in Brown County. The recorded deed is the place to start for the names shown as owners; a divorce court order may also affect how the house can be sold or who may sign. The title company reviews the deed and applicable orders to confirm the signatures needed for this property.
You do not have to settle that question before talking with us. For advice about what a particular Minnesota order means, speak with a Minnesota family-law attorney.
Bring us the problem
If repair estimates, contractor access, showing plans, or different schedules are holding things up, tell us what is happening. You can start the conversation before every disagreement is resolved.
