Skip repairs, contractors, and listing showings
A regular listing can mean estimating repairs, arranging contractors, preparing the house, and coordinating public showings. Those are more decisions and schedules to manage during an already difficult time.

What happens next
1. Talk through the house
Tell us the Spearfish address, the house's condition, and what is making a regular sale hard. Start with what you know; you do not need to resolve every question before contacting us.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you commit, so you can decide whether to proceed.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, required signatures, and closing documents. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items.
