Williston, ND illustrative estimate
Williston home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a Williston house when something has made it harder
Foreclosure
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
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.
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.

Does North Dakota charge a real estate transfer tax?
No. North Dakota has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax. A deed still needs a statement of the full sale price or a listed 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.
How can I tell whether a property is inside Williston city limits?
Williston Planning and Zoning handles land use inside the city and in a one-mile planning area around it. Call us with the house address and we’ll help find the right local office.
Which office handles property-tax and special-assessment questions?
The Williams County Treasurer handles County property-tax statements. Williston Finance handles City special assessments. Tell us about any tax bill or City assessment on the house, and we’ll talk it through with you.
What should I do if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
Ordinary private home mortgages in North Dakota go through a court case; a mortgage held by the state or a state agency can follow a different process. Call us and we’ll look at the sale date and court papers with you.
Can I sell an inherited North Dakota house while the estate is open?
You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. In North Dakota, the court-appointed personal representative usually signs using letters testamentary or letters of administration. A will or court order can limit that authority. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
What if the City has sent a code or building notice?
A city can order repairs or removal for certain fire-hazard, dangerous, or run-down buildings. If the City does the work, the cost can become a lien on the property. Call us with the address and notice, and we’ll go through it with you.
