From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, tenant, notice, mortgage payoff, lien, or tax question is part of the situation, mention it. You do not have to solve every question before starting.
2. We talk through the property and the options
We ask practical questions about repairs, access, occupancy, ownership, and timing, then review the house as it sits. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, costs, and timing in the terms, and ask questions before deciding which option fits.
4. The title company checks payoffs and property details
The title company reviews the deed and who can sign, then works through the mortgage payoff, recorded liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Keep the statements, notices, or estate papers you have; the right people can identify what else is needed. A conversation or offer does not change a court, lender, or other official deadline.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
A settlement sheet shows how the money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Bemidji and Beltrami County details
Where to start with local property records
For a recorded deed or mortgage record, start with the Beltrami County Recorder. For an assessed property value, start with the Beltrami County Assessor. The City of Bemidji also provides assessor information; check the parcel and the office's current instructions for the record you need. A public record is a starting point, not confirmation of every title, payoff, or signing question for a sale.
Closing numbers
See what is included in the settlement figures
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Ask the title company to show those amounts and other sale figures on the settlement sheet.
When things get difficult
We keep working toward the closing table
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Bemidji process questions
Can I talk with you before every property question is settled?
Yes. Start with the address and what you know about the house, who is living there, and your timing. We can talk through what still needs checking; property-specific title and payoff details are confirmed as the sale moves forward.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before asking about a sale?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Who confirms the title, payoff, lien, and settlement figures?
The title company checks the property records and signing authority, works through mortgage payoffs and liens, and confirms the final settlement numbers. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost payment.
