From first conversation to settlement
Tell us what you know about the address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing. If an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax account, or notice is part of the situation, mention it. You can start before every answer is settled.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and any estate or court authority needed for this sale. If a detail needs another source or professional, it can be checked while the written terms and closing plan are reviewed.
The settlement sheet shows how the sale 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. If you proceed, closing is through the title company.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Useful local details
Detroit Lakes is in Becker County. Use the property address when a record or office question depends on the specific parcel. County pages can help you locate parcel, tax, or court information; the title company reviews the deed, payoffs, liens, and documents needed for settlement.
Use the county Assessor or parcel search to start looking up parcel and assessment details. A parcel lookup is not a substitute for checking recorded ownership; the title company reviews the documents needed for this sale.
The county property-tax page is a starting point for parcel-specific tax account and payment information. Keep a current property-tax amount separate from a mortgage payoff or lien question.
Use the Minnesota Judicial Branch county page as a starting point for current court information. If an estate or court file affects who may sign, confirm the specific file with the appropriate court, attorney, or title company.
Closing numbers
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate; we do not pay those amounts as closing costs. Review the settlement figures so you can see what is being paid and what is scheduled for you.
