From the first conversation to closing
The sale, step by step
Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Faribault address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing you have in mind. Mention repairs, an estate, a payoff, a lien, taxes, or a tenant if any of those are part of the situation. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the property and the options
We ask practical questions about the house and review it as it stands. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Read a written offer and its terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, timing, costs, and property-specific terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Work through title, payoff, and settlement
If you choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing process and confirms the final numbers. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, current property-tax amounts, and signing authority are separate details to raise and review for the specific property.
What you can expect at settlement
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.

County recorded-document information.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures
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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.
The settlement sheet lets you review the sale figures and applicable payoffs, taxes, and costs together. The title company confirms the final numbers; ask about any line you do not recognize.
When things get difficult
We stay with the process
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.
