From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
Start with the Mankato property address, its condition, who lives there, and what is going on. You can begin the conversation before every property question or document is settled; share what you know so far.
Talk through the property as it is
We ask about the house, access, occupancy, repairs, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Get the written cash offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Read the terms and choose your path
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the written numbers and responsibilities before deciding whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoff details
The title company closing process includes the title and payoff details needed for settlement. A mortgage, lien, back taxes, and the seller’s share of current property taxes remain separate from our closing-cost promise.
Review the settlement sheet and close
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
Compare the direct Cash Offer with EZ Sale before choosing. The comparison below uses the existing program terms and calculator so you can look at written numbers side by side.
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.

Mankato property records
Check the county for the exact property
Mankato’s city area includes Blue Earth, Le Sueur, and Nicollet counties. For an estate, lien, tax, or court-record question, match the record search to the parcel’s county; the city name alone may not identify the right county office. See Census TIGERweb county and city geography.
Before settlement
Review the settlement numbers
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. Review the price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. 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 pay the seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those amounts are separate from the closing-cost promise.
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.
