From first conversation to settlement
The Pine City sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Pine City address, what you know about the condition, who lives there, access, and timing. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. Share any estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax account, or notice questions that are already on your mind; unknown details can stay open while you talk.
Step 2: Talk through the property and the written offer
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through condition, occupancy, access, and timing. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions, then ask questions, compare another path, or stop before signing.
Step 3: Work through title and payoff details
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Bring the current statements, notices, or estate papers you have so the title company can identify the questions that need to be answered for this sale.
Step 4: Review the settlement sheet and close
The 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. If you proceed, the title company handles settlement and confirms the final numbers.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell
Compare Cash Offer and EZ Sale
Compare the written numbers and terms, then choose the option that works for your house and situation.
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.

Pine City and Pine County details
Start with the jurisdiction that handles your question
Pine City and Pine County are separate government jurisdictions. City rental and building requirements are described for property within Pine City; Pine County offices handle county records, assessment, and tax routing. Confirm the relevant jurisdiction for the actual property address rather than relying only on a postal label.
County records and assessment
Pine County offices handle county records, assessment, and tax routing. The County's official website is a starting point for finding the office that matches your question.

Review the settlement sheet and Minnesota deed tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin and Ramsey counties each add a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; those county add-ons do not apply in Pine County. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax, so the closing professional confirms the property's county and taxable amount. Minnesota law generally makes the seller liable for deed tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items; the closing-cost promise does not pay them.

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.
