From first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

  1. Tell us about the house

    Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax question, tenant, or notice is involved, mention what you know. You can start the conversation before every answer or document is in hand.

  2. Talk through the property

    We ask practical questions about the house, its condition, occupancy, access, and timing, then explain what we can review. 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, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions before you decide.

  4. Work through title and payoff details

    The title company checks ownership and who can sign, and obtains the payoff and record information needed for settlement. A mortgage payoff is the amount needed to satisfy that obligation; a lien is a claim for money connected to the property. If an estate or court notice is involved, share the papers you have so the right people can review them.

  5. Review the settlement sheet

    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.

  6. Choose whether to sign and close

    You decide whether the written terms work for you. If you proceed, the title company handles the closing and confirms the final settlement figures. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

Two ways to sell to us

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.

Red Wing and Goodhue County details

Local property and tax records

Red Wing is in Goodhue County. County property-record, Recorder, and real-estate-tax links can help you find local information. The title company checks which records, payoffs, liens, and tax figures apply to your sale.

Goodhue County Recorder ↗

The county Recorder is a local starting point for recorded-document questions. The title company checks what is needed for this sale.

Closing numbers

Know what is on the settlement sheet

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. The settlement sheet lists the price and the other amounts that apply, including any mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those obligations and tax amounts are separate from closing costs. 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 the process gets 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.
