Built for families in transition

We Start With What's Happening in Your Life

Most cash buyers talk about the house. We start with the family: the distance, the deadlines, the siblings, and a house full of decades of belongings.

How we're different

A Cash Home Buyer Built Around Families, Not Just Houses

The real problem usually isn't the house. It's time, distance, and too many decisions landing on one person at once.

Check any buyer before you sign

  • Ask for the offer in writing, with each line explained.
  • Ask which title company closes and who pays closing costs.
  • Ask whether the agreement can be assigned, and what that changes.
  • Look up any agent's license with the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
Questions to ask any cash buyer

The typical seller we talk to is a daughter in Denver emptying her late father's house in Richfield, or a couple in Rochester moving Mom into memory care who need the house sold before next month's bill. The condition of the house matters. But what they really need is someone to take the house off the family's plate.

So that's how we work. You get a no-obligation cash offer in writing, built from the house's after-repair value minus repairs, holding costs, resale costs, and our profit. Every line is on the page. We walk the house in person or by video, and you pick the closing date. When title is clear, we can often close in about two weeks. Probate sales follow the court and the attorney.

Because our team includes a licensed Minnesota real estate agent, we can give you a straight answer on whether a cash offer or a listing nets you more. When listing wins, we say so. When the licensee is a party to a purchase, the license disclosure goes in the purchase agreement.

We'll also be open about how we buy. We may close with our own funds or assign the purchase agreement to another buyer, and the agreement says so in writing. If it's assigned, your price, closing date, and terms don't change, and the same Minnesold contact stays with you. The closing happens through a title company, which confirms the funds before anyone signs.

And we pay the seller's standard closing costs: the Minnesota state deed tax (plus the environmental surcharge Hennepin and Ramsey counties add), the abstract update or title search, and title company closing fees. Out-of-state heirs can use a remote closing. Your radon disclosure, well disclosure, and seller's property disclosure statement (Minn. Stat. 513.55) are still your forms. We walk you through them.

An honest comparison

Cash Offer vs. Listing: What You Actually Net

A cash offer is lower than a top retail price. For a vacant, dated house, the net gap often shrinks once repairs, carrying costs, commission, and months of effort are counted. Sometimes it does not, and our licensed agent will tell you so.

Comparison of a cash sale to Minnesold and a typical listing
What you're weighing Cash sale to Minnesold Typical listing
Commission None on a sale to us Negotiable and varies; usually paid by the seller
Repairs and cleaning None. Sold as-is Often weeks of repairs, painting, and cleaning
TISH or septic inspection We arrange and pay for any required one Seller arranges; repair orders may follow
Belongings left behind Leave what you want; we handle the cleanout House is usually emptied before closing
Showings None Open houses and showings while listed
Carrying costs Stop at the closing date you pick Continue until a buyer closes
Closing date You choose; remote signing available Set around the buyer's financing
Top possible price Lower than retail, with the math shown Higher potential sale price

How We Build a Cash Offer

A cash offer is lower than a retail sale. We show you why, line by line, so you can check our work and compare it with listing.

How It Works

Six steps from your first call to a title-company closing. The same person stays with you the whole way.

  1. 01

    Send the address or call

    Submit the address online or call (612) 229-7926. The web form is open 24/7, and we call back the same business day.

  2. 02

    A few questions, then a range

    Our client services lead asks who owns the home, whether probate is open, and what your timeline looks like. A preliminary price range follows within 24 hours.

  3. 03

    Walkthrough, in person or by video

    We walk the house with you or a family member. Out-of-state heirs can do it by video call, or we can meet a local key holder.

  4. 04

    Written offer with the math shown

    Within 24-48 hours of the walkthrough you get a firm written offer that shows each line: value after repairs, repair costs, holding costs, resale costs, and our profit.

  5. 05

    You pick the closing date

    Choose a date that fits the move, the care facility, or the family. For probate, we set the date with the estate's attorney and follow the court's timeline.

  6. 06

    Close through a title company

    Sign in person or remotely through the title company. Your mortgage, liens, and unpaid taxes are paid from the proceeds, and we pay the seller's standard closing costs.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers for families and personal representatives selling Minnesota homes.

How quickly will I get an offer?

You get a preliminary price range within 24 hours of your first call, and a firm written offer within 24-48 hours of the walkthrough. Walkthroughs happen in person or by video.

How soon can we close?

When title is clear, we can often close in about two weeks, and you pick the date. Probate sales follow the court and attorney timeline, so we don't promise those in days.

Who pays the closing costs?

We pay the seller's standard closing costs: Minnesota state deed tax (plus the environmental surcharge Hennepin and Ramsey counties add), the abstract update or title search, and title company closing fees. Your mortgage, liens, and unpaid property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds.

Will a cash offer be less than listing the house?

Yes, a cash offer is lower than a retail sale. For a vacant, dated house, the gap often shrinks once repairs, carrying costs, commission, and months of effort are counted. Sometimes it doesn't, and we'll say so - our team includes a licensed Minnesota real estate agent.

Do we have to empty the house first?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle and pay for the cleanout, donate usable furniture and household goods where possible, and recycle or haul away the rest - including hoarding situations.

Can you buy a house that's still in probate?

Yes. We work with the estate's attorney and the title company. In general, a personal representative needs letters testamentary or letters of administration before selling, and informal probate is usually faster than formal probate. Your probate attorney confirms what applies.

Still have a question about your situation?

Call us or send the address. You'll talk to the same person from first call to closing.
