What we hear most

Maplewood TISH Report Worries? We Handle It

Estate and as-is sales; Ramsey surcharge; Torrens common in Ramsey County.

A TISH report due almost as soon as the sign goes up

The family wants to list the estate house, then learns the city report must be ready within days, and it is sure to list repairs.

Why it happens here: Maplewood requires a Truth-in-Sale of Housing report within three days of listing, and its 1950s-70s homes often show dated systems.

What we do: We skip the listing, order and pay for the evaluation, and buy the inherited house as-is.

Clear and simple

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.

No obligation

Get Your Written Offer First

The written offer costs nothing, and you can say no. If you say yes, we pay the seller's standard closing costs and any required city or septic inspection, and you pick the closing date.

An honest comparison

Cash Offer vs. Listing in Maplewood

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 it works here

Selling From Near or Far

We're based in the Twin Cities and buy homes statewide. For a house here, we can walk through in person or by video, whichever works for the family. Heirs who live out of state can do the whole sale remotely: a video walkthrough, one point of contact, and signing through the title company.

You'll get a preliminary price range within 24 hours of the first call and a firm written offer within 24-48 hours of the walkthrough. When title is clear, we can often close in about two weeks, and you choose the date. We also buy in nearby St. Paul, Roseville, Woodbury, Oakdale.

Local detail

Older Homes and the TISH Rule

Local housing: Mostly 1950s-70s homes.

Ramblers and split-levels from this era are often in good shape structurally but dated inside: original kitchens and baths, older windows, and basements that have seen some water. For a family that doesn't want to fund updates, selling as-is can make sense. See fix up or sell as-is.

Estate sales are a big share of what we see here. Often the house has sat empty for a while, with utilities, insurance, and taxes still due. Keep the heat on in winter and ask the estate's attorney about next steps. Our checklist for the first steps after inheriting a house covers the first 30 days.

Truth-in-Sale of Housing in Maplewood: We Handle It

Maplewood requires a Truth-in-Sale of Housing (TISH) inspection, with the report available within three days of listing. The report stays valid for two years or until ownership changes. When we buy, we arrange and pay for the evaluation, and the items it lists become our job. See our city-by-city TISH guide.

Probate and Title in Ramsey County

Probate for a home here runs through Ramsey County District Court, at the Ramsey County Courthouse in downtown St. Paul. In general, a personal representative needs letters from the court before selling, and informal probate is usually faster than formal probate. Your probate attorney confirms what applies, and the closing follows the court and attorney timeline.

Title: Torrens property is common in Ramsey County. A Torrens problem can take a court proceeding to fix, which can add months to an estate timeline. The county also adds an environmental surcharge to the state deed tax, and on a sale to us, we pay it. See abstract vs. Torrens title.
