In Minneapolis, a house can't even be listed until it has a Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH) evaluation. For many older homes, that report turns into a repair list. Census estimates put the median year built for Minneapolis homes around 1951, with more than 4 in 10 built before 1940. If you'd rather not deal with the TISH, the repairs or the showings, we'll make you a cash offer as-is.

Why Minneapolis owners sell to us
More than half of Minneapolis households rent, according to Census estimates, so many of our calls are from landlords. We also hear from heirs, owners facing a long TISH list, and people who've left the Twin Cities.
See our pages for an inherited house, probate, a house that needs repairs, being a tired landlord, or a vacant house.
Probate and foreclosure in Minneapolis
Estates for Hennepin County residents go through the Hennepin County District Court probate division. Most Minnesota foreclosures are by advertisement, with a redemption period after the sheriff's sale. See our Minnesota page.
Questions Minneapolis sellers ask
Do I still need a TISH evaluation if I sell to you?
The city's TISH rule applies to selling and showing most homes, so plan on getting the evaluation, but we buy regardless of what it finds, and you don't make the repairs.
Will you buy a duplex with tenants?
Yes. We buy with tenants in place.
Can I sell during the redemption period after a sheriff's sale?
Often, yes. Call quickly, because the clock is running.
