If you need to sell your house fast in the Twin Cities, you've got more options than most Minnesota markets, but that doesn't mean a traditional listing is the right one. If the property needs work, if you're on a deadline, or if you just don't want to deal with three months of showings and negotiations, a direct cash sale gets you to closing faster with a lot less friction. We buy houses in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and throughout the Twin Cities metro for cash, and we can close in as little as seven days.
How selling your Twin Cities house for cash works
You call us or fill out the form on this page. We ask a few questions about the property and your timeline. We come see the house in person, pull comparable sales from your neighborhood, and put together a written offer. You'll see exactly how we arrived at the number. If it works for you, we sign the agreement and close at a local title company on the date you choose. You walk away with a check or wire, no commissions, no closing costs on your end.
Most sellers we work with in the Twin Cities go from first phone call to closing in about two to three weeks.

Situations we help Twin Cities homeowners with
Every house has a story. Here are some of the situations that bring Twin Cities homeowners to us.
Selling a house that needs major repairs in the Twin Cities
Maybe the house has been deferred on maintenance for years. Maybe there's foundation issues, water damage in the basement, a roof that's past its life, or outdated electrical and plumbing that would cost tens of thousands to bring up to code. Traditional buyers can't get financing on a house with these kinds of problems. We buy houses in any condition and we don't ask you to fix a thing.
Selling an inherited house in the Twin Cities
You inherited a property from a family member and you don't know what to do with it. Maybe it's full of belongings you don't have the energy to sort through. Maybe there are multiple heirs who all want different things. We buy inherited homes as-is, work with all parties involved, and handle everything from the cleanout to the probate coordination.
Selling a house in pre-foreclosure in the Twin Cities
If you've fallen behind on your mortgage, selling before the sheriff's sale is almost always the best outcome. You pay off the lender, keep your equity, and avoid a completed foreclosure on your record. Even if the sheriff's sale has already happened, Minnesota's six-month redemption period means you may still have time to sell. We can move fast enough to close within that window.
Selling a rental property with problem tenants in the Twin Cities
The Twin Cities rental market has its share of headaches. If you're dealing with tenants who aren't paying, tenants who are damaging the property, or an eviction process that's dragging on through housing court, selling the property gets you out of the situation entirely. We buy rental properties with tenants still in them and take over the tenant situation after closing.
Selling a house with code violations in Minneapolis or St. Paul
Minneapolis and St. Paul both have aggressive code enforcement. If you've got open violations, repair orders, or condemnation notices, selling through traditional channels is nearly impossible. We buy houses with code violations, handle the city on our end, and close without requiring you to resolve anything first.
Why Twin Cities homeowners sell to Northstar Homes
The Twin Cities market moves fast when conditions are right, but if your property doesn't fit the mold of what traditional buyers are looking for, you can sit on the market for months. We don't care about cosmetic condition, deferred maintenance, or tenant situations. We care about the bones of the property and the numbers.
We show you the comparable sales we used to build your offer. We pay all closing costs. We don't renegotiate at the closing table. And we close on your timeline, whether that's next week or next month.
Minnesota is one of two states we operate in, and the Twin Cities is the largest market we buy in. We're not a national company spreading itself across fifty states. We go deep in the markets we know, and we know this one.
