How it works

We make selling your home easy

Papa Buys Properties is here to simplify selling your home. We took out the agents, the showings, the repairs and the long waits. Our process is quick, clear, and honest. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out.

What a direct sale includes

Direct purchase

We make an offer on your property and, if you accept, buy it directly. No agent commission, no listing, no staging.

Flexible closing

We work around a timeline that fits your life, whether that's a fast close or several months out.

Any condition

Pristine or condemned, paid off or little to no equity, tenants in place or long empty. We'll take a look and give you a straight answer.

Step by step

From first message to closing

01

Contact us

Reach out through the website or call (763) 878-7272. Give us the basic details of your property and we get back to you quickly to talk through your needs and your situation.

02

Schedule a walkthrough

We set a time that suits you to walk through the house. We look at its features, any repairs it needs, and the market in your area. Our team is respectful and keeps it short.

03

Receive your offer

We present a fair, no-obligation cash offer based on the house's condition and the market, with the reasoning explained. No hidden fees, no commissions, no strings.

04

Accept on your timeline

Selling a home is a big decision. Take the time you need to review the offer and ask questions. There is no rush.

05

Close and get paid

Once you accept, we schedule a closing date that fits your life. A title company handles the paperwork, and you receive your payment at closing.

How we follow up

What happens after you submit your info

When you fill out the form on this site, Papa Nick's team follows up by phone or by text, about the property you told us about. That's the only reason we'd ever text you: to ask a question, schedule a call, or talk through an offer.

We do not send marketing text blasts, and we do not text anyone who hasn't submitted their information to us first. Every text includes a way to reply STOP and stop hearing from us, no questions asked.

The kind of text you'd get

"Hi, this is Papa Buys Properties following up on the info you submitted about your property. Are you still considering selling? Reply STOP to opt out."

Only sent to people who submitted the form on this site.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I sell my house?

We can close the sale in as little as a week, or whenever it suits your timeline. Most of the pace comes from title work and what you need. If you want months, we wait. If you need speed, tell us early and we build the offer around your date.

Are you actually buying my house, or listing it?

Buying it. We are not agents and we never list your house. When we agree on a number, we are the ones purchasing the property, which is why there is no commission and no showings. A title company handles the closing like any other sale.

Can I sell if I live out of state?

Yes. Many owners live far from the house. We arrange the walkthrough, make a written offer, and handle the closing process so you can sign remotely with the title company. You stay informed at each step and never need to travel to Minnesota.

Can I sell if I'm in foreclosure?

Yes. You still own the house, so you can sell it. Selling before the sheriff's sale is one option, and if the house is worth more than you owe, that difference is yours. Also talk to a Minnesota attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your choices.

How do you value my home?

From recent sales of comparable homes nearby, the condition of the property, and the repairs it needs. During the walkthrough we look at the house itself, then give you a fair written offer. We explain the math in plain words so you can judge it.

What if my house is damaged?

We still buy it. Foundation problems, water damage, fire damage, or an outdated house are all normal for us. You do not repair or clean anything. We look at the house as it sits and price the work into the offer.

Can I sell if my house is condemned?

Yes. You still own it, so you can sell it. The city's orders stay with the house, so we deal with them after we buy. We explain the numbers before you sign. A Minnesota attorney can answer questions about the orders themselves.

Can I sell if I have little or no equity?

Often, yes. Through creative financing, we can sometimes make an offer when a normal sale cannot clear what you owe. That might mean paying over time. Terms deals carry real tradeoffs, so have an attorney read the paperwork. Send us the details for a straight answer.

Is there any fee or commission?

No. There is no commission, no listing fee, and no charge for talking with us. If you accept our offer, the number we agree on is the number. The title company lays out standard closing costs in writing before you sign anything.

Do I need to clean out the house before selling?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest. Furniture, appliances, or a garage full of things you would rather not deal with are fine. We handle whatever is left after you move out. Cleaning, repairs and staging are all off your list.

Am I obligated if I fill out the form?

No. Filling out the form starts a conversation, nothing more. You can take our offer, get other opinions, or walk away at any point. Talking with us never costs anything and never commits you to selling.

What areas do you buy in?

The Twin Cities metro, including Minneapolis, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Burnsville, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Shakopee and more. Our office is in Chaska. If you are not sure your property is in our area, send it anyway and we will tell you straight.

Will you text me if I reach out?

Only about your inquiry. When you submit the form and check the consent box, we may text to ask a question, schedule a walkthrough, or discuss the offer. We never send marketing blasts, and replying STOP stops everything right away.

Ready to talk about your property?

No obligation. Just tell us what's going on and we'll follow up.
