We buy houses as-is for cash in Maplewood, no repairs, no commissions, no fees, and you choose the closing date. Maplewood is a big, oddly shaped city that wraps around North St. Paul in two separate pieces, and the housing in one part of it has little to do with the housing in another. We look at every property in person.
Why Maplewood Sellers Call Us
Maplewood grew up around a company. 3M built its research campus here starting in 1955 and moved its headquarters in by 1962, and the neighbourhoods that filled in around it were built for the people who worked there. The city incorporated in 1957, partly to keep St. Paul from annexing it.
That history explains most of the calls we get. A great many Maplewood houses were bought new by one family in the late fifties and sixties and never changed hands. Sixty-five years later those houses are being sold by the children, often from another state, and often needing everything at once.
The rest are the situations we see anywhere: a landlord who has had enough, a house that needs more work than the owner wants to fund, and an owner who simply needs a date certain rather than a listing that may or may not close.
What Is Usually Wrong With a Maplewood House
- A single-owner house with original everything. Furnace, panel, windows, kitchen, all installed once and maintained since.
- Basements. Post-war block foundations, old drain tile, and water that has found its way in.
- Fifty years of belongings. You clean nothing out. Take what you want and leave the rest.
- Storm damage on a roof, sometimes with an insurance claim that stalled and never got finished.
None of that stops us. A house that a conventional buyer’s lender would refuse is an ordinary purchase here.
Taxes, Foreclosure and Probate
These run through Ramsey County, and our Ramsey County page has the actual timelines. Worth knowing that Minnesota gives you more room than people assume, and that in a foreclosure the redemption period after the sheriff’s sale is time in which you can still sell. Whatever is owed comes off at closing. We work with estates and attorneys, and we never publish anyone’s name.
Vacant Houses and Utilities
City of Maplewood water and sewer, Xcel electric, CenterPoint gas. A house sitting empty with everything shut off is completely normal for us and we do not need utilities on to make an offer.
