Non-Compliant Septic in Washington County, MN

Lake Elmo, MN, real house bought by Shawn Buys Houses

We bought this home from a gentleman who had owned for over 60 years. When the time came to sell he learned his septic was non-compliant with Washington County standards. He did some research and decided it would be too much of a hassle to have a mound system installed and so he called some home buying companies like us.

We set an appointment to view this home along with the other home buyers, we determined what was important for this seller, we assessed the repairs (this was the most well kept home we’ve seen in a very long time) determined the seller’s preferred timeline and structured a cash-offer to fit the situation. The seller chose our offer, favoring our transparency and GUARANTEE that there would be NO SURPRISES. We bought the home and plan to add a bathroom in the basement as well as some cosmetic upgrades before the home is sold to what will be it’s 2nd ever family.
