We buy houses as-is for cash in New Brighton, no repairs, no commissions, no fees, and you choose the closing date.
Why New Brighton Sellers Call Us
New Brighton is mostly post-war housing with a stretch of newer building on top of it, and the usual reasons bring people to us: an older house that needs more than the owner wants to spend, an inherited property being settled by family who often live elsewhere, and landlords who are ready to be finished.
There is also one thing here that comes up in almost every conversation, and we would rather address it directly than pretend it does not exist.
The TCAAP Question, Answered Straight
The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant operated on the eastern edge of New Brighton and Arden Hills from 1941 to 2005. The Army disposed of waste at fourteen locations on the site, chlorinated solvents turned up in New Brighton groundwater wells in 1981, and the site went onto the federal Superfund list in 1983. It is the largest Superfund site in Minnesota, covering roughly 25 square miles.
Here is what that actually means if you own a house here:
- The city’s drinking water is treated and monitored specifically because of this. Treatment systems were built for it, and the EPA has continued upgrading them, most recently to handle 1,4-dioxane.
- The EPA removed the soil portion of the site from the Superfund list in 2019, having finished the cleanup work there.
- It is a documented, monitored, decades-old situation, not a rumour, and it has not stopped houses in New Brighton from selling for forty years.
It does not stop us buying, and it does not change our offer. If a buyer or a lender has raised it with you and made the sale complicated, that is a normal reason to call us.
What We Buy Here
- Post-war houses in original condition, however long the repair list.
- Inherited property, including where family are out of state.
- Rentals, occupied or vacant.
- Houses full of belongings. You clean out nothing.
Taxes, Foreclosure and Probate
All three run through Ramsey County, with the timelines on our Ramsey County page. Minnesota gives you more room than most people think, and you can still sell during the redemption period after a sheriff’s sale. Anything owed is paid at closing.
Vacant Houses and Utilities
City of New Brighton water and sewer, Xcel electric, CenterPoint gas. An empty house with everything shut off is fine by us.
