Quick answers
Questions we hear most
Can I sell my house myself in Minnesota?
Yes. Minnesota does not require an agent. You still owe the buyer the required disclosures and any inspection your city requires, and a title company or attorney should handle the purchase agreement, deed and closing.
Do you help people who sell their own home?
Yes, for free: a home value from recent sales and a second opinion on your price, paperwork or an offer, with no obligation to list with us.
What paperwork does a by-owner sale need?
The seller’s disclosures (material facts, wells, septic, radon, lead paint for homes built before 1978, meth, and association documents for condos and townhomes), any city inspection report, a purchase agreement, and the deed, eCRV and settlement statement prepared at closing. Our FSBO paperwork checklist links each one to its official source.
General information, not legal or tax advice. A Minnesota real estate attorney or title company should prepare or review your contract and closing documents.
