Sell your vacant house in Minnesota
Vacant Minnesota houses still cost money every month: property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep, and an empty house is harder to insure and to keep secure. If you own a Minnesota vacant house, Prominent Cash Offer buys it as-is, so you can stop paying to hold your Minnesota vacant house.
A vacant house keeps costing you: the county property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep. Selling your Minnesota vacant house as-is stops those costs on the closing date you choose. For the tax side of selling a home, see IRS Publication 523, Selling Your Home.
Start with the address. If your Minnesota vacant house is a fit, you get a written cash offer with the amount and the terms spelled out, and no obligation to accept it. There are no fees or commissions, we pay the closing costs, and you choose the closing date.
Prominent Cash Offer buys Minnesota vacant houses directly, with no listing. Read the full guide to selling a vacant house, see how we buy houses in Minnesota. We buy vacant houses nationwide too. For state services, start at Minnesota.gov.
