Why Homeowners in Saint Paul Choose EasyOffer
Every missed payment in Saint Paul adds late fees, damages your credit, and brings you closer to foreclosure. Lenders typically begin the foreclosure process after 90 to 120 days of missed payments. Selling now lets you pay off the mortgage, keep any remaining equity, and avoid the cascading consequences of inaction.
St. Paul offers notably more affordable home prices than neighboring Minneapolis, with medians near $270K, while sharing the same strong Twin Cities economy anchored by healthcare, tech, and state government. The Ford Site transformation in Highland Park and Lowertown's arts renaissance have driven above-average appreciation in those submarkets, with investors finding strong rental demand from state workers, university staff, and young professionals. St. Paul's Victorian housing stock and walkable neighborhoods create compelling opportunities for renovation and flip investors.
We also serve property owners in nearby West Saint Paul, South Saint Paul, Mendota Heights, and throughout Minnesota.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house if I am behind on mortgage payments?
Yes. As long as you still own the property, you can sell it. All missed payments, late fees, and the remaining mortgage balance are paid from the sale proceeds at closing.
How many payments can I miss before foreclosure in MN?
Most lenders in Minnesota begin the foreclosure process after 3 to 4 missed payments (90 to 120 days). However, timelines vary by lender and loan type. Acting sooner gives you more options.
Will I still owe money after selling if I am behind on payments?
If your home sells for more than you owe (including missed payments and fees), you keep the difference. If you owe more than the home is worth, we can negotiate a short sale with your lender.
What if the bank has already sent me a default notice?
A default notice means the clock is ticking, but you can still sell. We work fast and can close before the foreclosure process advances further. Contact us immediately to discuss your timeline.
Will selling hurt my credit less than foreclosure?
Significantly. A completed foreclosure can drop your credit score by 100 to 160 points and stays on your record for 7 years. A standard sale, even with missed payments already reported, is far less damaging.
Can I sell if I have a second mortgage or home equity loan?
Yes. All liens, including second mortgages and HELOCs, are paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. The title company ensures every lien holder is satisfied.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
