Why Homeowners in Saint Paul Choose EasyOffer
Gas stations in Saint Paul are among the most difficult commercial properties to sell due to underground storage tank (UST) regulations, potential soil and groundwater contamination, and EPA or state environmental agency compliance requirements. Traditional lenders rarely finance gas station purchases without a clean Phase II environmental assessment, which can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many gas station owners are trapped with a property they cannot sell through conventional channels. EasyOffer buys gas stations for cash, handles all environmental due diligence, and does not require remediation before closing.
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
Do I need to remove the underground storage tanks before selling my gas station?
No. We buy gas stations with USTs in place, whether they are active, decommissioned, or abandoned. Tank removal and any required soil sampling are handled on our end after closing.
What if my gas station has known soil or groundwater contamination?
Known contamination does not disqualify your property. We evaluate the scope of environmental liability as part of our offer process and factor remediation costs into our valuation. Many gas station owners with contamination issues have no other viable path to sell.
Can I sell my gas station if it is no longer operating?
Yes. Closed or abandoned gas stations are actually common purchases for us. Whether pumps are still active or the station has been shuttered for years, we buy it as-is.
Will I still be liable for environmental cleanup after selling?
We structure the purchase to transfer environmental obligations as part of the transaction. Specific liability details vary by state law in Minnesota, but our goal is to give you a clean break from the property and its environmental history.
Does selling my gas station require an EPA or state agency approval?
In most cases, the property sale itself does not require environmental agency approval, though UST ownership transfer may need to be reported to Minnesota's environmental agency. We handle all regulatory notifications as part of our closing process.
How do you determine the value of a gas station with environmental issues?
We assess the real estate value, any existing fuel sales volume, the convenience store component if applicable, and then factor in estimated environmental remediation costs. Even heavily contaminated stations often have significant property value.
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.”
