Sell Your Richfield, MN House As-Is, Even If It Needs a Lot of Work
Hi, I’m Troy Molde, owner of Henry Home Buyer. I’m a small, local, solo cash home buyer. If you’ve been searching “sell my house fast Richfield” and your home needs work and is better suited to a cash buyer, I’d like to help.
The Richfield Houses I Buy
Yes, we buy houses in Richfield, MN, but not every house is a good fit for me. I buy for cash, as-is, fix the house up, and resell it. My best fit is the house that’s hard to sell the usual way:
- Full hoarder houses, where the cleanout alone feels impossible
- Homes that have been neglected for years, with roof, foundation, water or mold problems, or just decades of deferred upkeep
- Problem properties: code issues, damage left by tenants, unfinished projects, or a sale that already fell through
- Inherited and probate homes, including estates with several heirs who want a simple, fast close
If your house is updated and move-in ready, I’ll tell you straight: you’ll probably net more by listing with a good agent. I’d rather say that up front than make you an offer that doesn’t make sense for you.
Richfield’s Ramblers and Bungalows Are Mostly 60-Plus Years Old
Richfield is in Hennepin County, and it’s about as post-war as a suburb gets. The city’s comprehensive plan reports that 80% of its housing structures were built between 1940 and 1969, and that nearly 93% of its single-family houses are ramblers or expansion bungalows. Recent Census estimates still show the 1950s as the city’s biggest building decade, at about 31% of homes.
Those are solid houses, but at 60 to 80 years old many still have original electrical service, old plumbing, worn-out roofs and basements that were never meant to be finished. Add Richfield’s point-of-sale rules (below), and a house that needs a lot of work can be hard to sell the usual way.
” Troy purchased our townhome which needed some updating very easy and stressfree. He was very fair on price and was very straightforward and informative through the entire process. Everything went very quick. Highly recommend Troy and his team. “

How It Works When You Sell Your House As-Is in Richfield
- Call or fill out the form. Tell me a little about the house. You don’t need to clean or fix anything first.
- I walk through the house myself. I’m your single point of contact from that first walkthrough to closing. No handoffs.
- You get a written offer. That way you, your family or your attorney can read it over before anyone signs. No pressure.
- You pick the closing date. Sooner if you need it, later if you need time.
What you can count on:
- I pay with my own funds. There’s no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency that can fall apart a week before closing.
- No agent commissions or fees for you.
- I pay the closing costs, including Minnesota’s state deed tax, and any city-required inspection fee.
- Take what you want, leave what you don’t. No cleanout required.
- Out-of-state sellers don’t need to come back. My title company arranges a remote notary, so you can sign from wherever you live.
Richfield has some of the stricter sale rules in the area. Its Point of Sale ordinance requires single-family homes, duplexes and condos to be inspected by a city housing inspector, and a Certificate of Housing Maintenance must be obtained before closing. Code violations on the report have to be repaired and re-inspected before closing, or the buyer can take on the repairs under a cash escrow agreement with the city. When you sell to me, I pay the inspection fee. The required repairs can change my offer, so I’ll go over the inspection report with you and explain how it affects my number before you sign anything.
Need to Sell an Inherited House in Richfield?
If you need to sell an inherited house in Richfield, you may be juggling grief, a house full of a lifetime of belongings, and family members spread across several states, all at once. If your loved one lived in Richfield, probate is generally handled in Hennepin County.
I work around the probate timeline, and I’m used to estates with several heirs. One written cash offer gives everyone the same number to look at. My guide to selling a house in probate in Minnesota walks through how the process works. I’m a home buyer, not an attorney, so please run the details by your probate attorney.
What to Expect From My Cash Offer
Selling your house as-is to me is a lot like trading in a car at a dealership. You’ll get less money than you would selling it yourself, but it’s a lot faster and easier.
My cash offer will be quite a bit lower than what someone buying the house to live in would pay. That’s because I’m buying it to fix up and resell for a profit, just like you see on the TV shows. In exchange, you skip the repairs, the cleanout, the showings and the agent fees.
If your house is in good shape and getting top dollar matters most, listing with an agent will be the better choice. I’m happy to tell you honestly which way I think makes more sense.
Richfield Housing Market Snapshot: August 2026
July 2026 Sales Activity
As of September 5, 2026, there are 180 homes for sale in Richfield, MN, with 68 new listings hitting the market in August at a median asking price of $349,000. That asking price is down 0.3% from July, when the median was $350,000. Compared to a year ago, asking prices are up 3.4%. Here is what that means if you need to sell: the typical listing has already been sitting for 24 days, and that clock does not include the weeks of prep, repairs, and cleaning it takes to get a house market-ready. Sellers with a move-in ready house and time to wait can ride that out. If your house needs work, you are behind on payments, or you just need the money sooner, that is where Henry Home Buyer comes in. Of the 91 homes that sold in Richfield in July, 15 were bought by investors. In June, 16 sales closed all-cash, about one in 4. Cash buyers are active in this market.

That puts a traditional sale at 55 to 70+ days start to finish. We can close in as little as 7 days with a fair cash offer. No repairs, no fees, no hassle.
Questions Richfield Sellers Ask Me
Do you really buy hoarder houses in Richfield?
Yes. Full hoarder houses are some of the homes I’m best suited for. You don’t need to clean anything out. Take the things that matter to your family and leave the rest.
Does Richfield require a point-of-sale inspection before I sell?
Yes. Richfield requires a city Point of Sale inspection and a Certificate of Housing Maintenance before closing. Violations must be repaired and re-inspected before closing, or the buyer can assume them under a city cash escrow agreement. If you sell to me, I pay the inspection fee.
How fast can you close?
Because I’m not waiting on a bank or an appraisal, the timeline mostly comes down to the title work, any required inspection and your schedule. If the title is clean, that’s usually a matter of weeks, not months. If you need more time, we can set a later date.
How are you different from other cash home buyers in Richfield?
I’m local, I buy with my own money, and I handle the renovation after I buy. You deal with me from the first walkthrough to the closing table, and you get every offer in writing so you can take your time with it.
