For Owners Without a Deadline

What Would You Actually Net — Direct vs. Listed?

A marketed sale may bring a higher price; a direct sale may reduce preparation and time on market. Compare the written terms and estimated net proceeds of both. The honest comparison runs through commissions, months of carry, re-trade risk, and deal-failure probability. We built a transparent model where you control every assumption — no email required to use it.

A Deliberately Simple Process

01

Submit the property

Address, asset type, and whatever context you have. Financials help but aren't required to start. Everything stays confidential.

02

Underwriting & one visit

We underwrite from real comparables and our own operating experience, walk the property once, and prepare a written offer with the math shown.

03

Certain closing

Our capital, your date — typically 30 days, faster when needed, or scheduled months out for tax or operational timing. We underwrite before we offer — no diligence games.

Lenders, attorneys, receivers, and fiduciaries: REO, notes, receiverships, and estate assets — as-is/where-is, single assets or pools, with a documented arms-length process. Brokers: your commission is protected on every referral.

Straight Answers

Are you brokers or buyers?

Buyers. MN CRE purchases property as principal — we are not listing your property, marketing it to others, or earning a commission. Part of the Livli family of companies, based in Saint Paul.

I don't have to sell. Why would I talk to you?

Because knowing your real direct-sale number is free intelligence. Owners use our valuations to weigh refinancing decisions, partnership buyouts, and hold/sell math — and some conclude listing is their better path, which we'll say plainly when it's true.

How are your purchases funded?

Some acquisitions we fund directly. Where a transaction uses financing, it is with lenders we have closed with repeatedly and where our credit is already approved — Royal Credit Union, Bridgewater Bank, Hiawatha National Bank, and Sunrise Banks among them. The practical difference for you: funding and timing are confirmed for each transaction, and any financing conditions are disclosed in the written agreement.

How is your offer different from a listed sale?

Lower gross, higher certainty, dramatically faster. No commission, no months of carry, and no last-minute price reductions based on conditions that were disclosed or reasonably knowable when we made our offer. Whether that trade favors you depends on the asset — our Net Proceeds Tool lets you run the honest comparison yourself.

Do you work with brokers?

Yes, regularly. Bring us a fitting listing or an off-market situation and your commission is protected in writing.

What geography do you cover?

All of Minnesota, with deepest activity in the Twin Cities metro. Greater Minnesota assets are welcome — underwriting simply reflects the local market.
