General questions
These cover who we are and what kind of sellers we help.
What is Xemplar Investing & Co?
Xemplar Investing & Co helps homeowners across Minnesota sell houses off market. We buy properties directly, which means no public listing, no open houses, and a simpler path for sellers who want speed, privacy, or problem solving.
Are you a real estate agent?
No. We are real estate investors, not agents representing you on the market. Our role is different from a traditional listing approach.
What types of properties do you buy?
We work with single family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes, rental properties, vacant homes, distressed houses, and other residential properties throughout Minnesota.
Do you only work with distressed homes?
No. We talk with sellers in all kinds of situations. Some homes need major repairs. Others are clean homes where the owner simply wants a faster or more private sale.
Questions about the process
These help homeowners understand what happens next.
How does your process work?
- You contact us by phone, text, or email.
- We learn about the property and your situation.
- If it looks like a fit, we review the numbers and next steps.
- If you want to move forward, we work toward a closing date that fits your timeline.
How fast can you close?
That depends on the property, title, and your situation. In many cases we can move quickly. If you need more time, we can often work around that too.
Do you charge commissions or fees?
No agent commissions. We aim to keep the process simple for sellers. Any transaction details are explained clearly before anything is signed.
What if I do not like the offer?
That is completely fine. There is no obligation to move forward. If it does not make sense for you, you can say no and explore other options.
Questions about property condition
These are common concerns for sellers dealing with repairs, junk, or cleanup.
Do you buy houses as is?
Yes. We buy houses as is. You do not need to repair, update, or renovate the property before reaching out.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Many sellers come to us because they do not want to deal with trash, old furniture, storage items, or difficult cleanout situations.
Do you buy homes that need major repairs?
Yes. We talk with homeowners dealing with roof problems, plumbing issues, electrical issues, foundation concerns, mold, water damage, outdated interiors, and more.
Do you buy vacant homes?
Yes. Vacant homes are common. If the property is sitting empty and becoming a burden, we can talk through your options.
Questions about difficult situations
Many homeowners reach out because there is more going on than just selling a house.
Do you buy inherited houses or probate properties?
Yes. We work with inherited homes and probate situations, including homes that are outdated, full of contents, or involve multiple heirs.
Can you help if I am behind on payments or dealing with foreclosure?
Yes. We regularly speak with homeowners facing foreclosure pressure or urgent timing problems. The earlier you reach out, the more options you usually have.
Can I sell if I owe back taxes or the property has liens?
In many cases, yes. Tax issues, liens, judgments, and title complications do not always stop a sale. Each property is different, but many problem situations can still be worked through.
Do you buy rental properties with tenants?
Yes. We talk with landlords dealing with non paying tenants, property damage, lease issues, and landlord fatigue.
