Minneapolis focus. Clear next steps. ![Portrait of Ryan Quade on the porch of a Minneapolis craftsman bungalow](/images/misc/portrait-of-ryan-quade-twin-cities-local-in-his-th.webp) Background - Grew up in Shoreview, Minnesota - Attended Summit Academy - Rental property owner About Ryan ## A Local, Accountable Point of Contact Ryan Quade grew up in Shoreview and attended Summit Academy, which gives his work a personal connection to the Twin Cities. He is the named contact for We Buy Houses in Minneapolis, which means your inquiry goes to a real person who is responsible for answering it. The business focuses on a practical question: **what should you do with a property when owning it no longer fits your plans?** It might be an inherited house with years of belongings inside, a rental that needs too much maintenance, or a home that needs repairs before a move. A condo, a duplex, and a detached house can raise very different questions, even on the same block. So the starting point is always the actual property and the person selling it. Ryan also owns rental property, so leases, turnovers, and repair calls are familiar ground. That experience shapes how he talks with landlords and how he reviews occupied homes. ### What we will and won't promise We Buy Houses in Minneapolis is a new business. We won't show reviews we don't have, quote transaction counts we haven't earned, or promise outcomes we can't control. We don't guarantee closing dates, promise to stop foreclosures, or give legal, tax, or probate advice. What we do promise is a clear explanation of the evaluation and written terms you can compare with any other option. "The goal is to make the next step understandable. If listing with an agent would be better for you, I'll say so." Ryan Quade How Ryan Works ## Four Commitments on Every Inquiry ![Ryan Quade and a homeowner reviewing written offer terms at a kitchen table](/images/misc/ryan-quade-and-a-minneapolis-homeowner-reviewing-w.webp) ### Listen first Your priorities set the agenda: timing, family, tenants, belongings, or simply wanting fewer projects. ### Explain the evaluation Condition, occupancy, comparable sales, and costs are reviewed for your actual property. ### Make the terms clear Price, contractual buyer, expenses, contingencies, and responsibilities, all in writing. ### Respect your choice Space to compare options and ask questions, including honest advice when listing fits better. Transaction Role ## Who Buys Your House, and Ryan's Role Every written offer identifies the **contractual buyer**, the person or entity that signs the purchase agreement, and explains Ryan's role in the transaction. You should know who you're contracting with before you sign anything, whether you work with us or anyone else. We encourage every seller to ask any cash buyer the same questions: Who is the contractual buyer? Can the contract be assigned to someone else? Can you show proof of funds? Which title company will close? Our guide on how to vet a cash home buyer [/guides/how-to-vet-cash-home-buyer/ →](/guides/how-to-vet-cash-home-buyer/) lists more. Licensing status and any brokerage affiliation will be listed here once they are confirmed. If the Minneapolis and Saint Paul businesses Ryan represents operate as one company, that relationship will be disclosed here as well. Transparency ## Our Open-Book Selling Standards We are a new business, so we won't show reviews we don't have. Here is what you can hold us to instead. ### How an Offer Is Evaluated - Comparable sales for similar Minneapolis properties - Realistic repair scope - Holding and transaction costs explained ### What the Written Terms Explain - Who the contractual buyer is - Seller-paid vs. buyer-paid costs - Contingencies before an offer is firm ### What Happens After You Contact Ryan - A direct conversation about your goals - No pressure to accept - Honest advice if listing fits better ![](/images/misc/classic-minneapolis-craftsman-bungalow-street-at-g.webp) No obligation.
