Ryan helps line up timing with your next home and compares repairs with an as-is sale. - Named contact: Ryan Quade - Property-specific review - Written, itemized terms Request My Cash Offer [/contact-us/ →](/contact-us/) Talk With Ryan [/about/ryan-quade/ →](/about/ryan-quade/) - Twin Cities roots - Property-specific review - Written, itemized offer terms - Sell as-is, no renovation project - No obligation to accept any offer Sound Familiar? ## Moving From Tangletown? Timing Comes First ### Two closings, one winding street, and a moving truck You're buying your next home and need this one sold, with a possession date that doesn't leave you between houses. **Why it happens here:** Curving streets and hilly lots near the Washburn Park Water Tower and Minnehaha Creek make each house hard to compare, which can stretch a listing's timeline. **What we do:** Ryan sets the closing and possession dates in the written offer, so your move and the sale are planned together. ### Repairs you don't want to take on Listing prep can mean TISH items, paint, floors, or a roof. An as-is sale prices the condition instead of asking you to fix it. ### Tenants, leases, or belongings inside Occupied rentals and full houses add notice, access, and cleanout questions to every step. ### A date that won't move A new job, an estate deadline, or the next home sets the calendar. The sale has to fit around it. Situations We Review ## Sale Options Built Around Your Next Move Whatever brought you here, the review starts with your property.

The **Washburn Water Tower** stands on the hill near the center, and **Minnehaha Creek** forms the southern edge. First-time visitors do get turned around, so Ryan confirms directions and parking before a walkthrough. Sellers here are often coordinating a purchase at the same time. That makes the **possession date** and closing date as important as the price, and both get set in writing. ### Period Homes on Irregular Lots Tangletown homes are largely 1920s and 1930s period styles on lots shaped by the curving streets: Tudors, Colonials, and bungalows with detached garages. Hilly sections can bring drainage and retaining-wall questions. The **repair-versus-sale** comparison usually comes down to whether updates would finish in time for your move and pay back at sale. If they won't, an as-is offer with a coordinated possession date may fit better. If they will, listing could net more. Ryan lays out both, including carrying costs if your next home closes first. ### Local facts we check before an offer - Tangletown was officially named Fuller until 1996; the new name reflects winding streets that break from the South Minneapolis grid.

We coordinate toward your dates based on title work and lender requirements. We don't guarantee closing dates, but we plan carefully. ### Can I stay in my Tangletown home after closing? Sometimes. A post-closing occupancy agreement can allow a set period. Terms are agreed in writing. ### Should I repair before selling? If repairs finish in time and pay back, listing may net more. If not, an as-is sale may fit your move better. We'll compare both. ### Does a sloped lot affect the offer? It can if there are drainage, grading, or retaining-wall issues. Ryan notes them during the walkthrough. ### Should I sell before or after buying? It depends on your finances and risk. Our guide on selling before or after buying your next home covers bridge loans and contingent offers. ### Why do some old records use a different neighborhood name? Until 1996 the neighborhood was officially called Fuller. Older deeds, abstracts, and permits may use that name, so Ryan searches by address and checks both names when reviewing records. ### Still have a question about your property? Ask Ryan directly. You'll get a straight answer, even if it's "listing is the better fit."
