How it works

Three steps. No surprises.Start to close in about two weeks.

01
Tell us about the property
Five-minute form or a quick phone call — whichever feels easier. We'll ask a few questions about the house and your timeline. No financial pre-qualification, no credit check, no obligation.
Most sellers finish this in under 10 minutes.
02
Walk-through and offer
We come see the house in person, usually within 48 hours. You'll get a written offer with the comp data we used, so you can see exactly how we got to the number — and decide on your own time.
Offers are good for 7 days. No pressure, no expiring countdowns.
03
Pick your closing date
If you accept, we close through a licensed title company in your state — Florida or Minnesota — and you choose the closing date. Walk away with a check or wire, no fees, no commissions.
Average closing is about two weeks. Flexible if you need more time.

The story behind Northstar Homes

Built for sellers who deserve a straight answer.

Northstar Homes was founded by Elliott Peterson on a simple observation: most homeowners who needed to sell quickly were getting taken advantage of by an industry that wasn’t built with them in mind.

Northstar Homes was built around a different idea — that a fast, cash offer is a real product worth real money, and the way to compete isn’t to lowball harder. It’s to be more transparent, more responsive, and more connected to the community than the national franchises will ever be.

We operate as a real estate solutions company across Florida and Minnesota, buying homes for cash and helping homeowners sell on their timeline. Every offer we make is one we’d be comfortable walking through at your kitchen table.

FAQ

No. We're a real estate solutions company — not a listing brokerage. Northstar buys houses directly with our own funds, and the price we agree on is what you receive at closing. There's no listing, no agent representation, no MLS, and no commissions.

We pull recent comparable sales within the immediate neighborhood, adjust for condition based on our walk-through, account for any title or legal complications, and back out our renovation and carrying costs. We share the comp file with you so you can see the math.

It depends. Plenty of sellers have actually ended up with more money selling to us than they would have on the open market. We'll show you the comps we used to build the offer so you can decide for yourself.

That's our specialty. Roof issues, foundation problems, fire or water damage, hoarding situations, decades of deferred maintenance — we don't ask you to fix any of it. We don't even ask you to clean up.

We can close with the tenant in place. You don't have to evict, give notice, or coordinate move-out. We handle the tenant relationship after closing.

None whatsoever. The offer is yours to consider for seven days. If you decide to list with an agent or do nothing at all, that's perfectly fine. We don't follow up with high-pressure tactics.

No. We pay all standard closing costs — title, escrow, document prep, recording fees. There are no commissions, no inspection fees, no 'service charges.' The number on your offer is the number you receive at closing.

Yes, in most cases. Florida and Minnesota title work moves quickly when there are no liens or probate complications. If we run into title issues, we'll keep you informed in real time and adjust the closing date together.
