Tarek El Moussa · As Seen on HGTVThat Empty House in the Twin Cities? It's Costing You. Sell It Without The Headache.
Serving Twin Cities & Surrounding Areas
You know that feeling: another month, another stack of bills for a property that sits empty. Maybe it's a rental unit in St. Paul that's been vacant for months, or perhaps an inherited home in Eden Prairie that needs more work than you can handle. In the Twin Cities, vacant properties don't just sit there; they actively cost you, from escalating utility bills and property taxes to the constant worry of vandalism or squatters.
Tarek Buys Houses understands the unique burden of a vacant property in Twin Cities. We see the potential, not just the problems. Whether it's a fixer-upper in Brooklyn Park or a property that's become a legal liability, we offer a fast, fair cash solution. Stop throwing good money after bad. Let us take that weight off your shoulders, quickly and with complete transparency. You deserve peace of mind, not another utility bill for an empty house.

What Sellers Like You Experience
The Traditional Route
Selling a vacant property traditionally means investing in repairs and cleanup to make it market-ready, then waiting months for a buyer — all while carrying costs continue to drain your finances on a house nobody lives in.
A Direct Sale
A cash buyer purchases the property as-is, regardless of condition or how long it's been empty. No cleanout, no repairs, no winterization needed. The carrying costs stop at closing.
The True Cost of Keeping a Vacant Home
Vacant homes often cost more to insure than occupied ones. Pipes can freeze and burst. Vandalism and code violations are common risks. And the house depreciates faster because no one is maintaining it. Every month you hold it, you're paying to own a liability.
