Whole-house cleanouts,
done with care.
Estates, packed houses and rentals across the Twin Cities. I set aside what matters to you, haul away the rest, and leave the house empty. Selling the house too? I can buy it as-is.

How a cleanout works
- 1
Tell me about the house
Fill out the form. It takes about two minutes, and I call you back. If you have photos of the house, have them handy.
- 2
Walk-through or photos, then a quote
I look at the house, or your photos, and give you a price before any work starts. You tell me what to keep, what to look for, and what can go.
- 3
Cleared out
My crew sorts, boxes and hauls. Keepsakes, photos and paperwork go to you; the rest is donated, recycled or hauled away, and the house is left empty.
Cleanouts I do
Whole houses are my specialty. Ask about smaller jobs too.
Estate cleanouts
After a parent or relative passes. I go slowly where it matters: photos, letters, papers and anything of value are set aside for the family. How an estate cleanout works
Packed and hoarded houses
Rooms full to the ceiling are normal for me. No judgment, no lectures, and no one else needs to see it. Read more
Rentals and move-outs
A tenant left everything behind, or you're moving and can't take it all. I get it ready for the next person. For landlords
Garages, basements, attics
The spaces that filled up over 30 years. One space or all of them. What can't go in the trash
What does a cleanout cost?
Every house is different. How much is in it, where the dumpster can go, and how many appliances, how much metal and how many tires there are all change the price. So there's no price list: every job gets its own estimate, and estimates are free.
Real cleanouts and houses I've redone
Real photos from my own projects. The St. Paul duplex was packed floor to ceiling; I cleared it out, then fixed it up.
Selling the house? I buy as-is
Sometimes the cleanout is the first step to selling. If you'd rather skip it, I buy the house as it sits, belongings and all, for cash. No repairs, no showings, no commissions, and you pick the closing date.
- No cleaning or repairs first
- No commissions or closing costs for you
- Close in as little as two weeks, or on your date
- Written offer, usually within 24–48 hours
Situations I can help with
Clear it out, sell it as-is, or both.
Inherited a house
Probate, a house full of belongings, family out of state. I can clear it out, or buy it and you leave what you don't want.
Packed with stuff
Years of belongings, hoarding, junk in every room. The St. Paul duplex above was full to the ceiling. I clear it out, or buy it with everything inside.
Major repairs
Roof, foundation, water damage, old wiring, failed inspection. I buy it as it sits.
Tired landlord
Duplexes and rentals that cost more than they earn. Problem tenants or tenants in place are OK.
Vacant or far away
A house that sits empty, or one you own from out of state. I handle it from the first call to closing.
Divorce or a move
A cleanout before you go, or a clean, quick sale with a firm closing date.
Selling: me vs. listing with an agent
Straight talk: if your house is in great shape and you have time, listing it will often get you a higher price. A cash sale trades some price for speed, certainty, and zero hassle. I'll tell you honestly which one fits your situation.
| Sell to Ty | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs & cleaning | None | Usually needed to sell well |
| Showings | One visit | Many, often for weeks |
| Commissions | None | Typically 5–6% of the price |
| Closing costs | I pay them | Seller usually pays part |
| Time to close | About 2–4 weeks, or your date | Often 2–4 months, listing to close |
| Financing falls through? | No financing contingency | Possible |
| Sale price | Fair, but below full retail | Often higher |
"I pay them" means the normal costs of closing. Anything tied to your house or loan, like a mortgage payoff, liens, unpaid taxes or city-required repairs, still comes out of your proceeds. I list it all in writing before you sign.
How I figure my offer
No mystery and no lowball games. Here's the math I use, with the numbers on the table so you can check them.
- What it will sell for after repairs. I look at what similar, updated homes near you actually sold for recently.
- Minus the repairs it needs. Roof, kitchen, floors, whatever it takes, priced from real contractor costs.
- Minus my costs to hold and resell it. Taxes, insurance, utilities and loan costs while I fix it, then closing costs and commissions when I sell.
- Minus a modest profit. That's how I stay in business. I'll tell you what it is.
Example only, not your house
No commissions, no repairs, and no closing costs come out of your side. The offer is what you get, minus any loan payoff.
This is an example to show my method, not an offer on your house and not a promise of any price. Your numbers depend on what the house needs, what similar homes recently sold for, and what it costs me to hold and resell it. When I give you an offer, I'll show you how I got there.
Selling in Minnesota: what to know
Truth-in-Sale-of-Housing
Minneapolis and St. Paul require a city-licensed evaluator's report before a home is sold, and some other cities have their own point-of-sale inspections. In Minneapolis, required repairs it finds can be passed to the buyer at closing. I'll walk you through what your city needs.
A local title company closes
I close with Executive Title, a Minnesota title company. They check the title, pay off your mortgage and any liens, and hand you the rest. You never pay me anything.
Inherited or in probate?
You can often sign a purchase agreement while probate is still open. The personal representative signs, and the court timeline sets the closing date. Your probate attorney can confirm what your case needs.

About Ty
I'm Ty Nosser. I started remodeling at 8, working beside my dad, and I've managed rental properties since I was 15. So far that's 6 houses bought and redone on my own, 10 more with partners, and 20-plus cleanouts. Whether I'm clearing out your house or buying it, you deal with me and my crew directly, not a franchise. When I buy, it's my own money on the line, so I make real offers I can close on, and Executive Title handles the paperwork and funds.

Questions people ask
How much does a cleanout cost?
Every house is different, so there's no price list. The cost depends on how much there is, where the dumpster can go, how many appliances and how much metal there is, and things like tires. That's why every job gets its own estimate, after a walk-through or from photos and before any work starts. The estimate is free. Why every price is different.
What happens to the things we want to keep?
Tell me before we start. Anything you name, plus photos, letters, papers, cash and jewelry we come across, gets set aside for you, not thrown out.
Where does everything else go?
Usable things are donated where possible, metal and appliances are recycled (Minnesota keeps appliances out of landfills), and the rest is hauled to a proper disposal site.
Can you clean out a house and then buy it?
Yes. If you want to sell, I can buy the house as-is with everything in it, so you skip the cleanout bill. Or I clear it out and you sell or list it however you like.
Is this legit? How do I know you'll really close?
Fair question. You never pay me anything, and you never hand over the deed until the money is there. A licensed Minnesota title company holds the funds and runs the closing, and you can have your own attorney or agent read the purchase agreement before you sign. Look me up, email me, meet me at the house. You'll be dealing with me, not a call center.
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. The offer is free and there's no obligation. If the number doesn't work, say no, and I won't keep calling you.
How do you decide on your offer?
I look at what similar homes nearby have sold for after being fixed up, then subtract the repairs the house needs plus my holding and selling costs. See the example above. I'll walk you through the real numbers for your house.
Are there any fees?
No. You pay no commissions, and I cover the normal closing costs.
Anything tied to your house or your loan still comes out of your sale proceeds, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, unpaid property taxes or assessments, and any repairs a city requires. I'll list all of it in writing before you sign.
Do I have to clean out the house?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. I'll handle it.
What if I still owe on my mortgage?
That's normal. The title company pays off your loan at closing out of the sale price, and you get the rest.
Who handles the closing?
I close with Executive Title, a licensed Minnesota title company. They hold the funds, handle the paperwork, and make sure you get paid.
Need a house cleared out, or ready to sell?
About two minutes, no obligation.
