The housing stock in River Falls

River Falls is a university city straddling the Pierce County line, with a student rental market near campus alongside family housing and newer growth. Older near-campus houses have frequently been divided into units.

Why River Falls sellers call us

Student rentals and the county-line split are the two things that most often complicate a River Falls sale.

How it works

Three steps in River Falls

1. Tell us about the house

The address and a rough idea of condition. We do not need photographs or paperwork to start.

2. We come and look at it

We walk the property in River Falls ourselves, then send a written cash offer within 24 hours with the math shown.

3. You pick the closing date

Seven days or three months, at a Wisconsin title company, with our On-Time Guarantee behind the date.

River Falls sellers ask us

The city is in two counties. Which one records our deed?
Whichever county the parcel actually sits in — St. Croix or Pierce. The title company confirms it as routine, though it can slow the search slightly.
Can you buy a divided near-campus property?
Yes, occupied or empty, and we can time the closing around the academic calendar.
I am moving to the Twin Cities side, or away from them, and need this done by a specific date. Can you commit?
Yes — the date is the point. You pick it, we close on it, and our On-Time Guarantee puts $5,000 in escrow at a Wisconsin title company behind that date. If closing after your move is simpler, we will hold a date weeks out.
I work in Minnesota. Does the sale follow Minnesota or Wisconsin rules?
Wisconsin. The property is in St. Croix County, so the deed is recorded here and Wisconsin's transfer fee and tax-proration rules apply regardless of which side of the river you work on. The title company will lay it all out on the settlement statement before closing.
What if I still have a mortgage?
That is normal and it is handled at closing. The title company obtains a payoff figure from your lender and the loan is satisfied out of the sale proceeds. Whatever remains after the payoff and any other liens is yours.
What if I owe back property taxes or there is a lien?
That is very common and it is generally solvable. Liens and delinquent taxes get paid out of the sale proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket beforehand. The title company identifies everything attached to the property during the title search, and we work through the payoffs as part of the closing.
What if I owe more than the house is worth?
Then a straight sale may not be the right move, and we will tell you rather than wasting your time. Depending on the situation a short sale, a conversation with your lender, or a HUD-approved housing counsellor may serve you better. Those counsellors are free, and we would rather point you at one than take a deal that leaves you worse off.

Local resources

Useful St. Croix County offices and services

Selling in River Falls means dealing with two levels of government: River Falls handles your assessment, permits and any code enforcement, while St. Croix County records the deed and collects delinquent taxes. These are the offices and services that actually matter when you sell.

St. Croix County Register of Deeds

Hudson, Wisconsin

Where the deed to your property is recorded, and where the title company will search the chain of title and anything recorded against it.

St. Croix County Treasurer

Hudson, Wisconsin

Handles delinquent property taxes once they pass out of the local municipality. If you are behind, this office can tell you the exact payoff and where your parcel sits in the county process — call them before you decide anything.

St. Croix County Circuit Court

Hudson, Wisconsin

Wisconsin foreclosure is judicial, so any action against your property is filed here rather than advertised in a newspaper. Probate for an estate is administered here too.

St. Croix County Land Records / GIS

Hudson, Wisconsin

Parcel maps, assessments and ownership records. Useful for confirming lot lines, acreage, and what the county thinks your property actually is.

St. Croix Riverway standards

Property near the river can sit under additional protective standards that limit rebuilding and clearing.

Free statewide help

None of these are us, and none of them cost anything. If you are in trouble with a mortgage, talk to a counsellor before you talk to any buyer, including us.

  • 211 Wisconsin — Dial 211 for local assistance programmes — utilities, housing, and emergency help.
  • HUD-approved housing counsellors — Free, independent advice on foreclosure, mortgage trouble and selling decisions. Genuinely free — if anyone asks for an upfront fee to stop a foreclosure, that is the shape most foreclosure-rescue scams take.
  • CFPB housing counsellor search — A second way to find the same free counselling if the HUD tool is down.
  • Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA) — Public search of Wisconsin circuit court records. If you are unsure whether a foreclosure has actually been filed against your property, or what stage it is at, this is where to look.

We list these because they are genuinely useful, not because we are affiliated with them. Contact details change — search for the office by name rather than relying on a number printed on a website.
