Did Someone Die In Your House?

Would you pay $11.99 to check your address for murders, suicides, suspicious or natural deaths, meth lab activity or fires? 

For some people, a death in a home, even of natural causes, can deter them from purchasing or renting a home. In Minnesota, deaths from natural causes do NOT have to be disclosed in a Seller's Property Disclosure Statement.

DiedInHouse.com a web-based service that helps you find out if anyone has died at any valid US address by instantly providing you with information that may impact your decision to purchase or rent a house starting at $11.99 per search.

They also include a search for known meth lab activity and fires in a home. These items are required to be disclosed on a MN Seller's Property Disclosure Statement though it's buyer beware as many sellers may be unaware of things that happened before they owned the home that were not disclosed to them and no matter what, you should always get a professional home inspection done.

Just as with any service, Died in House™ does not guarantee to have identified or confirmed all deaths that have occurred in or at a specific address and they provide no representation as to the presence of any ghost, haunting or any other paranormal activity; or the nature of any such future activities.

Does the thought of buying a home that may have had a death, paranormal activity REALLY BOTHER YOU?  Call me and I will help find out more about researching these things or help you look into building a new construction home.

Are you ready to start your home search regardless?


As a seller, are you questioning what else you may have to disclose when you sell your home? Let's chat further about your options and requirements.

A “Perfect” House

There is not now, nor will there ever be, a “perfect” house.   

It might be the "perfect" location, the "perfect" curb appeal, the "perfect" layout and the "perfect" yard... but all homes have flaws.

It is what it is. Especially in this Minnesota climate of drastic weather, homes have flaws and develop flaws.  Your new construction home will probably start "showing it's age" before you even move in.  Homes need maintenance. Some maintenance is cosmetic, some may be structural.  It needs to be evaluated as part of the cost of homeownership.

If you are buying a home, it is very important to exercise your right to a home inspection. See the included "For Your Protection, Get a Home Inspection" and take it seriously.  Hire a qualified inspector, show up for the inspection, ask questions, review the report thoroughly and ask more questions if necessary.  Every report will have a laundry list of flaws and/or problems.  It's up to you to make the final decision how they affect the value of the home.

With all that imperfection looming, can you still love the house you buy? Can you still find the "perfect" home for you? Absolutely!  Just be sure you are searching with your heart and evaluating with your head.
