Minnesota property stuck in limbo? We can take it from here.
ARCH Relief is a Twin Cities real estate company. We buy properties held up by probate, tax forfeiture or title problems, including a single heir's share. We work through the legal problem with licensed attorneys and title companies, and you see our offer in writing before you sign anything.
Heirs who can't agree, owners of a fractional share, houses stuck in title or tax trouble: for a long time, many of these Minnesota families had nowhere to turn, because a traditional sale needs clear title and every owner on board. Most companies and investors won't take on these homes: the legal work is complex and expensive, and there's no certainty it can be solved. ARCH Relief buys these homes, including a single owner's share, with every term in writing.
The legal side is handled with a Minnesota real estate attorney who is Board Certified as a Real Property Law Specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association, a designation held by fewer than 1% of Minnesota attorneys.
You tell us what is going on. We do the research and the legal coordination, and nothing is final until you agree to it in writing.

Founder
Daniel Minor
I started ARCH Relief after years in mortgage watching families lose homes they couldn't untangle: heirs who couldn't agree, paperwork no one filed, houses lost to the county. The homes other investors walk away from are the families I want to help. I'll learn your family's story and do the work it takes to find a way forward.
Our purchase documents are prepared by a licensed Minnesota real estate attorney, and our closings run through licensed Minnesota title companies that handle the title work, insurance and recording, so everything is done properly and on the record. You're always welcome to have your own attorney or a trusted family member review everything before you sign. We encourage it.
We'd rather earn your trust than rush your signature
When I was trying to help families like the man in my story, most of the people I reached out to treated them like a file to close: a quick call, a quick number, and very little listening. That never sat right with me.
We do it differently. Before we ever talk about the house, we want to hear what happened: who lived there, what it meant to your family, and what's weighing on you now. You'll always know who you're talking to, what happens next, and why. No pressure, no disappearing after the paperwork. Just people who pick up the phone and treat you the way we'd want our own family treated.
A recent project
A St. Paul home, back in use.
A home ARCH Relief purchased and renovated in St. Paul. This is the part of the work most people never see: a house that was held up becomes a place someone lives again.

Why the name
Named for the bridge you already know.
Our name comes from the Stone Arch Bridge. It has carried people across the Mississippi for more than a century, and it is what we try to be for a family: a steady way across, from a home that is stuck to one that is sold, settled or lived in again.

Questions
Clear answers before you decide anything.
Don't see your question? Call (763) 313-8891 and we'll talk it through.
How did you get my contact information?
From public records. We review county deed and property tax records and probate court filings to identify owners and heirs of properties that may be stuck. If you'd like us to stop contacting you, just tell us and we will.
Is ARCH Relief a real, local company?
Yes. ARCH Relief LLC is a Minnesota company. You can look us up on the Minnesota Secretary of State's business search, call us at (763) 313-8891, and meet us in person by appointment at Carlson Towers, 601 Carlson Parkway in Minnetonka. Every sale closes through a licensed title company.
Do I have to sell to you?
No. Talking with us doesn't commit you to anything. If we make an offer, it's in writing, and you can take your time, talk it over with your family or have your own attorney review it.
What if I only own part of the property?
In many cases, we can buy just your share, even when the other owners aren't ready to sell. Every situation is different, so we'll explain in plain terms what a sale of your share would mean for you and for the other owners before you decide.
Do we have to pay anything out of pocket?
No. We cover the costs of the title, probate and county work. ARCH Relief is a buyer: we purchase the property, or your share of it, at a price set out in a written agreement, so you see the full picture before you sign anything.
Our property is facing tax forfeiture. Is it too late?
Often there are still options before the county's deadline, and sometimes after. The timeline matters, so the sooner you call, the more choices your family usually has. We'll look at the county record with you in the first conversation.
How long does this take?
It depends on the situation. A simple title fix moves faster than an estate with several heirs, and court and county schedules play a part. After we review your property, we'll give you a realistic estimate and keep you updated along the way.
Are you attorneys? Do you give legal advice?
No. ARCH Relief is a real estate company, not a law firm, and we don't give legal, financial or tax advice. We work alongside licensed Minnesota attorneys and title companies, and you're always welcome to have your own attorney review anything we propose.
Where do you work?
Mainly Hennepin and Ramsey counties and the rest of the Twin Cities, and we look at properties in Greater Minnesota too.
