Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQs and Getting Started

What types of houses do you buy?

We buy houses in any condition, including homes that need repairs, are vacant, or have tenants. Whether your property is in great shape or needs major work, we can make you a fair cash offer.

Do I need to clean or make repairs before selling?

No! We buy houses as-is, meaning you don’t have to fix anything or even clean up before selling. This allows you to save time and money while avoiding the hassle of home improvements.

How do I get started with selling my home?

Getting started is easy! Simply fill out our Get a Cash Offer form, and we’ll reach out to discuss your home and make you a fair cash offer.

Are there any fees or commissions when selling to you?

No, there are no hidden fees, agent commissions, or closing costs when you sell to us. You get to keep the full cash offer without worrying about extra expenses.

How We Buy Houses

How do you determine the offer amount?

Our offers are based on your home’s After Repair Value (ARV), minus the cost of repairs, selling expenses, and a fair profit margin. We evaluate your home’s condition, location, and market value to ensure a fair offer.

Can I sell my house if I still owe money on it?

Yes! Even if you have a mortgage, we can still make a cash offer and pay off your remaining balance at closing. We’ll work with you to ensure the process is smooth and stress-free.

Do you buy rental properties with tenants?

Yes, we buy houses with tenants in place, whether they are paying rent or not. If you’re a landlord looking to sell, we can make the process simple and handle any tenant situations.

Do you buy vacant properties?

Yes! Selling a vacant house can be challenging, but we specialize in buying homes in any condition. You don’t need to make repairs or worry about maintenance—we take care of everything.

Timeline and Closing

How long does it take to sell my house for cash?

We can typically close in as little as 7-10 days, but we also work with your preferred timeline. Whether you need to sell quickly or need extra time, we can adjust to fit your needs.

Can I choose my closing date?

Yes! You have complete control over the closing date, whether you need to move fast or want extra time to prepare. We will work with your schedule to make the process as convenient as possible.

What happens after I accept the cash offer?

Once you accept, we handle all the paperwork and coordinate with a title company to complete the sale. You’ll receive your cash payment on the agreed closing date.

How do I get paid after closing?

On closing day, you will receive your full payment via certified check or wire transfer. Since there are no fees or commissions, you get to keep the entire offer amount.

Legal and Paperwork

What paperwork is required to sell my house?

We handle most of the paperwork for you! The main document you’ll sign is the purchase agreement, which outlines the offer and terms. The title company will also handle necessary legal documents.

Do I need a lawyer to sell my house for cash?

No, but you are welcome to have an attorney review the documents if you choose. We work with trusted local title companies to ensure a smooth and legally sound transaction.

Will I have to pay taxes on the sale?

Selling a house for cash may have tax implications, depending on your situation. It’s always a good idea to speak with a tax professional before selling.

What happens to my mortgage when I sell?

If you still owe on your mortgage, we’ll pay off the remaining balance at closing, and you’ll receive the rest of the proceeds. You won’t have to worry about handling the final mortgage payments.

Real Estate Services

Do you work with real estate agents?

No, we buy houses directly from homeowners, so you don’t need an agent. This means no agent fees, commissions, or extra costs, allowing you to keep more money from the sale.

Can I sell my house if it's in probate?

Yes, we can help you sell a probate property, even if the legal process isn’t complete yet. We’ll work with you and your probate attorney to make the process as smooth as possible.

Do you buy houses in rural areas?

Yes! We buy homes all over Missouri, including rural areas. If you’re unsure whether we buy in your location, just reach out and we’ll be happy to discuss your property.

Can you help me stop foreclosure?

Yes! If you’re behind on payments and need a way out, we can make a fast cash offer to help you avoid foreclosure. We understand the urgency of these situations and can move quickly to help.

Do you offer moving assistance?

We know moving can be stressful, so we may be able to help. Contact us to discuss your situation and see what options are available for moving assistance.
