How does selling a house directly to you work?

Tell us about the property and we'll take a look. If the house is a good fit for us, we may make you an offer to consider. If you decide to move forward, the agreed details are put in writing and the transaction can move through a local title company.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

No. You don't have to renovate the house just to reach out to us. We look at houses in many different conditions.

How much will you pay for my house?

Every house is different. We look at things like the property's condition, location, nearby sales, repairs we expect it may need, project costs, and the investment margin needed for the deal.

Are there any fees or commissions?

We're buying the property directly, so we don't charge you an agent commission for representing you. Any other transaction costs or credits will be shown in the purchase agreement and closing documents.

What areas around St. Louis do you buy houses in?

We buy houses throughout St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, Lincoln County, Warren County, and many surrounding communities. Send us the address and we can let you know if it's in an area we currently buy.

What if my house has tenants, code violations, or liens?

You can still reach out. Properties with tenants, municipal issues, liens, or other complications may just need some additional review before we know if the house is a fit for us.

Do I have to accept your offer?

No. If we make you an offer, it's yours to consider. You're not required to accept it just because you asked us to look at the property.

How is this different from listing with a realtor?

We're looking at the property as a buyer for our own investment purposes. A real estate agent representing a seller generally markets the house to other buyers. Which option makes more sense depends on the property and what matters most to you.

How do you come up with your offer?

We look at the house, its location and condition, nearby sales, repairs and improvements we expect it may need, project costs, and the investment margin needed for the deal. An investor offer may be lower than what a house could potentially sell for on the traditional market.

How do I get started?

Submit information about your property through the Website or contact us. Submission does not obligate you to sell or obligate us to purchase.

What should I look for when comparing home buyers?

Compare the actual offer, contract terms, contingencies, closing details, who you're doing business with, and your other selling options. You can also talk with an attorney, appraiser, or real estate professional before signing anything.

Can I sell my house before my Missouri divorce is final?

Yes, but you will typically need agreement from both parties or a court order depending on how the property is titled. We regularly work with divorcing couples and their attorneys to facilitate a smooth, neutral sale before or during the divorce proceedings.

Do I need to clean out my parents' house before selling?

No. When you sell to us, you can take the items you want and leave the rest behind. We will handle the donation, recycling, and disposal of all remaining contents at no extra cost to you.

How fast can you close if I am relocating for a job?

We can close in as little as 7 days, or we can schedule the closing to align perfectly with your relocation timeline. We can also arrange for a remote closing if you have already moved out of state.
