We are the Tuckers – Kim and Don. We started kcmoHomeBuyer over 20 years ago and along the way, we were joined by our Son Scott. Plus we have a great team that we work with including our title company, our contractors, and a bunch of people that help us along the way.rnrnOur “About Us” page on our website will give you a much closer look at who we are and what we are about. Take a second to visit that page now so you can make our acquaintance. We have been in business for over 20 years, we are honest, and we think fairly nice people.

We Pay Cash For Houses in Kansas City and surrounding areas. The simple answer is that we buy in most locations and in any condition. We offer an alternative to the hassles of the traditional real estate agent listing. We offer options for those with less than perfect houses, those that are working on condensed timelines, or people who just want to avoid all the things that come with a traditional listing including the expenses of the commission and the hassle of people, inspections, and repairs.rnrnAnd because we are also licensed agents we can offer you more options than the average cash home buyer or even the average real estate agent.

Is A “We Buy Houses” Company Right For Me?

We are not desperate to sell our home in Kansas City, nor are we in a hurry! rnrnWhile we certainly do save time, we have found that the majority of sellers we have purchased houses in Kansas City from were not desperate to sell (at all). They were not trying to save themselves from foreclosure. Most of our sellers went with us simply because they just don’t want to deal with repairs, constant walk-throughs, or any hassle one experiences selling a house the traditional way. Some had already tried to work with a real estate agent and it didn’t work out.rnrnWe offer a great option to consider when you want to sell quickly or with ease because we buy houses in any condition, as-is, and we have the knowledge and the team to work through just about any circumstance. It doesn’t cost you anything for us to take a look and see how much we can offer for your home in KC. We can tell you if listing your house in the traditional manner would be a better choice. We offer all your options, completely free, without any obligation. You have everything to gain.

Will Cash Home Buyers List My House On The MLS?

Our intent is to buy your house in cash, rehab it (if there is any work that needs to be done), and sell it again at a profit. We have many solutions to buying your house, including seller financing, wholesaling, and of course buying it for cash. All this ensures you will get your house sold fast!rnrnBut because we are also licensed agents, and we have several vetted agent friends, we can offer you the MLS listing option when it better fits your needs. Sometimes that option will be with Scott our in-house agent and sometimes we will connect you with one of our very experienced top real estate agents.

How are you different from a real estate agent?

he average real estate agent will not actually buy your house. Agents will list and market your house on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), in hopes a buyer will be interested. Agents charge commissions and fees. Listing your house in Kansas City with an agent means you pay closing costs, and title fees, and have to tolerate countless walkthroughs while the house is on the market which can sometimes be a long time.rnrnWe are just a small family team with the cash and connections to other cash buyers interested in buying houses to rehab them and put them back on the market for sale for a profit. We are cash buyers and investors. We are the ones actually buying your house. When we buy your house, you skip the entire hassle of the “agent” process and jump immediately to the offer and closing on the property you have for sale in Kansas City. When we buy your house, we cover the conventional expenses associated with selling a house like closing costs and inspections. And the most notable difference is that we do not charge you any fees or commissions when we buy your house. As mentioned, we skip the entire “agent” process.rnrnBut, if you find an agent and the whole listing process would be a better fit, even after the work, time, closing costs, and commissions, we are here to help.

How Does It All Work, How Can You Help?

Simply tell us a little bit about your house. We will use this information to complete a market analysis of your house that along with our notes from our walk-through, will be used to present you with an all cash offer. After you accept that offer, we take care of the rest of the short process, and you receive your money at closing.

What are My Obligations After I Talk to You?

There are no obligations, at all.rnrnWe understand that you have options. We know there are people out there eager to scam you, and eager to take advantage of you and your situation. To distinguish ourselves from those, we make sure you know there is no pressure, no obligation.rnrnYou truly and absolutely have nothing to lose. We make you an offer and if you accept the offer, great! You will get your cash quickly. If you do not accept the offer we will do our best to guide you in the right direction.

Do I Need To Clean My House Before I Move Out?

Not only do you not need to clean your house before you move out, but you also don’t even need to straighten it up before we come to look at it. Don’t worry about anything. We’ve seen way worse.rnrnJust take whatever it is you want to take and leave the rest. Food in the fridge, been there. Clothes on the floor, done that. Assorted furniture, the charities we donate to love furniture. Heck, we’ve cleaned out all sorts of things, including a frozen turkey and even a 65 Mustang. Believe me when we say, we have seen it all. So why not make things easier and just take what you don’t want to part with and let us deal with the rest? If we find anything we think you didn’t mean to leave behind, we’ll reach out and let you know.

What if I Need Help With Some of the Stuff?

We work with a lot of home buyers who are either downsizing their homes, moving into assisted living, or selling a home they have inherited. They have a few things they want to take but for the most part, they have a house full of stuff that needs to be sold, donated, or just plain thrown away. We can take care of it all, although we have had a few sellers who have inherited and needed to go through EVERYTHING first because they kept finding money, information on unknown accounts, and other valuables that their mother had tucked away in every drawer, pocket, and shoe.rnrnRest assured if we do find Grandma’s long-lost diamond ring, we will give you a call.

What Does It Cost, Do You Have Any Fees or Commissions?

There is no money out of your pocket. All fees are paid by us (we get it back when we sell the rehabbed house to another buyer).

Do You Really Pay A Fair Price for Properties?

Yes, we do pay fair prices. But please keep in mind that there is a difference between a fair price and market value. If the house needs a lot of work, we take the market value of the house and subtract all the costs of repairs needed. This adds up to our fair price. In some special cases, we can present highly competitive offers at market value. However, in those cases, we can’t pay all cash. Instead, we might ask for seller financing or we might take over your current mortgage.

My House is In Terrible Condition, Will You Still Buy It?

We buy homes in Kansas City in any condition good or bad. We primarily buy to fix them up, so the more room for improvement, the more attractive your house is to us. So, Yes, absolutely! We’d love to buy your house even if it is in bad shape, and you may be surprised by how much we will offer for your house! Just fill in our form and see how much we will offer you in cash for your house in KC!rnrnNote when we say We Buy Houses in Kansas City or in KC, we mean the entire Kansas City Metro area.

How Many Houses Do You Buy? What do You Do with Them?

We get this question – all – the – time!!rnrnWe buy a lot of houses. Our goal is to buy, renovate, and resell about 5 to 10 houses a year. Some years we do less and other years we buy way more. And what do we do with them? Simple. We buy them, rehab them and sell them again at a profit. Our home renovations bring new life to neighborhoods. Good for the people, good for the economy, good for everyone!

Disadvantage Of Selling To An Investor In Raytown

If you’re thinking about selling your house, you might be weighing your options about how to sell. Keep reading to learn the key disadvantage of selling to an investor over a traditional buyer in Raytown…

Cash for My Raytown House — Raytown Rehabbed House

Disadvantage Of Selling To An Investor Over A Traditional Buyer, no license or training required . . . .

You have a lot of options when it comes to selling. You might sell through an agent to a traditional buyer, or you might consider selling your house directly to a real estate investor.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both. But if you’re thinking of selling to an investor, here’s the one key disadvantage of selling to an investor over a traditional buyer in Raytown that you should be aware of:

When you sell through an agent, the agent usually has to pass an exam and get certified in order to be an agent. And they have to usually pay money to different organizations (such as a brokerage and/or a licensing board – it varies from one state to the next).

On the other hand, anyone can be an investor without any formal training or certifications. Someone can just say they’re an investor and they’re an investor… without any additional training. This can be a disadvantage to house sellers like you who might be looking for help in your situation but you end up working with an investor who has no experience.

Fortunately, there ARE investors out there who have the skills, knowledge, and experience to help you in your situation, no matter how complicated it is.

Here’s What to Watch Out For when Working with an Investor

Website – About Page: Start by looking for the investor’s website. Do they have one? What information is on there? Are they helpful? Do they give you lots of information? Do they have testimonials or case studies that demonstrate their experience? One of the biggest red flags I know is a website that has no mention of who you are working with. It’s just a generic website that the investor purchased, turned on, and didn’t take any time to personalize.

Website – Blog Page: Another red flag when looking at the website is the blog or articles page. Have they posted anything in the past month or even in the past year? Do they have any posts that show they have any knowledge about buying and selling?

Phone – Full Voice Mail: The next thing you want to watch out for is their phone calls. Nothing says inexperienced more than a call going to a voice mailbox that is full. Yes, we try to answer all of our calls, but sometimes we are out and about and can’t get to the phone. However, our mailbox always has room, all calls are forwarded to us via text and email and we return calls as soon as possible and appropriate.

Phone – Return Calls: Next, if you are lucky to talk to them without leaving a message, that is great. However, if you do leave a message, do they call you back promptly? A good rule of thumb is to get a call back within an hour Monday through Friday during business hours. If you call during the week after hours, expect a call the next morning. If you call on the weekend, expect some kind of return message within an hour or two and a call back on Monday morning at the latest. We do try on weekends to get back to you in some way within an hour, although on a Holiday weekend because we are a small family team, we are all sometimes out of town and unavailable till Monday.

Knowledge: As you talk to the Investor buyer on the phone do they sound like they know what they are doing? Are they respectful of your time? Do they ask good questions and provide good answers to your questions? Are they willing to offer you options? When you give us a call, we will ask you questions about your property and your situation. We will be working to figure out the best solution for you and your situation, and if that solution is working with us, we will then take it to the next step – visiting your house.

House Visit: If you have an investor who will make you an all-cash offer, without seeing your house, RUN . . . RUN REAL FAST! Because once they get it under contract, you are stuck, you can’t sell to anyone else and your investor buyer who buys sight unseen is either paying you way too little for your home or will back out of the contract when they can’t find the money or another buyer to sell it to. We may talk numbers with you over the phone, but we never make our final written offer without first coming out to see your house to make sure we are in the right price range.

Then, call their office and talk to them. Are they respectful of your time? Do they sound like they know what they’re talking about? Are they helpful? Ask them about their process and how they work with you. They shouldn’t be pushy and should offer no-obligation offers to you.

You can learn a lot about an investor with just these two steps. While anyone can be an investor, there are many great real estate investors out there who have your best interests at heart and who will work hard to help you.

Consider our company, for example, you are welcome to click around our site and learn more about us. We are an open book and always happy to help. Feel free to get in touch with us to ask our team questions before you decide.

NOT PENALIZED FOR NOT GETTING EVERYTHING CLEANED OUT OF THE HOUSE

I liked the fact that I wasn’t penalized or felt pressure for not getting everything cleaned out of the house. There was over 40 years and three families’ worth of treasure stored in the house, making me feel that the challenge of cleaning it was going to be impossible. I did what I could and you never hesitated in telling me that it’s ok to leave the rest behind.
