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!

Paperwork You’ll Need To Sell Your House In Kansas City

The stack of paperwork you’ll encounter when selling your house in Kansas City is a big one. There are papers you’ll need before listing, documents for listing, documents when an offer is made, and documents for the closing. While it might seem like a lot, don’t fret! Handling one piece of paper at a time will make things easy for you. Get your ducks in a row to sell your house in Kansas City!

Selling your house in Kansas City will require a lot of paperwork, but you don’t have to feel overwhelmed. In this post, we will review some of the paperwork required to sell your house in Kansas City. Keep in mind that there are different requirements depending on where the house is located, so you’ll want to confirm everything with an agent or lawyer or a local title company before you begin the selling process.

Documents For Listing

Comparative Market Analysis Report

Before listing your house, you’ll want to obtain a CMA for your property from a local real estate agent. The CMA will provide you with information on recent area sales so you can determine what you should be asking for your house. You can often obtain these at no cost from a local Real Estate Agent who would put one together in hopes of getting the Listing on your house.

Even if you decide not to list, you will then have great information to help you figure out what your property is worth.

Listing Contract

Your listing contract will give your agent the exclusive right to sell your house in Kansas City. Before agreeing to a listing, make sure you understand what is included and what isn’t.

In addition to these documents, some states have special items they require while the property is listed. Make sure you have everything required so you aren’t subject to any costs or fees!

Disclosures

Any defect or problem with the house will need to be disclosed to your potential buyers. You’ll need to provide this information on a disclosure statement. This is the law and can be considered fraud if known items aren’t disclosed.

Note by law you don’t have to fill out a disclosure form, although if you list with an agent they will want you to fill one out. But by law you must disclose anything about the property that you know. So you can’t omit things like termites, broken sewer lines, or other items that you may know about.

Receipts and Repair History

Your buyers are going to know what was done and when. They’ll want to know who was used, what services were performed, who did the work, and what sort of guarantees are offered. It’s a good idea to keep a folder of all of your home repair documentation so everything is in one spot and easily accessible.

Preliminary Title Report

A preliminary title report will show your potential buyers that the house is owned by you, that you are up to date on your taxes, and that there are no liens against the property that can impede the sale process. And it’s always a good idea in 2020, to reach out to a title company for a preliminary title as sometimes there are items recorded against your home that you don’t know about and if for example you are helping a loved one sell their home or you are selling an inherited home, there just might be things your loved one did not share with you.

Warranty Information

Your buyers will want to know about the home warranty as well as the warranty of any appliances that are included in the home sale. One great thing we have seen owners do over time is to have a file drawer or a 3-ring binder where they keep all the paperwork, warranties, and repair receipts.

Paperwork After An Offer

Purchase Offer

A purchase offer lays out the initial terms and framework of the deal. It expresses your buyer’s intent to buy. It is not the final contract as the terms of the purchase agreement may change as more is discovered about the property. Be sure to read it carefully and ask questions and if needed, seek competent advise from an attorney.

Appraisal

If your buyer is working with a lender to purchase your home, an appraisal will be required. If the house appraises for less than what is being offered, you may find yourself in negotiations with your buyer and their bank, or the sale may end up falling through completely. (With a direct sale to kcmoHomeBuyer, you won’t have to worry about an appraisal or the deal falling through.)

Inspection Report

The inspection report will show if there are and structural problems, infestations, or issues with the property that need to be dealt with. If there are problems with the house that weren’t mentioned in the disclosures, your buyer will negotiate on price or ask you to repair before the sale is finalized.

Purchase Agreement

The purchase agreement is the final contract to buy the home. It lays out all of the details of the transaction and protects all parties involved. It will clearly lay out what is being paid, what is owed, and the timeline for the selling process.

Deed

The deed is the final document in the home sale. It legally transfers ownership from one person to another. The deed will need to be filed and recorded as quickly as possible.

Great experience. I was selling my father’s house. Very glad he sent a letter. The house was dirty, it was stinky, it was packed with junk. I just didn’t want to deal with it. If you want a hassle free sale, give Scott and kcmoHomeBuyer a call.
