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!

Companies that Buy Houses in KC

Some things to look for when seeking companies that buy houses in Kansas City.

Are you considering selling your home and looking at not only Realtors who might list your home for sale but considering companies that buy houses in Kansas City as well?

We have written quite a few blogs on the various options for selling a home from listing with a real estate agent to selling to a company that buys houses in Kansas City. Picking between the various options is a blog post for another day. But if you have decided you want to move quickly and you want to work with one of the many companies that buy houses here in Kansas City, we have five tips to help you pick the right one.

Is the Home Buyer Responsive

When you first reach out to them, do they get back to you in a timely manner? We get it, everyone is super busy, and professional home buyers are no different. They have multiple leads coming in every day and may not be an instant “Johnny on the spot” in getting back to you. But there are a few industry standards or at least the standards we try to follow here at kcmoHomeBuyer.

If you call it and get a voicemail, someone should call you back within 15 minutes between 9 am and 5 pm.
If you submit information online, you should get an instant reply that your information has been received. Someone should call you back within the hour between 9 am and 5 pm.
And if you reach out during non-business hours or on Sunday, someone should reach out to you between 9 am and 11:30 am the next day, if not sooner.

If the person you reach out to is not responsive when you first make contact, how responsive are they going to be if you have questions or need help during the closing process?

Is the Home Buyer Pushy

You know the type, they know everything. They don’t have time to explain anything. And when it comes time to make you an offer . . . here it is, and if you don’t sign it within the next hour, they will go buy something else. Ya Right!

So when you talk to them on the phone, make sure they take the time to LISTEN to you. Are they willing to listen to your concerns and answer your questions? When they come to look at your house, will they give you a written offer and then give you time to have a trusted friend or advisor look it over? If the home buyer you call is super pushy, doesn’t listen, and will not answer questions, it’s time to move on to the next company.

How Long as the Home Buyer Been in Business

Yes, we know everyone has to start somewhere. And some of the brand new home buyers out there are great, but . . . . so many of the brand new home buyers out there, saw a video on the internet, bought a list of people in distress, and started cold calling them to see who might take the bait. You could be their very first deal, which could be fine and then again it could go very wrong.

We would highly recommend finding out how long that home buyer has been in business. A good year of reviews on Google or Facebook would be great. More would be better.

What is the Home Buyer’s Intent?

Some professional home buyers want to get your house under contract and buy it with cash in a few days. Others might want to offer you payments over time. Yet others might want to get your home under contract and then market that contract to an end buyer. All are valid business models and they all work. But you want to know upfront what they plan because the person who is actually buying your house, will probably do so. The one that wants to market the contract, well they might change their minds, they might want to change their price, they could back out.

So ask them their intent and ask to see it in the contract. Ask them what happens if things don’t work quite the way they planned.

Perform Some Online Due Diligence on the Home Buyer

We are in the internet age, if people do a good job you might be able to find that information online. If people do a bad job, you can be sure someone talked about it online somewhere and you can probably find it.

So where do you look when you want to check out all those companies that buy houses in Kansas City? And if you can’t find anything from the next 3 steps, you have to wonder how long they have been in business. If you find bad things, then you need to ask your potential home buyer more questions.

Start with Google

Start with Google and search for (1) the Company Name (2) the person’s name (3) the phone number they share with you. See if you can find a business listing with reviews, there should be a few good ones and maybe even a few bad ones. There should be more good ones than bad ones and on the bad ones, see how they responded.

Then go to Facebook

Most legitimate home buyers will have a Facebook Page either as their company or in their own personal name. You can learn a lot from what they post as a person and you can quite often find reviews on their business page.

The Better Business Bureau

Now a majority of home buyers may not pay to be on the BBB page. Here at kcmoHomeBuyer, we don’t pay that fee so we can’t say that we are Accredited with the BBB. We can’t use their logo. But you can see what they report, that we have been in business for 17 years. And we have zero complaints. Generally, if a business has bad business practices, people will make complaints to the BBB and it will show up on their page.

We didn’t have to finish cleaning out the house, we didn’t have to make any repairs, and no more going to mow the yard.

We got a letter from Kim about Dad’s house a few months ago after one of our garage sales. Her son Scott called us back, asked a few questions, looked at our house, and made an offer. My brothers had been trying to fix it up to sell for almost a year . . . that was not going well. We took Scott’s offer, he made the process very easy and convenient, we could even sign things via email. We didn’t have to finish cleaning out the house, we didn’t have to make any repairs, and no more going to mow the yard.

I highly recommend giving Kim or Scott a call, you will be glad you did.
