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!

a sold sign in front of the house after a successful sale — A good plan is crucial when it comes to making your dreams come true

We talk a lot here on our blog about being investor buyers . . . direct buyers . . . cash buyers. . . But did you know that all of our team have obtained a real estate agent licenses in Kansas and Missouri? Further, most of the team is also a licensed Realtor.

What’s the Difference between a Licensed Agent and a Licensed Realtor

Licensed Agent

Both an agent and a Realtor go through the same training classes to get our obtain our real estate license. This training helps us understand real estate, sales, buyers, sellers, basic terms and the law. We are then required to pass a test proving we are proficient in the basics and understand the law. We also have to pass a background check. This gets is the same license to practice real estate.

After we have that basic real estate agent license we are now able to go out and practice as an agent. We have the legal right to help others buy houses or sell houses and to earn a commission. We have to complete continuing education in every state where we hold a real estate agent license and we also have to attest to the fact that we have not violated the law.

The Realtor Higher Standard

While all Realtors are agents, not all agents take the extra step to become a Realtor. According to the National Association of Realtors, the owner of the designation: “The term REALTOR® has one, and only one, meaning: REALTOR® is a federally registered collective membership mark which identifies a real estate professional who is member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.”

The Realtor Marketing Platform

Being a Realtor also gives us the ability to participate in the Multiple Listing Services or the MLS. The Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), owned and operated by REALTORS®, is the most powerful real estate marketing system in the country. Housing market information originating from the MLS® has long been recognized as the most reliable and comprehensive data available for those looking to buy or sell a home.

The MLS now shares data with a lot of home-selling platforms like Zillow and gives the Realtor an edge when it comes to helping someone sell a house. Their data is shared across all the other platforms so potential buyers can see it, and gives the home seller the widest exposure to buyers anywhere. So if someone has a traditional house, with a traditional home selling timeline, listing it with a Realtor in the traditional listing model will in most cases generate the highest sales price.

When the Traditional Home Selling Model Does Not Work

Keep in mind not all home sellers fit the traditional home selling model and that’s where we come in as investor buyers.

For the seller that does not have the time to wait and needs to sell quickly.
For the seller that needs one or more major home repairs.
For the seller that has a very full house and no time to clean it out.
For the seller that wants to leave everything.
For the seller does not want a lot of people walking through their house.

For these sellers where the traditional selling model does not work, a professional home buyer, an investor buyer is often a better option.

We have purchased a lot of houses that have everything still in them, most traditional listings will not work in this case. We have purchased houses with a bit of creative financing when the home was worth less that what the open market would have paid for it. Or for cases where the homeowner can earn only so much on the sale of a home and still qualify for benefits, we can also get creative. The traditional real estate agent or Realtor can’t often do that.

When You Want Options for Selling Your House

So when you have a house to sell in Kansas City and you need options, we are one of the best places to start. We can chat with you about options over the phone. We can come to walk through your home and assess the repairs and updates needed. Then we can present you with two to three options:

An all-cash offer, closing quickly for those that are on a deadline or don’t want any more holding costs adding up.

A listing option, where it might take a bit longer but we list it and market it to the largest number of people to get the highest cash price, but this does take a bit longer. We do charge a commission and the title company will charge closing costs.

A creative option, for those folks that want to sell, but can’t get all their equity in a lump sum or perhaps owe more than their home is worth, we can put on our thinking caps and find something that works for you.

When you are ready to sell or just want to learn more about options, give us a call at (816) 408-3600 . We are happy to chat about your situation and give you some guidance. Then if you want to proceed we can schedule an in-home visit for us to learn more so we can give you the 2 or 3 options we have to offer.

Request a FREE, No-Obligation Consultation

You can trust our firm offer will not change before closing, and you won’t be hit by any of those surprise fees. We’ll be there to walk you through each step of the sale.

I’ll be only too happy to refer you to others.

It was great not having to go in and clean up that unholy mess and worry about disposing of everything. I hope you guys make a good sale on the property, I’ll be only too happy to refer you to others.
