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!

Many factors influence the decision on the method you will use to sell your home. First, you need to consider your position financially and any circumstances that may be forcing you to worry about the time it takes to sell your home and how the method you select could affect the ability to move forward with your plans.

Considering Selling Your House For Sale by Owner

Quite often, sellers base their decision to list their home independently on saving the exorbitant real estate commission from depleting the profits from the sale of your home; however, there is much more you must take into account. Therefore, we have the following advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property.

Your Role

Our first piece of advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property is to understand the role of a real estate agent in selling a home. After all, you will be doing their job to earn the commission you are keeping for yourself. Your role is to find a ready and able buyer as quickly as possible using the tools of the trade to market the property to the best of your ability.

While you can do a lot of things the real estate agent can: take photos, make a flyer, let people in the house, negotiate with sellers, ect. They have a few tools at their disposal that you do not. A contract, written by attorneys that cover every possible issue that could come up so that no one gets sued. And the biggest tool they have is the Multiple Listing Service. When they put a property in this online tool it gets loaded up onto almost all online listing sites, which puts it in front of thousands of buyers instantly. In theory, you could manually go find all of these sites and list your home, but they are set up to favor the Realtor Listing. So if you don’t mind getting the home ready to sell, you don’t mind a lot of people walking through your house and poking in your closets, and you don’t mind the worry over inspections, appraisals, loan approvals, and the possibility of a buyer backing out and a having to find a new buyer, listing your home with a Realtor, will quite often net you the most money, even after commissions.

We are licensed Realtors and would be happy to give you an estimate of what you would net on the sale of your home and how long it would take. (We are licensed in KS & MO through our brokerage Realty Resource: 816.406.0701)

Realistic Assessment

The next bit of advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property is to take a realistic assessment of the property. Setting the price at the wrong number can hurt your chances of selling, too high or too low; both have consequences that will cost you both time and money. While it is difficult, you must remove your emotional feelings about your home and put them aside to play the role of real estate agent and avoid feeling insulted when what you may feel are lowball offers. Remaining calm and in control of emotions allows you to handle the negotiations of selling a home without any outbursts that could immediately end the deal. You should have an inspection done to understand the actual expenses of any repairs, so buyers can’t subtract ridiculous amounts for credit off of the asking price in the negotiations.

Highlight Selling Points

Beyond the size of the house and the number of rooms or whether or not you have a garage are many other influential features that add value to properties. While experienced real estate agents can quickly assess the selling points, one more piece of advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property is to think about what makes the home special. For example, what attracted you to the location and what was important about the home, precisely when you were the buyer? Do family and friends often make comments regarding what they love about your property? If you don’t highlight these aspects of the home in the searchable features on the listing, your marketing may miss the mark. And while these may be the same features, they seek potential buyers who will continue scrolling.

Marketing and Showings

When it comes to the actual marketing and showing of the property, our advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property is to make your home look its best and make it available for showings. Hire pros for your photos, or you won’t compete online. Use the theory of staging, making the home as presentable as possible. When you freshen up your paint, you’ll want to use neutral tones; while there should be one colorful focal point, you want a blank canvas so buyers can more easily imagine themselves as the new owners of your home. Remove large furniture that may make rooms appear smaller and any personal items, including team memorabilia, family photos, awards, trophies, and the like. Consider storage for most of your belongings. As for showings, when the phone rings, answer it and make showings your top priority in life. No matter what time it is or how short the notice is, you should have your home ready at all times.

kcmoHomeBuyer

Our final advice for homeowners considering an FSBO listing for their Olathe property is to take a moment to review the benefits of working with kcmoHomeBuyer instead. With the numbers all laid out, you can rely on full disclosure on the assessment from kcmoHomeBuyer. As agents we are a bit different than the average agent in that we will gladly help you list your home “as-is”. We can provide you with what we think it will sell for, how long it will take, and what our commission and other fees will be. We can also give you some options for staging, repairs, and updates that might make it sell for more. As home buyers, we can give you a cash offer closing on your timeline, that has you doing nothing but taking what you want and handing us the keys. You can compare what you would earn by listing with us, doing a bit of work and listing with us vs. our fair cash offer selling your home as-is. Then you can decide which plan better suits your needs. With our cash offer, your closing could be in as little as a week or delayed if you’re not quite ready, kcmoHomeBuyer has the flexibility to work on your schedule. With our full-service team, you can pack what you like and leave the rest behind, and our crew at kcmoHomeBuyer even clean up the mess from moving. With our “as-is” listing, if you have a little time, we could generate a bit more money, but it does come with a bit of uncertainty as most buyers will have inspections, appraisals, and loan approvals that can often derail a sale and we have to start over.

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.
