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!

Property Wholesalers vs. Kansas City Real Estate Agents

We got a call yesterday from Kevin Hardy with the Kansas City Star. It seems the reporter was digging into the rift that has been brewing across the country between wholesalers and real estate agents. Because we are both and because we are leaders in the local real estate investor community, owning and managing a major trade association, he wanted to get our input. Let’s see if I can shed some light on the differences.

A wholesaler offers homeowners an option when they are trying to sell a property; typically, the house is in a state of severe disrepair and often sellers don’t want to or can’t make the repairs that the average real estate agent would suggest. And while a seller can list a fixer-upper with a real estate agent to sell, many don’t like to take on less-than-perfect houses. Wholesalers on the other hand love these less-than-perfect homes because they have buyers looking for fixer-uppers.

Just What is a Wholesaler?

While most people know that a Realtor is a person who will list a home for sale in the super exclusive multiple listing service to help you find a buyer. They do all the paperwork and supervise all the tasks and people involved. And once the home is sold, they get paid a commission.

A Wholesaler on the other hand is a person who is buying your house with the sole purpose of selling it for a profit. Some wholesale transactions will see a wholesaler who actually does buy your house and then market it and sell it for a profit. Others will get your home under contract and then market that contract to their list of buyers looking for a fixer-upper. One of those buyers will pay the wholesaler an “assignment fee” to buy that contract – the wholesaler’s profit – and then that end buyer will buy your house.

Realtors contend that this wholesaler is acting as an agent without a real estate license and without all the training and oversight that the Realtor has. If the wholesaler is doing things correctly, this is not really the case. If they are not doing things correctly, and when they don’t do what they promised, that’s when everyone gets upset.

So, to help educate our sellers, we wanted to share the three fundamental differences between property wholesalers and Kansas City real estate agents.

Guarantees

An agent has no guarantees to offer, not even about when or even if your property will sell. While they can and do make an educated guess, they have no way of saying that on such and such a date your house will be sold and you will get your money. What an agent can do is market the home and get it under contract, and then you are subject to inspections, repair requests, appraisals, and loan approvals on the part of the buyer. In fact, they can’t even guarantee once you have a contract that the buyer will not back out and leave you high and dry.

Of course, if your Wholesale buyer is not experienced and does not know what they are doing, they probably can’t give you any guarantees either. If they are new to the business, don’t know what they are doing, and offer too much for your property, you may find that they can’t find that end buyer we told you about and they too might back out at the last minute.

So, what can you do if you need your house sold on a particular date so you can get your money and move on? We suggest a professional cash home buyer. This type of buyer may be buying your house to wholesale, they might be buying to fix it up and sell it or rent it out. What makes them different is that they will actually come to walk through your house, assess the needed repairs, and calculate a fair cash offer based on area comparable sales. This will be an offer that they know they can stand behind.

Here at kcmoHomeBuyer, the Tuckers are primarily buying your house to fix it up. We’ve been doing this for a few years and we know houses, repairs, the market, and buyers. We can make you a guaranteed offer and if we can’t, because some houses just don’t fit our buy box, we can offer you alternatives

Savings

Wholesalers not only save you time with their fast closings, but they can also save you a significant amount of money because they don’t work on commission; one of the main differences between property wholesalers and Kansas City real estate agents.

When we buy your house for cash here at kcmoHomeBuyer, we don’t charge you any commission. We can however put on our Real Estate Agent hats and tell you what we think we could sell it for should we list it and what your commission and fees would be. Then you can compare the two and see if you want the guaranteed price on a specific date or an estimated price on an estimated date.

We highly recommend getting both the cash offer and a listing price and timeline estimate from a real estate agent, then you can decide which is better and if you should spend time and money on the listing or save time and the commission on our cash offer.

Also keep in mind that savings not only applies to the realtor commission, if you sell quickly, you also realize additional savings because you won’t be left to continue to pay the monthly bills while holding onto the property for months, waiting for a buyer.

Expenses

Real estate agents understand that your must appeal to buyers; therefore, they set about advising you on the steps to take, which all come out of your pocket. Unfortunately, all those agent recommendations can be expensive, prepping the property for showings and professional photography for marketing before the home is ready to list. Add to this the costs of listing, passing inspections, and closing costs. But, on the other hand, it will not cost you a thing upfront to sell your home to a Kansas City property wholesaler, like those at kcmoHomeBuyer who require none of the above.

There are critical differences between property wholesalers like kcmoHomeBuyer and Kansas City real estate agents, which can greatly benefit homeowners in situations that do not fit the typical mold for a conventional listing with a real estate agent. We recommend if you are trying to decide which is for you that you get an offer from a local, experienced, professional wholesaler and also have a Realtor give you an estimate of price, costs, and times. Then you can compare . . . here at kcmoHomeBuyer, we can give you both.

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.

Thank you, Scott, that house has been a stone around my neck for the past ten months. I’m so glad that your mom friended me on FB and got things rolling, I’ve had a lot of deaths in my family in the past seventeen months,(my father, my estranged husband, and my only sibling–my brother. I have been swamped trying to deal with it all simultaneously. You guys took me by the hand and drug me through what needed to be done, and I appreciate that.
