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!

Home Repair and upgrades to avoid when getting ready to sell a house.

Have you been planning on making some changes on your home? Maybe replacing the roof or furnace or updating a bathroom. Possibly you need more living space and are going to finish the basement or add on a room addition. Before you start any work, make sure you or your contractors that you hire obtained the needed permits required by law to avoid consequences on down the road, that could be much more complicated than pulling the right permits now.

We have seen homes where the homeowner thought they would live in their home forever and that no one would know if they did the work with out a permit. But because nothing ever stays the same, life happens as they say, you or your heirs may have to sell that home on down the line and it could cause problems.

Selling a House with Unpermitted Work

Name: kcmoHomeBuyer
Address: Parkville, MO, 64152, US
Telephone: (816) 408-3600

While we have had to solve issues with simple unpermitted work, we have not had to deal with major issues. For example, we bought a house from a home owner who had done a lot of updates, but we needed to upgrade the electric meter, that requires a permit and an inspection and when they city inspector came to check it all out, he noted the fairly new furnace and informed us that in Grandview a permit is required and there was none obtained. This was fairly simple for us to solve as the company that had installed had left their name and number on the furance, we were able to call them and they were able to go back after the fact, get a permit, get it inspected and then we were ok, but it did cause us a delay in getting our work completed.

We have also heard of other home buyers who have bought homes and have had to stop work to get permits for completed room additions and once on one of those TV shows, we saw where the entire unpermitted room addition had to be removed because it was not only not permitted, but subsequent inspections proved the work to be unsafe.

Disclosure When Selling a House

If you are not the original owner of your home, there is a chance that you may have unpermitted work hidden from view and not even be aware. When it comes to disclosure, ignorance is not truly bliss. You will still be legally responsible. It pays to have a professional complete your inspection before listing your home yourself or on the Grandview real estate market through a traditional MLS listing with an agent.

When you go to sell your house, depending on your listing agreement or your sales contract, there may be a templated statement, that says that all repairs, updates or any work completed on the home was done with proper permits and inspections. If this is true, it’s simply a check mark on the yes box, if it is not true, then you have to disclose and you may not be able to sell it. Now you have a problem that needs to be fixed.

Now you have to decide how to handle the unpermitted work before placing your home on the market. Should you find yourself wondering how to sell a house with unpermitted work in Grandview, we will cover your options. No matter if you did the job or merely discovered it after buying the home, having an issue with unpermitted work can be quite a blow emotionally and highly costly as you face the realities of disclosure during the selling process. Even if your buyer knows about the unpermitted work before the sale, they could still pursue legal avenues after the fact. Failure to disclose this work could end in your paying legal fees and court costs.

Retroactive Permitting

Some cities will allow a homeowner to seek a retroactive permit when they sell a house with unpermitted work in Grandview , allowing you to take the time to get a permit after the fact and then get the work inspected to make sure it meets local building codes and if safe. This is one of the easiest fixes and the one we used when we found a house we bought had installed a furnace without a permit in Grandview.

Corrective Steps

If the city will not allow this or if the work is sub-par, your next step is to remove the unpermitted work and do the job again with a permit. Permits for work on homes in Grandview under local zoning, construction, and land use laws help ensure the dwelling is safe for habitation and is not causing harm to the environment. Depending on the work’s complexity and the value gained by going through the process, it may be your best option to tackle the issue and take corrective action.

You will need to ensure you will have the funds as well as afford the time to proceed. Account for holding costs during the corrective phase, including the time your home may be on the market once listed. It would be wise to contact architects and contractors for estimates and guidance on the permitting required and the timeline expected to resolve them. To make the best decision about how to go about selling your home, you will need to have a realistic budget. Inspections will be a requirement, so you should familiarize yourself with what it takes to pass the inspection before undertaking any project. If you need to sell a house with unpermitted work in Grandview, your plans will likely need to be approved by the city before you can begin.

Removal

While it can be disheartening and highly costly, you could remove the modification before trying to sell a house with unpermitted work in Grandview. If you discovered the change and are not sure of what electrical, plumbing or support systems are involved, it would be best to call in experts to ensure that the removal will be done correctly and not compromise the structure. Suppose you would prefer to save money by working yourself to return your home to its original state. In that case, it should be limited to minor renovations, such as returning a garage you temporarily repurposed as an extra bedroom back to its original state, depending on what was involved. If in doubt, ask a professional.

Or you could work with our team at kcmoHomeBuyer. We will make you an offer to buy as-is so you don’t need to get any permits or complete any work. And if you find that you do have unpermitted work in Grandview, we can buy the house as-is and make the unpermitted work our problem. We know that your home is the most significant investment of your life. At kcmoHomeBuyer, helping you solve your problems while earning the highest return on your investment is our passion.

At kcmoHomeBuyer, we stop everything and take the time to listen to you. Discuss your unique situation with us, and our professionals at kcmoHomeBuyer will help you compare all of your options with no obligation. Our experienced team at kcmoHomeBuyer is here to help you to make the best decision to sell your Grandview home. To learn more, contact kcmoHomeBuyer at (816) 408-3600 today.
