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!

Selling Your House With a Kansas City Real Estate Agent

When most people consider selling their homes, the first thing that comes to mind is typically calling a real estate agent. Next, thoughts usually turn to how much the listing process with an agent costs, and then they consider all of the work that lies ahead on the road to selling.

We are real estate agents ourselves and currently facing selling two houses within our family in the coming months. We are weighing our options of listing it and going through the whole real estate agent sale that comes with all the work of getting it ready vs selling it off-market or for sale by owner which would not require we “get it ready.” While both houses are in great condition, they are a mess with boxes and stuff and do need some minor repairs. What we are seeing is that the higher value we think we would get when listing it is more than offset by all the work needed to get it ready and the cost of paying the Realtors involved.

We thought our readers might be facing some similar issues. So today, we explore four things you may not know about selling your home with a Kansas City real estate agent.

Costly

You may not know that the commissions can be expensive when you are selling your house with a Kansas City real estate agent. With an average home price of $375,000, six percent in commissions comes to a total of $22,500. When you add this to the other expenses involved with listing, including the prep work, marketing, and professional photography, along with potential broker fees, it can take a big chunk of your profits from the sale. On the other hand, you can avoid paying commissions with a direct sale to a professional investor like those at kcmoHomeBuyer. There are no hidden fees to worry about coming off the top at closing; at kcmoHomeBuyer, our offer, which you will agree is fair, is the amount you will receive at closing in cash.

Because we are agents, we only have to look at paying half a commission as we are not going to pay ourselves. But we still need to spend money on all the little repairs and we do a pretty good job of creating our own marketing materials and photos. But all the costs we have are a HUGE chunk of changes.

Time-Consuming

The amount of time that could potentially pass while your home is on the market is another thing you may not know about selling your house with a Kansas City real estate agent. Regrettably, this information is not something the agent can provide you with, nor can they promise your home will sell. However, an agent can give you a general estimate of the number of days homes are sitting on the market before selling. If this leaves you feeling less than comfortable, making a direct sale means you will have a guaranteed closing date. Professional investors like those at kcmoHomeBuyer are more than happy to work with you, setting the closing date at your convenience for your moving plans.

This is what we are really looking at. The time it takes to go through ALL THE STUFF, we’ve had 3-4 people working several days a week at one house and all we have done is made a mess, its going to take several more weekends and a couple of garage sales and then a big, giant donation. Then we can get busy and CLEAN the house, all that time spent, our time, on top of our day jobs and we really don’t have time.

And the longer the house sits vacant, well then a new cost appears – insurance. The homeowners insurance only covers it for 30 days after moving out and then we need to switch to a much more expensive vacant policy, not bad if it’s only 30 days, but if it’s longer, it will add up.

That’s on one house. But the other one is lived it, it is also the office where people live and work. So if we list it, then we need to keep the house clean and the office clean and we probably need to leave during daylight hours so people can walk through the house. Not very workable.

Not the Only Solution

Something else you may not know about selling your house with a Kansas City real estate agent is that other options can help you sell your home. For example, maybe the thought of vacating the premises repeatedly for showings during your dinner is not for you. Or, perhaps you have a mountain of repairs that need completion before listing, and you would rather not endure living in a construction zone or paying to repair and update a home you are leaving behind. Another solution to sell your home is through a direct sale for your house as-is. When you work with a direct buyer like those at kcmoHomeBuyer, you will receive all of the details on how much you could sell for on the traditional MLS with an agent vs. how we reached the offer for your home as-is which you will agree is fair.

HELPED ME THROUGH THE PROCESS

Words cannot express how Kim’s hard work has affected my family. After a death in my family, I was left with a home out of state that had been abandoned and no banks would even claim the loan! Kim helped me figure out how to determine ownership, what to do about the taxes, and how to clear up the loan status so the property could be sold. She helped me through the process every step of the way, despite my frazzled mindset after losing a loved one. There is no one better, she’s simply the best!
