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!

We Buy Houses in Kansas City - On Your Specific Date

We always say that we buy houses in Kansas City and we can pay cash and we can close quickly. Great when it’s quick you want, but we wanted to share Marilyn’s Story. You see she didn’t want to close quickly, far from it. But she did want to get all of her ducks in a row and know that on December 29th, 2014 that she could go to the title company, sign some papers, and get her money and be done.

For her, it was all about being done on that exact date.

You see Marilyn was done with Kansas City. Her family and friends were in another state, a warmer state, and if memory serves a Florida State. She was ready to jump on a plane and go, but she had to wind down her life in Kansas City.

She had a plan and she was sticking to it:

First a New Home All Set

She had already secured her new place to live, she had her move-in date. It was a mostly furnished home, all setup. She just needed to pack her personal belongings and go. She did need some of the money from selling her current home to move in and the rest to live off of.

Second Find a Buyer for Her Kansas City Home

Next, she needed a buyer that would close on December 29th. For her whole plan to work, she needed a certain price and a certain date. And while December 29th was three months away, she wanted a solid buyer lined up.

Third, Figure Out What to Do with Her Stuff

Marilyn planned on heading to the airport and hopping on a plane after closing. And she was busy planning her new life in her new home and didn’t want to deal with all the stuff left in her house. She wanted to use her stuff up until the day she left and then walk out on the morning of closing and not come back. That’s where kcmoHomeBuyer came in, we told her we were fine with whatever she wanted to leave behind. Furniture, food, her aloe vera plant over the fireplace.

She took us at our word. We went to closing and she got her check. We got the keys.

She didn’t leave behind a whole heck of a lot, but there was quite a bit.

First Things We Could Use:

We went through the house to see if there was anything left behind that we could use. The good old aloe vera plant was relocated to Scott’s house. The desk in the upstairs office was relocated to Kim’s office. There were a few other odds and ends we found homes for. It seems when there are plants left behind, they almost always find a good home at one of our houses.

Second, The Estate Sale Company:

We reached out to an estate sale company, there were a few key pieces of furniture they liked, and they paid us a few bucks for all the furniture and moved it out.

If you have a house full of furniture and items, you should always reach out to an estate sale company. Sometimes there is value there to hold a sale in your house. Other times, they will do like they did here and buy key pieces from you to sell in their off-site store. And other times, they just don’t want it. If you have the time, it’s always worth it to reach out and ask. We have assembled a list of key estate sale companies here in the metro as a resource.

Third, Donations

There was also unopened food in the pantry and toiletries in the bath. All were boxed up and donated, along with left-behind clothing and household goods like sheets and towels. We like to donate what we can to help other people out. Often, we will donate the furniture as well if the estate sale companies don’t want it.

We often donate to the nearby thrift store, like Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity REStore, or a local church. We have included a few donation help websites on our estate sale resource.

We have purchased many houses since Marilyn’s over on Campbell in Kansas City back in 2014. We have had other similar situations where the seller had a plan and needed their home sold on a particular date. There was the family that had their RV packed and ready to roll after handing over the keys. And just last week we bought Frances’ house on Friday so she could move into her new assisted living home over the weekend. If you have a particular date in mind and you don’t want to deal with estate sales, donations, clean out, and repairs, fill out the form and tell us about your house below. We can take a look and give you an offer, then you know where you stand and can make your plans.

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.

Fantastic Experience . . .

..Scott was great working me through the entire process. His patience, availability and willingness to answer my questions were greatly appreciated.
