Can I sell my Lebanon house without fixing it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is in Lebanon and Laclede County. You can compare our written terms with a listing or sale-by-owner plan before deciding.
What market context can help with the comparison?
Zillow’s typical home value is $232,896 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Lebanon, MO). This is market context, not a price or offer for a particular house.
What are the practical ways to sell an as-is Lebanon house?
List with an agent
Ask whether listing the house in its current condition fits your plans. Compare repairs or cleanout you choose, preparation and showing access, the charges in your listing agreement, and the bills you may carry while it is for sale.
Sell it yourself
You arrange marketing, buyer questions, property access, price discussions, and sale coordination, or choose professional support for the parts you do not want to manage. Include the time and any support you choose in your comparison.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
Which Lebanon offices handle property questions?
Lebanon Code Administration handles City building permits, property inspections, building-code enforcement, zoning, and land division. If you have a City notice or paperwork about work on the house, call us and we will look at it with you. Read the City’s Code Administration page and its Fight the Blight page for information about dangerous and unsafe structures.
Laclede County also has separate offices for property values and tax collection. The County Assessor handles valuation; the County Collector handles current and delinquent tax collection and provides delinquent-tax-sale information.
Which costs and complications should you compare?
An agent can market the house and manage the sale. The listing agreement lays out the agent’s commission and any other charges, and you can discuss the house’s current condition and showing plans. If you sell it yourself, you handle marketing, buyer questions, access, and coordination—or choose professional help for the parts you want to hand off.
Missouri’s Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Recording fees are separate: state law sets a deed fee of $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional can confirm the exact recording charges. Read Missouri Constitution Article X, Section 25, RSMo §59.310, §59.319, and RSMo §59.800.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Pick your condition — light touch-ups through fire damage — and see what you'd actually walk away with. Change any number in it.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
