What are the ways to sell an as-is Old Jamestown house?
List with an agent
Ask what preparation the agent recommends and what your listing agreement says about fees and access. A listing can involve getting the house ready, buyer visits, offer discussions, and carrying costs while it is for sale.
Sell it yourself
You handle the marketing, buyer questions, visits, offer discussions, and sale coordination, or choose help for the parts you do not want to manage.
A direct sale gives you another written set of terms to compare. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare our Cash Offer and EZ Sale with listing or selling on your own. Look at the written numbers, who buys the house, timing, costs, and whether partner visits fit your plans.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.

What Old Jamestown details matter when you sell?
Old Jamestown is a Census-designated place in St. Louis County. The Census Bureau’s geography glossary explains this kind of community. The St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds records deeds and other real-estate documents; the County Collector of Revenue handles property-tax bills and account questions. See the Recorder of Deeds and Collector of Revenue.
If a deed or tax bill is part of your sale, call us — we’ll go through it with you.
Which costs should you compare?
Missouri’s Constitution bars state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. County deed-recording fees are separate: state law sets $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. Read Article X, Section 25 of the Missouri Constitution, RSMo §59.310, §59.319, and §59.800.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
