Questions About Selling a House in Kansas City, KS

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You don't fix anything — not one thing.

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.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.

What you keep is the sale proceeds after costs and payoff items tied to your property. The actual number can include a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other sale costs. Compare the written numbers and property-specific payoffs rather than relying on the headline price.

No. Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. The state mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the total depends on the documents recorded. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

No. You can call before every detail is organized. Start with the property address and the question in front of you. A deed, payoff information, lease, estate paper, or notice can help when it applies. You get written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.

Yes. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease stays in place and the buyer becomes the landlord; the sale alone does not require the tenant to move. Lease, access, notice, and deposit questions are separate, so include the lease and occupancy details in the written sale discussion.

A sale may still be possible if the payoff or redemption amount can be paid in time. Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff's sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale. Afterward, the owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. The court gives 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the property's market value. The court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption. The owner can generally stay in the home meanwhile. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
