We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
You don't have to clean up or repair first
Smoke, water, structural damage, and debris can make a regular listing hard to prepare. You don't need to restore the house, arrange a cleanout, or haul debris before asking us to buy it. We review the property as it stands and discuss the damage with you.
Tell us what you know about the damage and whether anyone has limited access. Don't assume cleanup, repair, demolition, or occupancy is allowed until you have checked the instructions for this property.
You keep your insurance proceeds
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
Talk through the damage
Tell us what happened, what parts of the house are affected, and whether access is restricted.
Review written terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The written offer and terms are yours to review before deciding.
Close through a title company
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The title company confirms the closing details for the transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local records and site-safety help
Kansas City, Missouri spans Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties. Use the recorder for the county where the property is located when you need county deed-record information:
- Cass County Recorder of Deeds →
- Clay County Recorder of Deeds →
- Jackson County Recorder of Deeds →
- Platte County Recorder's Office →
For building safety, repairs, debris removal, or permits, contact the fire or building official responsible for the property's exact address and follow any current access restrictions. If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted entry, do not enter it.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
A rebuilding plan means weighing the repair scope, contractor schedule, any permits or site restrictions, and the costs of carrying the property while work is underway. An as-is sale lets you compare written terms without arranging repairs or clearing debris first.
Compare the likely net from each path, not just the estimated sale price. Use the calculator to compare editable assumptions for repairs and selling costs with a written offer. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
