Skip the repair and showing back-and-forth
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A direct as-is sale lets you ask about the house without first hiring contractors, finishing repairs, or preparing for repeated public showings. You can discuss the property as it stands instead of coordinating a repair-and-listing plan together.
Who can sign depends on the deed and the case documents
Start with the recorded deed and any divorce agreement or court order that says something about the house. Being married, separated, or divorced by itself does not tell you which signatures the closing needs.
The title company checks the ownership record and the documents for this sale, then confirms who needs to sign. A Kansas family-law attorney can explain what a court order means for your situation. You can start talking with us while those details are being checked.
Bring us the problem
Different schedules, a disagreement about repairs, or a house that is hard to show? Call before every detail is settled. Tell us what is happening and we can talk through the property and the practical next steps.

What happens next
You can start with the property address, its condition, who lives there, and what is making the sale hard. We review the house as it is and explain the written offer and closing steps before you decide.
1. Tell us what is going on
Share the address and what you know about the deed, occupancy, repairs, timing, and any court papers. You do not need to have every document or answer ready to call.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We discuss the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. Work through title and signatures
The title company reviews the deed, applicable orders, required signatures, and closing figures. If you have a question about what an order requires, ask your attorney.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Closing costs
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
