Questions About Selling a House in Mehlville, MO

The sale price is not the amount left in your pocket. Repairs, selling costs, and bills while you wait can change what remains. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes also affect what you keep.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Missouri's Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. A deed has a recording fee of $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law; the title company or closing professional confirms the exact charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Yes. You can call before every paper is gathered. Tell us what you know about the house and the question you are trying to answer; we can talk through the property, timing, or paperwork together.

The personal representative appointed by the probate court handles the estate sale; an heir acting only as an heir cannot sign for the estate. With independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. With supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order, notice to heirs and devisees, and a report for court approval. A will may also give the executor power to sell. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris — and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.

You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the trustee's sale. When a home loan is secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, the lender can foreclose through a trustee's sale without a court case. The sale is held in the county where the property is, with at least 20 days' notice published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record. If the lender or someone acting for it buys the house at the sale, the owner can redeem it within one year. To keep that right, the owner must give written notice of intent to redeem at the sale or within ten days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed.
