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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Missouri's constitution bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. County recording fees are separate: state law sets $5 for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

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 at the sale, the owner can redeem 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. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Often, yes. The person who handles an estate sale is generally the personal representative appointed by the probate court, not an heir acting alone. In independent administration, the representative generally may act without a court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order; the representative petitions, heirs and devisees receive notice, and the representative files a report after the sale for court approval. A will may give the executor a power to sell. Mortgages, liens, and estate claims still need to be paid or released for the buyer to receive clear title. Have the title company or an attorney confirm what the actual estate papers require.

Yes. Missouri law generally lets an owner transfer rented property and the right to future rent without the tenants’ consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The buyer becomes the landlord, and selling does not by itself require the tenant to move. Share the lease, deposit records, access details, and any tenant notices so the buyer and closing professional can account for them.

Start with the property address, what you know about the condition, who lives there, and the timing you are considering. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax notice, lien notice, or trustee-sale notice may help answer a follow-up question, but you can call before you have everything figured out.
