Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Wildwood seller questions, answered
How can I compare what I might keep from selling?
Compare what is left after costs, not just the sale price. Repairs, selling costs, and the time you carry the house can change what remains. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes also affect what you keep.
Do I need to repair or clean out my Wildwood house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Will I see the offer and terms before I decide?
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
How soon can a sale close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
What closing costs and fees apply to a Missouri house sale?
Missouri's Constitution bars state, county, and local governments from imposing new taxes on real-estate sales or transfers after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply: $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 recording charges. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Can I sell a house with back taxes or liens?
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.
Can I sell a Wildwood house with tenants still living there?
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.
Can I sell before a Missouri trustee's sale?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the trustee's sale. With a deed of trust that gives the lender a power of sale, a Missouri lender can foreclose through a trustee's sale without a court case. The sale takes place 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, you may redeem the house within one year. To keep that right, give written notice of intent at the sale or within the 10 days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. Ask the title company or an attorney to confirm the sale date and payoff amount. If a sale is scheduled, call us with the date and we can talk through the timing with you.
