Tell us about the houseFrom the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the address, the house’s condition, who lives there, and your timing. If paperwork, a payoff, a lien, or a notice is on your mind, tell us what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the house and your choices
We talk about the house as it stands, including repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific terms before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, signing, and payoffs
We work with the title company to review the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and any estate papers. We talk through access, belongings, and timing with you.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, any mortgage or lien payoffs, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled to be paid to you. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Step 6: Choose, sign, and close
You decide whether to proceed, compare another sale path, or stop before signing. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. The title company coordinates the signing and closing. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
No agent commissions when you sell to us.
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.

Missouri estate questions
Estate papers and who can sign
For an estate sale, the signer is the personal representative appointed by the probate court—not an heir acting alone. In independent administration, that representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. A will may also give the executor power to sell. We can talk through the papers you have and work with the title company on the sale. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Closing numbers
Missouri sale taxes and deed-recording fees
Missouri’s Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010.
State law sets deed-recording fees at $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
When things get difficult
We keep working through the bumps
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
