Frequently Asked Questions

We're a local St. Louis real estate investment company. We buy houses directly from homeowners for cash, renovate them, and put them back on the market as quality housing — which helps revitalize neighborhoods while giving sellers a fast, respectful way to move on.

No. We're the actual buyer. We don't list your house or show it to the public — we purchase it ourselves, which is why there's no commission and no waiting on another buyer's financing.

St. Louis and the surrounding metro are our main focus, and we also buy houses throughout Missouri. If you're not sure we cover your area, just reach out — we'll tell you right away.

Residential properties in almost any condition, including:

• Inherited and probate properties
• Houses facing foreclosure
• Homes needing minor or major repairs
• Vacant or fire-damaged properties
• Rentals, including ones with difficult tenants

Not at all. We buy homes as-is — damage, clutter, outdated systems, code violations and all. No cleaning, staging, or fixing required.

Five simple steps:

• Reach out with a few basic details about the property.
• Quick assessment — we schedule one visit at a time that works for you.
• Cash offer — you get a straightforward, no-obligation offer within 24–48 hours.
• Pick your closing date — as soon as 7 days, or later if you need more time.
• We handle the paperwork, from title work to closing documents.

Most purchases close within 7–14 days. If you need longer — to find your next place, wait on a job move, or settle an estate — we'll set the closing date around your schedule.

Usually within 24–48 hours after we see the property.

No. There are no listings, open houses, or strangers walking through. It's one quick visit from us, and the sale stays private and discreet.

No bank appraisal and no inspection contingencies. Our one walkthrough is all we need to make an offer.

We take care of the title work and closing paperwork for you. Closing is handled through a licensed title company, so your funds and documents are handled by a neutral third party.

Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest — we'll deal with it after closing. No need to haul anything to the curb.

Yes. Getting an offer is free and confidential. If it doesn't work for you, you simply say no — no pressure, no hard feelings.

Yes. Our offers are based on the local market, the home's condition, and the work it needs — and we'll walk you through exactly how we arrived at the number.

We look at what similar renovated homes nearby have sold for, then factor in the repairs and updates your house needs and the costs of buying, holding, and reselling it. We share that math with you, so there's no mystery.

No. We don't charge commissions or fees, and we cover typical closing costs. You avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely, so the offer we make is close to what you actually walk away with.

Listing can bring a higher sticker price on a move-in-ready home, but it usually comes with repairs, showings, months of waiting, commissions, and the risk of a buyer's financing falling through. Selling to us trades some of that top-end price for speed, certainty, and zero hassle. If your house needs work or you're on a deadline, cash often comes out ahead.

Your funds are paid at closing through the title company, typically by wire transfer or certified check — your choice.

Absolutely. We work with homeowners in foreclosure and pre-foreclosure regularly. Because we can close quickly, selling before the auction date may help you avoid a foreclosure on your record. The sooner you call, the more options you have.

Yes — inherited and probate properties are among the most common houses we buy. You don't need to clear it out or fix it up, and we can work around the probate timeline. If the estate isn't settled yet, we can still talk through options.

Yes. We buy rental properties, including ones with difficult or non-paying tenants. You don't have to evict anyone before selling.

A quick, simple sale can make dividing a property much easier. We keep things straightforward and work with both parties to land on a closing date that works.

We can still buy it. In most cases, liens and unpaid taxes are paid off out of the sale proceeds at closing, and code violations become our problem, not yours.

We partner with private investors to buy and renovate single-family homes in the St. Louis area. You provide capital; we find, renovate, and sell the property. There are three structures: private lending (fixed interest, secured by a recorded lien), a hybrid partnership (base return plus a profit share), and an equity partnership (co-investing in a property-specific LLC).

Each investment is tied to a specific property. Protections include a recorded lien with the county, conservative leverage against the after-repair value, a lender's title insurance policy, being named on the property's hazard insurance, renovation funds released only as work is verified, and closing through a licensed title company.

Minimums vary by deal. We'll go over current opportunities and amounts on a short introductory call.

Often, yes, through a self-directed IRA or 401(k) custodian. Talk with your custodian and tax advisor first.

Not necessarily for private lending. Equity partnerships are typically limited to accredited investors. We'll clarify what fits you on our call.
