Excellent question. We’re not real estate agents, and we don’t list properties. We are professional property buyers: We purchase homes directly in St. Louis that meet our investment criteria. After acquisition, we may renovate the property for resale to another homeowner or maintain it as a rental in our portfolio.

Many properties we purchase are below market value (allowing us to renovate and resell at a profit). We seek a reasonable discount on properties. However, in our experience, most sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a substantial windfall but rather appreciate our ability to offer cash, close quickly (no waiting for financing), and require no effort, time, or expense from you to fix up the property or pay agent commissions. If you value getting your property sold quickly and efficiently, let’s explore a fair win-win price. (Remember, our no-obligation pricing approach means you’re never required to proceed with our offer… but it’s valuable to know your options!)

That’s a great question, and we’re completely transparent: Our process is straightforward. We evaluate the location of your property, what repairs are needed, the current condition, and the values of comparable properties recently sold in your area. As you may know, home values have significantly decreased over the past 5 years, and most areas haven’t yet seen prices recover. We consider numerous factors and develop a fair price that works for both parties.

This is what distinguishes us from traditional property selling methods: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your property to us. We’ll present an offer, and if it meets your needs, we’ll purchase your property (often covering closing costs too!). No complications. No fees. We generate our profit after completing necessary repairs and selling the property at a margin (we assume all risks regarding whether we can sell profitably after purchasing from you… once the transaction is complete, the responsibility is ours, and you walk away without the property burden and its expenses… typically with cash in hand).

Real estate agents list properties and wait for potential buyers. The agent shows properties to interested parties if available (the current average selling time in many markets is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price when they secure a buyer. Typically, an agent’s commission ranges from 3-6% of your property’s sale price (meaning for a $100,000 home, you’d pay $3,000-$6,000 in commissions). Agents provide valuable services for those who can wait several months to sell and don’t mind allocating part of their proceeds toward commission fees. That’s where we differ: We’re not agents—we’re direct property buyers. Our company actually purchases homes rather than listing them. Since we’re the actual buyers paying with cash, we can decide to purchase your property within days (sometimes even the same day). We earn our living by taking the risk of buying properties with our own funds, completing renovations, and marketing them ourselves to find buyers (the challenging part in today’s market).

There is absolutely zero obligation. After sharing some details about your property, we’ll review the information, potentially arrange a call to learn more, and present you with a fair all-cash offer that works for both parties. From there, it’s completely your decision whether to sell your property to us… we won’t pressure or harass you… the choice is 100% yours, and we respect whatever you determine is best for your situation.
