How it works · Kansas City
You do not need money to fix the house first. You only need the address. Tell us about the house. We look at it with you. You get a written cash number. You pick the closing day, or you say no.
Mon–Fri 8:00–17:00 CT (America/Chicago). Saturday and Sunday closed.
The steps
Here is the visit, the written number, and what the title company does after you say yes.
Today
Call (816) 429-2900, send the address, or pick a time on this page. We ask for the address, the condition, and your timeline. You do not need repair bids. You do not need money to fix the house first.
Visit
A home walkthrough takes about 45 minutes. A phone call takes about 15 minutes if you want to talk first. You meet Ernest Dodson or Casey Davis. Do not clean. Do not repair. Leave what you plan to leave.
24 hours
After we see the house, you get a written cash offer within 24 hours. It shows homes like yours, the repairs, and the amount we can pay. We are not saying what the house is worth. We are saying what we can pay for it as it is now.
Your day
You pick the day. Some sellers close in 7 days. Some need 30 to 60 days to move. We close at a local title company. We cover the closing costs that come with our purchase. A mortgage, back taxes, or a lien is paid from the sale. You see the settlement statement before closing day.
What you can skip
None of this is required before we will look at the house or write the offer.
After you say yes
A number on a phone call is not the offer. The offer is the written one, after we have seen the house.
We open with a local title company in the Kansas City metro. They search the title for liens, back taxes, and who is on the deed. Payoffs come out of the sale at closing. You do not have to clear them before we start.
A few days before closing, you get the settlement statement: the price, any mortgage payoff, tax or lien payoffs, and what you net. Read it before you go to the table. On closing day you sign, and the title company releases your funds the way that statement shows.
You can walk away before you sign the closing papers. If we assign the contract to another buyer, we tell you as soon as we know. If anything changes, we tell you right away. Leave behind anything you do not want. We handle cleanout after closing.
Four ways to sell
A cash offer is less than a retail price. It is what we can pay for the house as it is now. The other ways can pay more if you have the time and the money.
What Saving KC does
We buy the house as it is. You do not fix it first.
You list it
You put the house up for sale yourself.
An agent lists it
An agent puts the house on the market when you have the time, and the house is ready or you can pay for the work.
Fix it first
You fix the house, then you list it, if you have the money and the time.
Seven quick questions. There is no wrong answer, and we will tell you honestly if listing would leave you more.
When people call
People call us about these problems. If one of them is your house, the cash path can fit. Each card is the same situation listed in the footer, and each one has its own page.
The letters keep coming. If we buy the house, the back taxes can be paid at closing.

What we put in writing
Four things that belong in writing. If a buyer will not write them down, that tells you a lot.
We show homes like yours, the repairs, and the amount we can pay. We are not saying what the house is worth. We are telling you what we can pay in its current condition.
We cover the closing costs that come with our purchase. A mortgage, back taxes, or a lien is paid from the sale by the title company, from your proceeds. You see what you will get, and the cost list, on the settlement statement before closing day.
You are selling to Saving KC Homebuyers. If we assign the contract to another buyer, we tell you as soon as we know. If anything changes, we tell you right away.
An attorney or a listing agent can read the offer first. You can walk away. The offer costs nothing. Take it home. If listing the house, or fixing it and then selling, would leave you with more, and you have the time and the money, we will say so. We will show you how to do that the safe way.
Schedule a home walkthrough, or ask for a phone call first. Weekday times are 8 to 5 CT. Saturday mornings are 9 to noon. No Sunday times. Saturday visits are appointments. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday.

Questions and answers
These are the process questions. The full list is on the FAQ page.
Get My Cash OfferWe call you, or we meet at the time you picked. The first conversation is about the house and your timeline. It costs nothing. You can also call (816) 429-2900 on weekdays from 8 to 5 CT.
No. Leave the repairs, the trash, and the old stuff. Take what you want and leave the rest. The condition changes the number. It does not change whether we will come look.
We look at recent sales of homes like yours, price the repairs, and show the amount we can pay. We do not call it the highest price. We do not tell you what the house is worth. You see the written offer before you sign.
After we see the house. A form or a phone call starts the conversation. The written offer comes within 24 hours of the walkthrough. If you book a call first, we will tell you what we still need to see before the number is in writing.
We cover the closing costs that come with our purchase. A mortgage, back taxes, or a lien is paid from the sale at a local title company. You see those numbers on the settlement statement before closing day. You do not write us a check to get started.
You are selling to Saving KC Homebuyers. If we assign the contract to another buyer, we tell you as soon as we know. If anything changes, we tell you right away. You can say no. You can have an attorney or a listing agent read it first.
Yes. The offer costs nothing, and you can walk away before you sign the closing papers. Take it home. Compare it with listing the house or repairing it first.
Then list. A ready house and enough time can net more on the open market. We will say so. The cash offer is for an as-is sale with a date you pick, not the highest price.
Yes. Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties in Missouri, and Wyandotte and Johnson counties in Kansas.
Tell us the address and what is going on. We will give you a real number. You can say yes or no.
