Call (816) 429-2900 or use the form on this page. Start with what’s going on with the house, then your timeline and the condition.

We look, then we write a number
We look at the house with you before we write the number. The walkthrough is about 15 to 30 minutes with Ernest Dodson or Casey Davis. Do not clean. Do not repair. After that, you get a written cash offer within 24 hours. It shows homes like yours, the repairs we priced, and the amount we can pay. We are not saying what the house is worth.

Close on a day you pick
You pick the day. Some sellers close in 7 days. Some need 30 to 60 days to move. We close at a title company that records in Johnson County. We cover the closing costs that come with our purchase. A mortgage, back taxes, or a lien is paid from the sale when the price covers it. You see the settlement statement before closing day.
If the price does not cover the taxes and any mortgage or other liens, we say so before you sign.
Your choices
Keep it, list it, or sell for cash.
A cash offer is what we can pay for the house as it is today. It is less than a retail price. Paying what you owe, or listing the house, can be the better path if you have the money and the time. We will say so.
Stay
Keep the house
This fits when you want to stay and you can cover what is due.
- Ask the county what is due today, including costs.
- Some counties offer a contract or a payment plan. We do not enroll you in one.
- Get the figure in writing before you decide the house is unaffordable.
A retail sale
List the house
A listing can bring more if you have time and the house can be shown.
- A buyer who needs a loan can fall out.
- Taxes and a mortgage are still usually paid at that closing.
- Repairs, showings, and a commission come out of a retail sale.

- You pick the day. Some sellers close in 7 days. Some need 30 to 60 days.

Local tax and title
How a Johnson County tax foreclosure works
Johnson County property taxes are due December 20. The foreclosure is a court case and a sheriff sale. This is not legal advice. Confirm the payoff and the date with the county.
Redeem before 5 p.m. the day before
Johnson County sues in court and the sheriff sells the house under K.S.A. 79-2801. The county says listed property must be redeemed before 5 p.m. the day before the auction. Once the deed is issued, there is no buying it back.
No auction was scheduled when we last checked the guide
When our tax guide was reviewed, Johnson County said no tax foreclosure auction was currently scheduled. Check the county page before you rely on a date. If a petition is already filed, the redemption amount has to be paid in full with costs, fees, and interest.
Where to verify this
- Johnson County tax foreclosure County page for auction status and redemption timing.
