Missouri · Kansas City metro
Yes. We buy houses in those three Missouri counties as they are, including back taxes, repairs, inherited homes, and houses that need a fast date. Jackson County’s tax sale is a court sale. Clay and Platte use a certificate sale.
Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties are the Missouri side we serve. Send the address. We look at the house and give you a written cash number. You pick the closing day.
Mon–Fri 8:00–17:00 CT (America/Chicago). Saturday and Sunday closed.

Where we buy
These are the counties and cities already on our list. City pages are not separate. The county page is the page.
The purchase
The steps are the same in all three counties. The tax clock is not. Read the county note before you plan around a sale date.
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. Your name, your phone number, and the Missouri property address come at the end, so we can send the offer. You do not need repair bids. We answer Mon–Fri 8am–5pm CT.
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.
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 the Missouri county where the house sits. 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
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
This fits when you want to stay and you can cover what is due.
A retail sale
A listing can bring more if you have time and the house can be shown.
What we do
We buy the house as it is. The number is what we can pay, not a retail price.
A number for this house
Start with what is going on. Taxes, repairs, a tenant, probate, or a date. Your name, phone, and the property address come at the end of the form.
Local tax and title
Missouri property taxes are due December 31. After that, Jackson County does not follow the same sale as Clay and Platte. This is not legal advice. Confirm the payoff and the date with the county.
In Clay and Platte, the county sells a tax-lien certificate at the August sale under RSMo Chapter 140. The sale is typically the fourth Monday in August. You usually keep title and have about a year after the sale to redeem by paying the taxes, interest, and costs.
Jackson County does not follow that long post-sale window. Under RSMo Chapter 141, the 16th Circuit Court runs a Delinquent Land Tax sale, with separate sales for the Kansas City and Independence sides. The 2026 sale was canceled by executive order and no next date has been announced, but the taxes are still owed. You generally have to pay before the court confirms the sale. For a vacant house, the cutoff can come sooner.
In writing
Same promises as the how-it-works page. Nothing on this page adds a price.
You get a written cash offer. We show homes like yours, the repairs we priced, and the amount we can pay. We do not call it the highest price.
We cover the closing costs that come with our purchase. A mortgage, back taxes, or a lien is paid from the sale at the title company. You see those numbers 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. You can have an attorney or a listing agent read the offer first. You can say no.
Ernest Dodson is a Missouri-licensed real estate salesperson with Platinum Realty LLC, license #2023026433. Saving KC Homebuyers LLC buys real estate as a principal. We may assign the purchase contract to another buyer, and we tell you when we do.

Jackson, Clay, and Platte. That is the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro on this site. The cities under each county on this page are the ones already in our county files.
Yes, in Johnson and Wyandotte counties. If the house is across State Line, start on that page. The tax sale there is a sheriff sale, not the Missouri certificate sale.
Yes, if you still own it and the price covers what is owed. The title company pays the county from the closing funds. You do not have to bring that payoff in cash first. If the price does not cover the taxes and any mortgage or other liens, we say so before you sign.
No. Clay and Platte generally use a certificate sale under RSMo Chapter 140, with about a year to redeem after the August sale. Jackson County uses a court sale under RSMo Chapter 141, without that long window. The comparison guide is the longer version.
