The purchase
How a cash purchase works in Jackson County

Tell us what’s going on
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 Jackson 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.

Local tax and title
How a Jackson County tax sale works
Jackson County property taxes are due December 31. The sale after that is a court sale. This is not legal advice. Confirm the payoff and the date with the county.
Delinquent Land Tax sale
Under RSMo Chapter 141, the 16th Circuit Court runs a Delinquent Land Tax sale. It holds separate sales for the Independence and Kansas City sides. The 2026 sale, set for August 10–14 in Independence and August 17–21 in Kansas City, was canceled by the County Executive's executive order. The taxes are still owed, and no date for the next sale has been announced. You generally have to pay before the court confirms the sale. For a vacant house, the cutoff can come sooner.
Selling before the court confirms
If you still own the house, a sale can pay the back taxes from the closing funds. The title company orders the payoff. The county is paid before you receive what is left.
