Kansas City, Missouri
What other "home buyers" won't tell you.
Most of them aren't actually buying your house. They're middlemen who tie up your contract, then resell it to a real buyer like me and keep the difference. That's why offers get renegotiated a week before closing.
I'd rather you keep that difference.
- We buy your house ourselves. No wholesaling.
- If the house is what you told me, my number doesn't move.
- We'll even help you buy your next house.
No games. No gimmicks. We'll make you the highest offer on your house, or pay you $250 and tell you to take someone else's.
All three are written into your contract, not promised on a phone call. The move is covered up to $1,000, within 25 miles of the house.
Proof, not a claim
Here's how we know.
Those same "home buyers" email us, trying to sell us the contracts they just tied up. This is our actual inbox.
Real emails in our inbox from other "home buyers." Senders redacted.
We buy with our own money and we close. No middleman, no assignment, and your contract never gets shopped to somebody else.
Meet the buyer
Why I can pay more than the cash guys.
Ninety seconds, from me. Then you'll know exactly how the two offers work and whether we're worth a phone call.
Why we can pay more
Most buyers can only hand you one number.
We hand you two.
A cash buyer has to discount your house, because they need their money back out of it fast. That isn't greed, it's just how their math works. We have a second way to pay, and it lets us go higher.
Paid in full at closing
One lump sum at closing. Fast, simple, done. Take this one if you need the money now, or you just want it behind you.
Paid over time, worth more
A larger total, paid out over time instead of all at closing. If you don't need a lump sum, this is almost always the bigger number.
We put both in front of you and explain the difference. You choose.
Where the second offer comes from
My grandfather figured out that the apples weren't worth less.
The timing was wrong.
An illustration of my grandfather's orchard. He passed before we ever thought to take pictures of it, so we had this made from the way he described it.
Gunther Gnass worked the farmers markets in Montreal. Back then every grower hauled the whole crop in come October and took whatever price the market felt like giving, because the only other option was watching it rot in the barn.
So he built cold storage. Same apples, held until February, sold for several times the October price. He didn't grow a better apple. He just stopped being forced to sell on somebody else's schedule.
That's the second offer. A cash buyer has to discount your house because they're selling at harvest. We don't have to, so you don't have to either.
The Straight Answer Guarantee™
If we can't beat the offer you already have, we'll tell you to take it and pay you $250.
We'd rather lose honestly than waste your afternoon.
Already talked to another buyer and got something in writing? Bring it. We'll either beat it, or we'll tell you straight that theirs is the better deal. Either way you end up ahead, and if it's the second one you get $250 for your time.
What has to be true
- You had a written offer before ours, and showed it to us when we met.
- We made you an offer and chose not to beat it.
- Your house closed at or above that offer.
- You send us the settlement statement within 90 days of closing.
- One payment per property.
Your house also has to be in an area we're currently buying in. We'll tell you that on the first call, before you spend any time. If we make you an offer, this guarantee applies.
The honest part
We're not always your best option,
and we'll tell you when we're not.
Somewhere around a fifth of the conversations we have end with us saying "you know what, list it with an agent, you'll probably clear more." We're not going to pretend otherwise just to win a deal.
Selling to us makes sense when speed, certainty and convenience matter more than squeezing out the last dollar. When they don't, you deserve to hear that from the person sitting across your kitchen table.
Who calls us
If any of this sounds like you,
you're in the right place.
Nobody plans to sell a house this way. Everyone who calls has a reason, and we've heard it before. You don't owe us an explanation.
How it works
Three steps, and you can stop at any one of them.
You call
Ten minutes. Tell me about the house and what you're trying to do, and I'll give you both numbers on that call.
My contractor walks it
Once, to confirm the house is what we talked about. Don't clean, don't fix anything, don't stage it. Leave whatever you don't want.
You pick one, or neither
Both numbers side by side with the trade-off explained. Take one, take neither, or take the offer you already had.
You're calling the owner, not a call center.
I'm Chris. My dad and I own this company and we buy houses here in Kansas City ourselves. No call center in another country, nobody reading you a script, and nobody passing you off to four different people. No hedge fund, no national franchise.
When you call that number you get one of us. When we make you an offer, we're the ones who have to look you in the eye and stand behind it. That's the whole reason the guarantee exists: it costs us money to be wrong, which is a pretty good reason to be straight with you.

Where we buy
Kansas City metro, Missouri and Kansas.
We don't buy everywhere, and we'd rather tell you that in the first two minutes than after you've spent an afternoon on it. Outside these areas, call anyway and we'll point you toward someone who can help.
We Love KC!
Current as of September 2026. This list is what our guarantee refers to, so we keep it up to date.
Straight answers
The questions people actually ask.
What's the catch with the second offer?
No catch, but there is a trade-off and we'll walk you through it in plain English. You get a bigger total number, paid over time instead of all at closing. Better for some people, worse for others. If a lump sum is what you need, take Offer A. We'll tell you which one we'd take if we were you.
Do I have to fix anything or clean it out?
No. We buy the house as it sits. Leave furniture, junk, whatever you don't want to deal with. We've seen worse than whatever you're worried about.
Is this going to cost me anything?
No fees, no commission. We're buying directly, so there's no agent in the middle taking a percentage.
How fast can this happen?
A couple of weeks if you want it fast, slower if you don't. Some people need thirty days to line up their next place. We work to your calendar, not ours.
What if I already have an offer from someone else?
Good, bring it. That's what the Straight Answer Guarantee is for. We'll either beat it or tell you to take it and pay you $250. Just make sure you got it in writing before you talked to us, and show it to us when we meet.
Am I obligated to anything if I call?
No. Hang up, say no to both offers, or stop after the walkthrough. We don't do follow-up pressure and we don't sell your information.
Find out what your house is actually worth to us.
One call. Ten minutes. Two offers, or an honest answer about why we're not the right buyer for your house.
This is my family. They're the reason I'd rather lose a deal than talk somebody into one.
