You shouldn’t have to fight this hard to sell a house
Selling Your Kansas City House Shouldn’t Be This Hard
A foreclosure notice. An inherited house in another state. A divorce that has to close. A tenant who left thousands in damage. A roof that needs replacing on top of everything else. Life doesn’t wait, and the traditional sale process isn’t built for homeowners who can’t either.
Listing takes 60 to 90 days: agent interviews, prep, showings, inspections, financing contingencies. Any one step can fall apart and send you back to the start. Meanwhile you’re paying the mortgage, utilities, and insurance, watching the situation get harder, not easier.
There’s a simpler way. Hundreds of Kansas City families have used it. Learn more about what makes Rex Buys KC the right choice.

Sell Your Kansas City Home for Cash—No Fees or Repairs
I’m Rex Rodenbaugh. My family and I moved to Kansas City in 2012 and live in the Northland. My team and I started Rex Buys KC in 2014, right here in Kansas City. We built this company to be the people you actually want to call when things are hard, because we saw too many of our neighbors getting pushed through a traditional home-sale process that wasn’t built for them.
Since then, we’ve bought hundreds of houses across the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line: foreclosure 48 hours before auction, probate cases with heirs in three different states, houses with structural damage or years of accumulated belongings, rentals with tenants in place, and plenty of move-in-ready homes from sellers who just needed speed and certainty.
When you call us, you talk to a real person, usually me or someone on my small team. No pressure, no games, no ‘we’ll get back to you in 30 days.’ Whatever you’re facing, we’ve almost certainly seen it before, and we know what to do next. Our office sits downtown in the River Market, Kansas City’s downtown village, so we’re easy to find.

We Buy Houses As-Is in Kansas City, No Matter Your Situation
You might think your situation makes your house impossible to sell. In a traditional listing, maybe, but not with us. We’ve helped hundreds of Kansas City families sell in some of the toughest circumstances life can throw at you.
Situations we can help:
- Foreclosure

- Distressed Property
- Relocating
- Downsizing
- Vacant House

Learn more about the situations our team is asked about most often
Below are deeper looks at the six situations we help with most, and exactly how we handle each one.
Selling an inherited house or settling probate
Inheriting a house often comes with grief, paperwork, and a property that may be hundreds of miles away. We work with executors and heirs across Kansas City, simplify probate-related sales, and pay cash so you can settle the estate without the burden of repairs, listings, or holding costs.
Avoiding foreclosure or auction
Facing foreclosure or behind on mortgage payments in Kansas City? We can close in as little as 7 days, often before the auction date, and pay off your mortgage balance directly. That can mean the difference between years of credit damage and a clean exit.
Selling during a divorce
Selling a house during divorce is rarely just a transaction. We work neutrally with both parties and their attorneys, close fast, and keep the process simple so the sale doesn’t become another battleground.
Walking away from a tired rental
Tired of late rent, midnight maintenance calls, or watching capital gains pile up? We buy rental properties in Kansas City with tenants in place, no eviction required and no repairs. Walk away from the headache without disrupting your tenants’ lives.
Selling a damaged or as-is house
Fire damage. Water damage. Foundation issues. Roof problems. Outdated everything. Whatever the condition, we’ll buy it. You don’t spend a dollar on repairs, you don’t haul anything out, you don’t even have to clean.
Closing during bankruptcy
Working through bankruptcy in Missouri or Kansas? Selling quickly can help satisfy creditors, simplify the case, and give you a clean start. We work within court timelines, coordinate with your attorney or trustee, and pay cash so you can close the chapter.
Why a Cash Sale Wins When You Don’t Have Time to Play Real Estate
Listing through a real estate agent in Kansas City takes 60 to 90 days on average, and only if everything goes right. Commissions, repairs, closing costs, and financing contingencies can eat 8 to 10 percent of your sale price and months of your life. Here’s what you trade for when you sell to us instead.
No commissions, no closing costs, no fees
A traditional listing costs 5 to 6 percent in realtor commissions, plus seller-paid closing costs, plus repair credits from the inspection. With us, those numbers are zero. The offer we put in writing is what hits your bank account.
No repairs, no cleaning, no staging
We buy houses in any condition: roof problems, foundation issues, outdated everything, fire damage, houses packed with years of belongings. Skip the contractor, skip the professional photos, skip the curb-appeal upgrades. Whatever the house looks like today is exactly how we’ll buy it.
Close on your timeline, not theirs
Need to be out in 10 days? We can do that. Need 60 days because your next house isn’t ready? We can do that too. The average Kansas City house takes 60 to 90 days to sell traditionally. Our average closing is 25 days, on the date you pick.
No risk of the deal falling through
We use our own cash, so there are no bank approvals, no financing contingencies, and no buyer dropping out at the last minute. We do run a targeted 5-day inspection after the agreement is signed, but our written offer is firm, and the only conditions that could change it are major sewer, septic, or foundation issues we couldn’t see on the initial walkthrough. When we make an offer, we close.
Rex Buys KC vs. a Realtor vs. For Sale by Owner
Same house, three very different selling experiences. Here’s how they stack up:
| Realtor | Rex Buys KC | FSBO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commissions / fees | 5 to 6% of sale price | $0 | Variable |
| Time until sold | 60 to 90+ days | 7 to 25 days | Often longer |
| Repairs required | Yes, to pass inspection | None, we buy-as-is | Yes |
| Showings & open houses | Many | None | Many |
| Financing contingencies | Yes | No, we pay cash | Usually |
| Risk of falling through | High | Very low | High |
| Closing costs | You often pay | We cover them | You pay |
| Offer guaranteed? | No | Yes, in writing | No |
What Life Looks Like After Closing
Three weeks ago you were waking up to a problem that felt impossible. The foreclosure notice. The inherited house in another state. The tenant call you didn’t want to take. The repairs you couldn’t afford. The decisions you were putting off because every option felt worse than the last.
Today, that problem is gone. The house is sold. The cash is in your account. The mortgage, the utilities, the insurance, the maintenance: all someone else’s responsibility now. You haven’t spent a dollar on repairs, you haven’t swept a single floor, you haven’t shaken a stranger’s hand at an open house. You walked into a title company office for one hour, signed your name a few times, and walked back out with the rest of your life back.
That’s what selling to Rex Buys KC looks like. Not a transaction. A clean exit from something that was draining you, so you can focus on what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Kansas City House
How fast can I sell my house in Kansas City?
Most Rex Buys KC closings happen in 7 to 25 days from your first call. If you are facing a foreclosure auction or another hard deadline, we can often move even faster. You pick the closing date, and if you need more time to move out, we can push it out to fit your timeline.
How much will I get for my Kansas City house in a cash sale?
You get a fair, all-cash offer based on your house's real market value and condition, minus the repairs and updates we take on ourselves. There are no commissions or fees deducted, so the number we put in writing is what hits your bank account. We walk you through exactly how we reach the offer, and there is no obligation to accept it.
Do I need to make any repairs before you buy my Kansas City house?
No. We buy houses exactly as they are, in any condition. Roof problems, foundation issues, fire or water damage, outdated finishes, or a house full of belongings are all fine. You do not spend a dollar on repairs, and you do not have to clean or haul anything out.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs when I sell to Rex Buys KC?
No. There are no commissions, no listing fees, and no seller-paid closing costs. We cover the standard closing costs, so the written offer we give you is the amount you walk away with.
Where do you buy houses in Kansas City?
We buy across the entire Kansas City metro on both the Missouri and Kansas sides of State Line, including Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Gladstone, and more. Our office is in the River Market, so we can usually be at your house the same day or the next day.
Is it legal to sell my house for cash in Missouri or Kansas?
Yes. Selling your house for cash is completely legal in both Missouri and Kansas. Every sale closes through a licensed local title company that handles the title search, paperwork, and transfer of funds, so everything is documented and secure.
Do I need a realtor to sell my Kansas City house as-is?
No. You are never required to use a real estate agent to sell your house. When you sell directly to us there is no listing, no agent, and no commission. We handle the paperwork and close through a title company.
Are 'We Buy Houses' companies in Kansas City legitimate?
Many are, but not all. Look for a local company with a real office, verifiable reviews, and a firm written offer, rather than a wholesaler who ties up your house and shops it to other buyers. Rex Buys KC is family-owned, based in the River Market, BBB A+ accredited, buys with our own cash, and has purchased hundreds of Kansas City houses since 2014.
