Common Questions to Ask a Cash Home Buyer Before You Sell

We buy directly. Rex Buys KC purchases your house with our own funds and closes in our name through our local title company partner, Clear Title Nationwide. We are the buyer, not a middleman shopping your contract around to other investors. When we make you an offer and you accept, we are the ones who show up at closing and send you the money.

No. A wholesaler puts your house under contract and then sells that contract to another buyer for a fee, which can mean surprises, delays, or a deal that falls through if they can’t find someone. We are actual cash buyers. We have been buying and rehabbing Kansas City houses with our own money since 2014, and we close on the houses we put under contract.

Since 2014. Rex started rehabbing houses in Kansas City in 2012 and launched Rex Buys KC in 2014. Over the last decade-plus we have purchased 200+ houses across the KC metro and paid out more than $20 million to local homeowners.

Yes. We are a family-owned Kansas City company with a real local office at 124 Missouri Ave in the River Market. Rex lives in the Northland with his family. When you call, you are talking to a real person on our small local team, not a call center in another state.

Absolutely, and we encourage it. We have 100+ verified Google reviews with a 4.9-star average, an A+ BBB accreditation held since 2021, and we are happy to connect you with past sellers who can tell you about their experience. You can also read longer seller stories on our Reviews page.

Yes, gladly. Because we buy with our own cash rather than a bank loan, we can show you proof of funds up front so you know the money is real before you sign anything. Verifying who you are dealing with is smart, and we would rather you feel completely confident than feel rushed.

Yes. Once we have a signed purchase agreement, we put earnest money down with the title company as a good-faith commitment to the purchase. It shows we are serious and gives you protection. The exact amount is spelled out in the agreement, so there are no surprises.

Our offer is firm. The number we put in writing is the number you get at closing, with no last-minute reductions or ‘we found a problem’ price cuts that some buyers spring on sellers after an inspection. We base the offer on the home’s condition up front, so there is no reason to change it later.

Yes, completely. We buy your house exactly as it sits. You do not need to make repairs, clean, stage, or haul anything away. Fire, water, foundation, roof, a full cleanout needed, none of it changes whether we buy. Leave behind whatever you do not want, and we handle it after closing.

No. Unlike a traditional listing with a parade of showings, inspectors, and appraisers, selling to us usually means a single quick walkthrough. Once we are under contract, we are not sending strangers through your home or scheduling repeated visits. We respect your privacy and your time.

Every closing goes through Clear Title Nationwide, our licensed local Kansas City title company partner. They handle the paperwork, run the title search, and disburse your funds. On closing day you will typically receive your money by wire transfer, which usually lands in your bank account within a few hours.

Very close to the full offer. There are no realtor commissions because we are not agents, and we cover the standard closing costs. Any existing mortgage balance, liens, or back taxes are paid off from the proceeds, and you will see every line on the settlement statement before you sign. What is left is yours.

As fast as 7 days in many cases, once the title company confirms the title is clear. Because we pay cash, there is no lender, no financing contingency, and no 30-to-45-day mortgage approval to wait on. If you are up against a hard deadline like a foreclosure auction, we can move quickly to meet it.

Often, yes. If you need a few extra days in the house after closing to finish your move, just tell us up front and we will work it into the agreement. We have helped many sellers who needed a little transition time, and we would rather make the move easy than rush you out the door.

In some situations, yes. If a small advance before closing would help you cover moving costs or get to your next place, mention it early and we will see what we can do. Every situation is different, but our goal is to remove obstacles, not add them.
