WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL A CASH BUYER?
The Process Most Cash Buyers Won’t Show You Up Front
If you’ve ever Googled ‘sell my house fast,’ you’ve probably noticed that almost every cash buyer’s site is heavy on promises and light on detail. Get a fair offer. Close in days. No fees. Sounds great, but what actually happens between ‘I called’ and ‘I got paid’? Who shows up at your door? When does the offer get locked in? What do you have to do, and what do we handle? What happens at closing?
Most cash buyers won’t answer those questions until you’re already on the phone with a salesperson. We do the opposite. The page below walks through every step of our process: who’s involved, what we’ll ask of you, what you’ll receive in writing, and exactly how the closing works. Read as much or as little as you want. Skip ahead to the step you have a question about. There’s no hidden mechanism here, and no surprises waiting at the closing table.

How to Sell Your House to Rex Buys KC in 5 Easy Steps
Most of our sellers go from first phone call to closed sale in under a month. Here’s exactly what happens at each step, what we’ll ask you, and what you can expect from us.
Reach Out to Us
The first step is the easiest one. Fill out the short form on this page or call Rex directly at 816-895-2999. Either way, you’ll be talking to a real person on our small Kansas City team. We’ll ask a handful of basic questions about your house: the address, roughly when it was built, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what’s going on that has you thinking about selling. That’s it. We don’t need perfect details, financial documents, or the house cleaned up. If something is broken or outdated, just tell us. It doesn’t change whether we’ll buy your house.
Get Your Cash Offer
From there, we put together a fair cash offer for your house. This often happens within 24 to 48 hours and includes a few brief touchpoints with our team:
A short conversation
We’ll talk through your house, your timeline, and any condition issues we should know about. If your situation isn’t a good fit, we’ll tell you so honestly and point you toward a better option.
A walkthrough
Casual, quick, and you don’t need to clean, declutter, or hide anything. We’ve seen houses in every condition you can imagine, and we never judge.
A written offer
Delivered by email, with a clear breakdown of the price and closing date. Based on real market data and condition. No lowballs, no pressure.
What our cash offer always includes:
- The full purchase price (no last-minute reductions)
- Zero realtor commissions (we’re not agents)
- Your choice of closing date (as soon as 7 days)
- The full purchase price (no last-minute reductions)
- Zero realtor commissions (we’re not agents)
- Your choice of closing date (as soon as 7 days)
Review and Accept the Offer
If the offer works for you, the next step is to sign a simple purchase agreement. We use plain English, not legal jargon, and we'll walk you through every line so you know exactly what you're agreeing to. There are no hidden clauses, no surprise contingencies, and no penalties for asking questions. Once you sign, the agreement gets sent to Clear Title Nationwide, our trusted local Kansas City title company partner. From this point forward, we coordinate directly with Clear Title to handle every piece of paperwork, every lien check, and every recording. You don’t lift a finger.
Close on Your Timeline
You pick the closing date that works for your life. After the title company researches the title and confirms everything is clear, we can close in just a few days, or schedule it weeks out if you need more time to plan a move. Closing happens at the title company’s office (with mobile notary or remote closing available if getting there in person is a hardship).
Cash in Hand
On closing day, you sign the final documents and the transaction is complete. Payment goes out the same day, usually by wire transfer that arrives in your bank account within a few hours. The number on your offer is the number that hits your account. No deductions, no surprises, no follow-up paperwork. You walk away with cash and the next chapter of your life ready to start.
What to Expect on Closing Day
Closing is the part of the process most sellers worry about, especially if they’ve never sold a house before or had a stressful experience the last time. Here’s exactly what happens, in plain English, so there are no surprises.
Where closing happens
Closing happens at Clear Title’s office. They’ll send you a confirmation in advance with the location, parking instructions, and what to bring. If getting to the closing in person is a hardship, Clear Title can arrange a mobile notary or remote closing. Just let us know.
Where closing happens
- Valid government-issued photo ID
- Keys, garage door openers, access codes
- Wiring instructions for your bank account
- Anything you want to keep from the house
What happens at the closing table
The title company representative walks you through each document, explains what you’re signing, and answers any questions. You’ll sign the deed transferring the property to Rex Buys KC, a few standard disclosures, and the settlement statement showing the final numbers. Once everything’s signed, the transaction is complete and the title company releases your funds.

We’ve Helped Sellers in Every Situation You Can Imagine
The 5-step process above is the same whether you’re facing foreclosure next week, settling an inherited property hundreds of miles away, finalizing a divorce, or just tired of being a landlord. We adjust the timeline, the level of communication, and the details of the agreement to fit your specific situation, but the core process never changes.
Inherited house or probate:
we work with executors and heirs, simplify probate timelines, and pay cash so you can settle the estate cleanly
Foreclosure:
we can close before the auction date and pay off your mortgage balance, often saving your credit
Divorce:
we work neutrally with both parties (and their attorneys, if needed) so the sale doesn’t become another battleground
Tired landlord:
we buy rental properties with tenants in place, no eviction or vacancy required
Damaged or as-is house:
fire, water, foundation, roof, full cleanout needed, all welcome, leave whatever you don’t want
Bankruptcy:
we work within court timelines, coordinate with your attorney or trustee, and close on the dates the case requires
