About our cash offers
Do you really pay cash?
Yes. Our offers are all-cash and don't depend on bank financing, so there's no risk of a loan falling through at the last minute. That's how we can close quickly and reliably.
Will I get a fair price for my home?
We base every offer on your home's condition, recent nearby sales, and what it will take to bring the property up to date. We're always happy to walk you through the numbers so the offer makes sense, and there's never any pressure to accept.
How do you decide on your offer price?
We look at your home's location and condition, what comparable homes nearby have recently sold for, and the cost of any updates or repairs the property needs. We're glad to explain exactly how we arrived at the number so it's clear and transparent.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no hidden fees. The cash offer we agree on is what you walk away with.
Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?
None at all. Requesting an offer is completely free and puts you under no obligation. If it isn't the right fit for you, you're free to walk away - no cost and no hard feelings.
Are you real estate agents?
Tessa is a licensed Missouri real estate agent with ReeceNichols - Kansas City North, but Northland Neighbor Property Buyers is not a brokerage. We buy your home directly for cash as the buyer - no listing, no agent commissions, no middleman.
The home & the process
Do I need to make repairs or clean up first?
Not at all. We buy houses exactly as they are. Leave behind anything you don't want, skip the repairs, and don't worry about cleaning. We'll take care of it after closing.
What kinds of homes do you buy?
Single-family houses, townhomes, condos, duplexes, and rentals - in any condition. Whether it's move-in ready or needs a lot of work, we'd be glad to take a look.
Do you buy rental properties with tenants still in them?
Yes. We buy rentals whether they're vacant or still occupied. You don't have to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end - we can work out the details with you.
How quickly can we close?
We can often close in about two weeks - enough time for the title company to confirm everything is clean and clear - but the timeline is completely up to you. If you need more time to make arrangements, just let us know and we'll work around your schedule.
What if I still owe money on my mortgage?
That's very common and not a problem. At closing, the title company pays off your remaining mortgage balance from the sale, and you receive whatever is left over. If you owe more than the home is worth, reach out and we'll talk through the options.
Situations we help with
Can you help if I'm facing foreclosure or behind on payments?
Often, yes. A fast cash sale can help you settle what's owed and avoid foreclosure on your record. The earlier you reach out, the more time we have to work through your options together - always at no cost and with no pressure.
Do you buy inherited or probate homes?
Yes. We buy inherited and probate properties as-is and can work alongside the probate process. You won't need to clear the house out or make any repairs - we'll handle it from there.
How is selling to you different from listing with an agent?
With an agent you may face months of showings, repairs, staging, commissions, and the chance a buyer's financing falls through. Selling to us skips all of that: no repairs, no showings, no fees, and a cash offer with a closing date you choose.
Getting started
What areas do you serve?
We focus on the Kansas City Northland - Clay and Platte counties, MO - including Gladstone, Liberty, Kearney, Smithville, Parkville, Riverside, Platte City, North Kansas City, and nearby communities. Not sure if we cover your area? Just ask - we probably do.
How do I get started, and do I have to accept the offer?
Just fill out our quick form or call us at (816) 298-0957. We'll learn a little about your home, set up a time to see it, and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer. Whether you accept is entirely up to you.
Is my information kept private?
Always. We never sell or share your information, and requesting an offer puts you under no obligation whatsoever.
