Selling in Kansas City: what to know
- Foreclosure in Missouri
- Non-judicial (no court case)
- Missouri foreclosures are almost always non-judicial: the trustee named in the deed of trust sells the house after published notice, without a court case. It's one of the faster processes in the country, so it pays to act early.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Kansas City, the estate is usually handled through the Probate Division of the Jackson County Circuit Court (or Clay or Platte County, north of the river).
- Kansas City crosses four counties
- Kansas City, Missouri reaches into Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass Counties. North of the river, a Kansas City address is usually in Clay or Platte County, which decides where you pay property taxes, where the deed is recorded and which probate court handles an estate.
- Kansas City rental permits
- Kansas City requires landlords to hold a city rental permit under its Healthy Homes program, and tenants can ask the city to inspect. If your rental isn't permitted or wouldn't pass inspection, you can still sell it. I buy rentals as-is, with or without tenants.
What I hear from Kansas City sellers
- Older houses with deferred maintenance: roofs, old plumbing, and basements that take water.
- Inherited homes where the estate still has to go through the probate division.
- Tired landlords with rentals across the east side and in older suburbs.
Kansas City questions
Do you really buy houses in Kansas City if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Kansas City and its suburbs across Jackson County, Clay County and Platte County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Missouri title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Missouri, and can I still sell?
Missouri foreclosures are almost always non-judicial: the trustee named in the deed of trust sells the house after published notice, without a court case. It's one of the faster processes in the country, so it pays to act early. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Kansas City. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through the Probate Division of the Jackson County Circuit Court (or Clay or Platte County, north of the river). I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work.
How fast can you close on a house in Kansas City?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
