Sell your St. Louis house for cash
St. Louis is a city of old brick houses and two- and four-family flats, many of them more than a century old. The City is its own county, separate from St. Louis County, which matters for probate and taxes. I'm based in Wichita and buy houses in both.

Selling in St. Louis: 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 St. Louis, the estate is usually handled through the Probate Division of the 22nd Judicial Circuit for the City, or the St. Louis County Probate Court for the county.
What I hear from St. Louis sellers
- Brick homes and multi-family flats with tuckpointing, roof or old-plumbing problems.
- Vacant or inherited houses with code issues from the City.
- Landlords selling small multi-family buildings, with tenants in place.
St. Louis questions
Do you really buy houses in St. Louis if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in St. Louis and its suburbs across St. Louis City and St. Louis 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 St. Louis. 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 22nd Judicial Circuit for the City, or the St. Louis County Probate Court for the county. 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 St. Louis?
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.
