Sell Your Hoarder House Fast in Kansas City MO

Yes, a homeowner with a house loaded with items and clutter, or even trash, can sell their property in Kansas City and the surrounding areas.

Houses owned by hoarders, people who acquire and keep an excessive amount of items in disorder, are sometimes cited for city or county safety, fire, or health violations.

The citations will need to be addressed during the sales process, but it’s still possible to sell a home even with these violations.

Absolutely! We buy hoarder houses anywhere in Kansas City MO. We also buy houses with excessive clutter anywhere in the surrounding towns and rural areas.

We can close on a property in Kansas City in an average of only 3-30 days: from the time you sign the sales contract until the time escrow closes.

We understand the difficulty in disposing of the goods left in the house. If you don’t want to deal with the monumental task of cleaning out the home, leave it to us.

Simply sign the sales contract, and we’ll do the rest. We can close quickly and do the house cleanout after the sale closes. That’s the fastest way to sell.

You may, however, want to sort through the clutter to retrieve important documents or items that may have been buried over the months or even years. If you want to take time to sort, that’s not a problem for us.

Traditional buyers may have a timeline to close. They may want to move quickly. Clearing out a hoarder’s house typically doesn’t fit into that timeline. We’ll work with you to come up with a mutually agreeable timeline for the closing.

Contact us, and we’ll come out to make an all-cash offer on the property.

If the offer is acceptable, we can sit down and work out a timeline for the house closing when our regular timeline of 3-to-30 days moves too quickly for you.

Yes, absolutely, you can sell your house in as-is condition in Kansas City MO.

Houses filled with clutter often hide significant structural and mechanical problems. This scares many potential buyers away.

Not only do they not know what might be wrong with the house, but also an inspector can’t even enter the property easily to determine if there’s any sort of damage or other problems.

We’ve dealt with this situation before. We can determine most condition issues without removing the clutter.

We’re also not afraid of facing piles of stuff all over a property. We’re interested in the house, not what’s in it.

We’ll make offers on houses with any, or all, of the following condition issues. We’ll even buy vacant land with debris that needs to be cleared.

We buy a variety of properties in the Kansas City and surrounding areas.

We have experience buying hoarder houses. We’ll make a fair offer based on your property and not on the fact the house is filled with clutter.

There are a number of other advantages to selling to us. These include:

The Easy Way:

• Contact us and we’ll visit the hoarder property.
• We’ll make you a cash offer for the house.
• If you accept the offer, we’ll write up a contract specifying what will be done with the clutter in the house. If you don’t want the hassle of cleaning things out, we’ll handle everything. 
• We’ll open escrow. A title search will be done, and then we’ll arrange to handle any citations on the house during this step. 
• We close escrow. You sign the paperwork. We sign the paperwork. We get the keys to the house, and you get cash. 
• That’s it. Simple, easy and fast. There aren’t any real estate commissions with a sale to us, and we’ll even pay your closing costs. That can be a significant savings!

The Hard Way:

• Locate a real estate agent to list the property. Many agents steer clear of hoarder properties. Even if there’s a path to walk through, that’s a safety risk that many agents don’t want to accept as the homeowner’s representative. Some agents will accept the house as a fixer, but they’ll require the homeowner to clear out the items before marketing the property.
• List and market the house. This is difficult since the large amount of clutter doesn’t allow the house to be shown to prospective buyers. Most buyers aren’t interested in hoarder houses, so the listing may sit on the market for a long time – sometimes a year or more. 
• Sign the sales contract and conduct home inspections and appraisals. Inspectors require the house to be cleaned out before they can make a final report to certify what’s working and what isn’t. It’s also impossible to see damage when items are stacked in rooms in the property. 
• The agent will open escrow. Traditional buyers typically need a mortgage and hazard insurance on the property. A hoarder house may be a difficult match for most lenders and insurance companies. Typically, buyers will want sellers to remove any citations on the property before escrow closes. This requires the homeowner to clean out the house and have the local health, safety or fire inspectors do a final review of the property to remove these citations
• Escrow closes and funds are transferred after both buyer and seller sign the legal documents. Real estate agent commissions and closing costs will be deducted from your sale proceeds. 

The Really Hard Way:

Put a sign on the property and hope a buyer sees it and wants to buy the property. This sales technique may work with turnkey homes, but houses filled with clutter scare most potential buyers.

Yes, selling a hoarder house is extremely difficult. Showing the house to prospective buyers can pose a risk to safety when the house has only walkways through the clutter.

Even when the house has wide paths to view the interior, stacks of things everywhere have a negative impact on visitors.

Many buyers aren’t interested in buying a home that needs minor repairs, and a house filled with excessive amounts of clutter can be overwhelming for most people.

When the hoarder house is filled with trash or animals, this makes selling even more difficult.

We’re not overwhelmed when dealing with buying a house with goods from a hoarding situation.

We’ve purchased properties from hoarders or their relatives before, and have assisted in the cleanout. We also have expertise in handling city health, fire, and safety citations.

Once an offer on the property has been accepted, there can be more problems for sellers. Traditional buyers typically want the house broom clean, at a minimum, before escrow closes. We’re not traditional buyers.

We’ll work with you in getting the house cleaned out, or you can walk away and leave the house without doing anything. We’re happy to handle the house cleanout after the sale closes.
