Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your Kansas City home for cash to Heartland Acquisitions.

The Process

How fast can you close on my house?

As fast as 7 days. We buy with cash — no bank approval, no appraisal contingencies, no lender delays. If you need more time, we work on your schedule. You pick the closing date.

Will you actually buy my house or just list it?

We are direct buyers, not real estate agents. We purchase homes with our own cash, renovate them, and either sell to new homeowners or add to our rental portfolio. No MLS listing, no showings, no open houses.

How do I get started?

Fill out the form on our homepage or call us at (816) 973-5420. We'll ask a few basic questions — address, condition, your situation — and have a cash offer within 24 hours. The first conversation takes about 5 minutes.

What happens if I say no to your offer?

Nothing. Our offers are 100% no-obligation. We give you a fair number, you think about it on your own timeline, and if it's not right — no hard feelings, no follow-up pressure. Period.

Pricing & Fees

Are there any fees or commissions?

Zero. No agent commissions (saving you 5-6%), no closing costs, no hidden fees, no surprises. The cash offer we present is your net number — what you walk away with at closing.

Do you pay fair prices?

We buy below full retail to account for renovation costs and risk, but we eliminate agent commissions, repair costs, carrying costs, and months of uncertainty. Many sellers net a similar amount in a fraction of the time. Our offer is always no-obligation — get the number, compare it, and decide.

How do you determine your offer price?

We analyze recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, assess the property's current condition, estimate renovation costs, and factor in current Kansas City market data. We walk you through every number with full transparency.

Property Condition

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

No. We buy in any condition — foundation issues, roof damage, mold, fire damage, outdated everything, or just cosmetically tired. You don't spend a dime. We handle it all after closing.

Do I need to clean out the house?

No. Take what you want, leave what you don't — furniture, junk, personal items, whatever. We handle the cleanout after closing at no cost to you.

Special Situations

Can you buy my house if it's in probate?

Yes. We work with probate properties regularly and can guide you through the process. We coordinate with the court timeline and make it as simple as possible. Learn more about selling inherited property.

What if I'm going through a divorce?

We work with divorcing couples regularly. A cash sale simplifies the division of assets — close quickly, split proceeds however needed, and move forward. Learn more about selling during divorce.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

We may still be able to help through a short sale negotiation with your lender. Banks often prefer a discounted payoff over a lengthy foreclosure. We handle the negotiation at no cost. Learn more about foreclosure options.

I'm a tired landlord. Will you buy my rental?

Yes — we buy rental properties, even with tenants in place. No need to wait for a lease to expire or deal with eviction. We handle it all. Learn more about selling rental property.
