Buying Kansas City houses directly since 2016
Major repairs and renovations
Roof, foundation, HVAC, clean-out, dated interiors, unfinished projects, or code issues can all be reviewed as part of a direct as-is offer.
ACE buys homes across the metro exactly as they sit. We explain what repairs mean for the offer without asking you to spend money first.
As-is repair offer
Tell us what is broken, unfinished, or uncertain. We will review the house as-is and explain how repairs affect the offer before you spend money on contractors.
Get a no-pressure consultation
No contractor appointments required before you reach out.
We break down the major repair items, from roof replacements to structural piers, so you know where the numbers come from. Expect transparent estimates, not vague discounts. If you already have contractor quotes, send them over and we will review them together.
Instead of coordinating multiple trades, you can focus on your next home or life event. We handle clean-out crews, dumpster rentals, and permit follow-ups. Visit the areas page to see where we buy, and check cash vs payment takeover options if you want to compare more than one path.
We have renovated everything from 1920s bungalows to newer homes that suffered water damage. The process is calm, documented, and designed to keep you in control.
Step 1
A quick walkthrough (or video) helps us understand the full repair list. You do not need to hide problems; we have likely seen worse.
Step 2
We outline a cash offer plus any flexible option, both adjusted for renovation costs. You see the math behind each option.
Step 3
Need a fast close before winter? Prefer to wait until a new home is lined up? We tailor closing dates and possession to your plans.
Title typically requires payoff statements, insurance claims (if any), and proof that utilities are current. We help gather everything. Cash deals close in about two to three weeks once title clears. Creative agreements may take a bit longer, but they allow you to capture more value while we fund repairs.
Still deciding whether to repair first? Read our major repairs vs selling as-is guide. If the problem is structural, the foundation problems guide explains how to compare bids against an as-is sale. If the issue started with a leak, frozen pipe, basement water, or mold concern, the water damage guide explains how cleanup, insurance, and as-is timing fit together. If smoke, soot, board-up, or an insurance claim is part of the issue, the fire damage guide gives you a repair-versus-as-is comparison. If the repair pressure is tied to a city notice, the code violations guide explains how to compare deadlines, liens, vacancy risk, and as-is terms.
Expect regular updates, especially if contractors need access or inspectors want additional documentation. You will always know the status of your sale, and you can reach us by phone, text, or the contact page at any point.
No. We buy properties as-is. Highlight outstanding repairs and any bids you have gathered so we can factor them into the offer.
Yes. We work with inspectors and licensed contractors to close out permits or provide escrow letters when required.
We can take over mid-project. We will review your contracts, confirm deposits, and either continue with the same crew or bring our own.
If you need extra time, we can structure a post-closing agreement or delayed possession so you are not moving in the middle of construction.
Yes. We coordinate with renters respectfully, document the condition, and can keep leases in place until improvements are finished.
Local decision map
Repair scope, city code items, county title timing, and neighborhood buyer expectations all affect the sale path. Use these local pages before deciding whether to fix, list, or sell as-is.
City and neighborhood pages help narrow the title, county, repair, and closing details that affect your decision.
