A home investor is a buyer who purchases real estate directly from property owners, often with cash. At Core Properties, we buy houses throughout St. Louis and surrounding areas, providing homeowners with a direct alternative to listing with a real estate agent. We evaluate your property, make a cash offer, and, if you accept, work with you on the closing date. You can sell as-is without making repairs or paying real estate commissions.

Core Properties is a local St. Louis home-buying company that purchases houses directly from homeowners for cash. We buy properties in a variety of conditions, including outdated homes, houses needing major repairs, inherited properties, vacant houses and rental properties. Instead of preparing your home for a traditional listing, you can contact us for a cash offer with no repairs required, no real estate commissions and a flexible closing date.

Selling your house to Core Properties involves three straightforward steps: contact us, receive a cash offer, and close if you decide to accept. We discuss your property, arrange a visit or evaluation, and determine an offer based on its condition, location and other relevant factors. If you accept, we coordinate the closing process and work with your preferred timeline. You do not have to renovate, stage or list your St. Louis house with an agent.

The amount a cash home investor offers depends on your property's location, condition, market value, repair needs and other transaction costs. At Core Properties, we evaluate your St. Louis house based on its individual circumstances before making a cash offer. A direct investor offer may differ from the price you could receive through a traditional listing, so we encourage you to review the actual offer and compare it with your other selling options before deciding.

No, you do not have to make repairs before selling your house to Core Properties. We buy St. Louis houses as-is, including properties that need renovations, updating, cleanup or significant repairs. You do not have to spend money fixing the roof, replacing flooring, updating the kitchen or making the house show-ready before contacting us. We evaluate the property in its current condition and make an offer accordingly.

Core Properties can close on a St. Louis house in as little as 7 days, depending on the property's title and transaction circumstances. We provide a direct cash-buying process without requiring you to wait for a traditional buyer's mortgage approval. If you need additional time to move, coordinate an estate or handle other arrangements, we can work with you on a flexible closing date. The actual timeline depends on the details of your sale.

We do not charge real estate commissions when you sell your house directly to Core Properties. Our cash home-buying process is designed to avoid the agent commissions, repairs and listing preparation associated with a traditional sale. We also advertise that we cover closing costs. We explain the terms of our offer and the closing arrangements so you can understand the proceeds and costs before deciding whether to move forward.
