Recent houses we bought in Independence

• An inherited home in 2025. Two heirs were settling a parent’s estate. We bought the house as-is and closed at a local title company in late December.
• A house with two owners on title in 2026. A family member was still on the deed. We worked with the title company to get the right signatures and a quit claim deed, moved the closing date once to make it work, and closed in October.
• A side-by-side duplex in 2025. We bought it from an investor with seller financing for part of the price, so the seller gets a monthly payment instead of one lump sum.

Why Independence homeowners call us

• Older houses. Much of Independence was built in the 1940s–60s. Original electrical, sewer lines, foundations and roofs can stall a traditional sale. We buy as-is.
• Inherited or estate houses that nobody wants to clean out or repair.
• Rentals with tenants in place, including duplexes.
• A deadline: a move, a divorce, or payments that have fallen behind.

How it works

1. Tell us about the house. The form takes about a minute, or call us.
2. We walk it with you. One visit, no staging, no cleaning.
3. Written cash offer, usually within about 24 hours.
4. Close at a local title company on the date you pick. We usually cover the closing costs.

Cash sale vs. listing

If your house is updated and you have time, listing with an agent will usually net you more. Selling to us makes sense when the house needs real work, when there’s a title or estate issue to untangle, or when you need a certain date. We’ll tell you honestly which fits.

Who you’re working with

KC Home Offers is a family-run company based in Lee’s Summit and led by Ashley Abbott, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant. Ashley has bought about 100 houses and rental units around Kansas City and keeps most of them as long-term rentals, so a lot of the houses we buy stay in the neighborhood as rentals we own.

Questions Independence sellers ask

Do you buy houses in Independence, MO?

Yes. Independence is one of the areas we buy in most, from the neighborhoods around the Square and Englewood to the 64055, 64056 and 64057 ZIP codes.

Can you buy an inherited house before probate is finished?

We can sign a contract with the person who has authority to sell and close once the estate paperwork is in place. Jackson County probate runs through the Jackson County Circuit Court. Your attorney can tell you whether a small-estate affidavit, a beneficiary deed or full probate applies.

What if someone else is still on the title?

Everyone on title has to agree to the sale. That’s common with ex-spouses, siblings and relatives. We work with the title company to get each person’s signature, or a quit claim deed, before closing.

Do you buy duplexes and rentals with tenants?

Yes. We buy single-family homes and 2–4 unit properties in Independence, with or without tenants.

Are there fees or commissions?

No agent commissions and no fees from us. We usually pay the closing costs.

Are you real estate agents?

No. KC Home Offers is a direct buyer, not a brokerage. We don’t list your house.
