A local Missouri buyer, not a national call center
Many "we buy houses" websites are run by out-of-state companies that sell your information to whoever pays the most. When you contact Nahom Buys Homes, you're talking to the local company that will actually make the offer.
Meet Nahom, your St. Louis cash home buyer
When you reach out, my team gets you to me quickly. I'm the person who makes your offer and signs at closing.
I started buying houses in Missouri in 2019 because I kept meeting people stuck with a property that had become a burden: an inherited home two states away, a rental that stopped making sense, a house that needed more work than the owner could afford.
The traditional route doesn't serve those people well. Listing means repairs, showings, commissions and months of waiting on a buyer's loan to go through. Sometimes that's the right call. Often it isn't.
Since then we've bought more than 150 properties. My job hasn't changed. I give you a clear number, show you how I got to it, and let you decide. If listing with an agent would put more money in your pocket, I'll tell you that too. I'd rather be straight with you than talk you into something.
Selling your house for cash vs. listing with an agent
There's no right or wrong answer. It depends on your house, your timeline and what you need. Here's an honest side-by-side look.
| Nahom Buys Homes | Listing With an Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to get an offer | Within 24 hours | Weeks to months |
| Time to close | As fast as 7 days | 30 to 90+ days |
| Repairs before selling | None, we buy as-is | Usually expected |
| Agent commissions | $0 | Commonly 5% to 6% |
| Closing costs | We cover standard costs | Seller pays their share |
| Showings and open houses | None | Many |
| Risk of the deal falling through | No buyer loan to fail | Buyer financing can fall apart |
| Sale price | Below full retail value | Usually higher, if the house is in good shape |
A cash sale usually makes sense when
- The house needs repairs you can't or don't want to pay for
- You're up against a deadline: foreclosure, a move, a court date
- The house is inherited, vacant or far away from you
- There are tenants, liens or back taxes involved
- You value a guaranteed date and zero hassle over top dollar
Listing with an agent is usually better when
- The house is updated and move-in ready
- You have a few months and can handle showings
- Getting the highest possible price matters most
If that's you, we'll tell you so on the first call.

Questions about selling your house for cash
How fast can I sell my house for cash in St. Louis or Kansas City?
Most sellers get a cash offer within 24 hours. If the title is clear, we can usually close in 7 to 14 days. If you need more time to move, you pick a later closing date. Estates, liens and title problems can add time, and we'll give you a realistic date upfront.
Do you buy houses that need major repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, including homes with foundation problems, roof leaks, fire or water damage, old wiring, code violations, or a lot of stuff left inside. You don't need to fix or clean anything.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no fees. We cover the standard closing costs. The number in your written offer is the price we pay for the house. Any mortgage, liens or back taxes are paid off from that amount at closing, and the rest goes to you.
Do you buy houses outside St. Louis and Kansas City?
Yes. St. Louis is our home market and Kansas City is our second, but we buy houses across Missouri. Call or text (314) 669-2828 and ask about your area.
Can you buy my house if I'm facing foreclosure in Missouri?
Often, yes, if there's enough time before the sale date. Most Missouri foreclosures are non-judicial, which means they don't go through a court and can move quickly once the lender starts. Selling before the sale date pays off the loan and can save your credit from a completed foreclosure. The sooner you call, the more options you have.
Can you buy an inherited house or a house in probate?
Yes. We regularly buy inherited homes and work with the personal representative of the estate and their probate attorney. We can sign a contract now and close when the court gives the go-ahead. If you live out of state, most of the paperwork can be signed remotely.
What if tenants are living in the property?
We can buy rental properties with tenants in place, including tenants who are behind on rent. You don't need to evict anyone before you sell.
Do I need to clean out the house before I sell?
No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest. We handle the clean out after closing.
Will Nahom Buys Homes be the one buying my house?
In most cases we buy the house ourselves. On some properties we partner with or assign our contract to another local investor. If that's the plan, we tell you before you sign, and your price and closing date in the contract don't change.
Is Nahom Buys Homes a real estate agent?
No. We're a real estate investment company. We buy houses directly from owners and don't list houses on the MLS. We always recommend you talk with a real estate attorney or advisor if you have questions about your options.
Is there any obligation once I ask for an offer?
None. The offer is free. You can accept it, turn it down, or use it to compare against listing with an agent.
