We Buy Houses in Maplewood, MO. Bungalows, Victorians and Townhomes Welcome

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Maplewood: Missouri has no state transfer tax.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. A real estate attorney licensed in Missouri can confirm which disclosures apply.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and Missouri law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Missouri should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Missouri, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or sale process, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Missouri can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Missouri page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. Tell us who owns that land and we can respond on whether an offer fits.

Yes for owner-occupied single-family homes, according to the city's housing page: the home is inspected at a change of ownership, booked and paid for by the owner or property manager. Rules and fees move, so verify with City Hall, 314-645-3600.

Maplewood's permit page says newcomers must hold an occupancy permit, which comes only after the property passes inspection. At Eagle, we can usually time a closing around that step, and City Hall can walk you through today's process.

Start with the offer, then subtract your mortgage payoff, back taxes or other debts, and any transfer tax. Agents in a listing usually take 5% to 6%; a direct sale takes none. Send the address and we can draft the numbers, net proceeds included, so you can compare.

Cleaning and photos help a listing, yet closing still waits on a buyer's loan and inspection. Selling to us means no showings and no lender delays. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

It can be, if speed, heavy repairs or a stressful situation weigh more for you than top dollar. Listings may net more but cost time. Lay the cash offer next to your expected listing net after commission, repairs and carrying costs.

Check whether the buyer buys directly or may assign the contract, require the offer in writing, and read reviews. At Eagle, an assignment is disclosed in the agreement. Get at least one competing offer before committing.

At usually 5% to 6%, a $300,000 sale means roughly $15,000 to $18,000 in commission, before repairs and other closing costs. Eagle charges no agent commission on a direct purchase. Which route nets more depends on the house, so price both.

Often. The lease, and the renters' cooperation, set the pace. Pass along the rent, lease end date and whether we can walk through.

Typically every person on the deed has to agree and sign; the exact set depends on how title is recorded. We can speak with each relative and work toward a schedule all accept. A Missouri property attorney can confirm who signs.

No repairs are required first. A leaky roof, aging wiring or a worn kitchen are things we price in, not conditions you must cure. Whether we can make an offer depends on the house, so photos and the address are the quickest route to a clear answer.

Frequently. Documents can travel by mail or screen, and some owners drop in at a closing provider's office near home. Depending on the state, that provider is a licensed title or escrow company, or a closing attorney. One call can settle the route.
