In Boone County, including Columbia, the process starts when you contact us by form or phone and we review the property details. If we agree on price we send a short two page purchase agreement, then complete inspections and open title with a licensed Missouri title company. Average closings take about 30 days depending on title search and payoff timing, though we can sometimes close in one to two weeks if the title is clear and payoffs are straightforward. We are investors not agents, provide a written cash offer, and place earnest money in escrow so you control the closing date and face no commissions.
