Zero. No agent commissions (which typically run 5–6% of the sale price), no closing costs, no hidden fees of any kind. The number we offer is the exact number you walk away with at closing.
We base our offer on the property's after-repair value in the current Monroe County market, minus estimated renovation costs and our target margin. Our offer won't match full retail — but when you subtract agent commissions, repair costs, closing costs, and months of carrying costs from a traditional sale, most sellers net more with us.

Local Expertise
Columbia is Monroe County's largest city — a growing suburban community south of St. Louis with strong residential demand and some of the fastest-rising home values in the Metro East region. Columbia has attracted younger families relocating from St. Louis City and County, drawn by highly-rated schools, newer housing stock, and small-town character with direct access to I-255. We buy throughout Columbia, including homes near the IL-3 corridor, downtown Columbia, and established neighborhoods throughout Monroe County townships. Columbia homes in good condition sell quickly on the open market; the challenge is that dated or deferred-maintenance properties face a steeper discount than sellers often expect — a cash offer eliminates that guesswork.
Columbia sellers who contact us are typically managing inherited properties tied up in Monroe County estates, rental properties that have aged out of the owner's plans, or homes needing more updating than they want to manage before listing. The Columbia market has appreciated significantly — which means sellers sometimes overestimate what a dated home actually nets after repairs, commissions, and carrying costs. We give a real number fast, with no contingencies, and close on your schedule.
