Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about how Simplihomes buys houses for cash here in the St. Louis area? We've put together answers to some of the things we hear most often. If your question isn't covered, feel free to give us a call!

  • How exactly does the process work when selling my house to Simplihomes?
    We keep it really straightforward: Reach Out: You start by either filling out the short form on our website or calling us directly. Just give us some basic info about your property. Get Your Offer: We’ll quickly review the details. Sometimes we might schedule a brief visit to see the house. Then, we’ll present you with a fair, written, no-obligation cash offer – usually within about 24 hours. Choose Your Closing: If you like the offer, great! We handle the closing process, typically through a reputable local title company. The best part? You pick the closing date that works for you, whether that’s in a week or a bit longer.
  • Are there any hidden fees or commissions I need to worry about?
    Nope, none at all! That’s a major advantage of working with us. When you sell to Simplihomes, you pay zero real estate agent commissions (which usually run 5-6%) and we typically cover all standard closing costs. The cash offer we make is the amount you walk away with, less any outstanding mortgage or agreed-upon liens.
  • What do you mean when you say you buy houses "as-is"?
    “As-is” means exactly what it sounds like – you sell us your house in its current condition, warts and all! You don’t have to lift a finger or spend a dime on: Repairs (big or small) Cleaning or clearing out clutter Painting or curb appeal updates Staging for showings We take care of all that after we buy the property. It saves you time, money, and a whole lot of hassle.
  • If I get an offer, am I locked into selling?
    Absolutely not! Our cash offer comes with zero obligation and zero pressure. You can take the time you need to review it, discuss it with family, or compare it with other options. We want you to feel completely comfortable with your decision.
  • What types of houses and situations do you handle?
    We buy most kinds of residential properties across the St. Louis metro area – St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, and Franklin County. This includes single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, etc. We work with homeowners in all sorts of situations, such as: Facing foreclosure Inherited properties Homes needing extensive repairs Landlords selling rental properties Divorce situations Needing to relocate quickly Downsizing… and more. Check out our special situations page for details!
  • How fast can you actually close the sale?
    Because we use our own cash and don’t rely on slow bank approvals, we can close very quickly – often in as little as 7 to 14 days from when you accept our offer. But speed isn’t always the priority for everyone. If you need more time (e.g., to arrange your next move), we are flexible and can schedule the closing on a date that works best for you.
  • How do I know Simplihomes is a legitimate company?
    Great question! We are a professional, local real estate investment company based right here in the St. Louis area. We’re not a huge national chain; we’re your neighbors focused on providing ethical solutions. We pride ourselves on transparency, using reputable local title companies for closings, and providing clear, written offers. We encourage you to check out our reviews and ask us any questions you have!
  • Is selling to you the same as listing with a Realtor?
    No, it’s quite different. Listing with an agent means prepping the house, holding showings, waiting for offers (which often have financing contingencies), negotiating repairs after inspections, and paying agent commissions. It can take months. Selling to Simplihomes offers: Speed: Close in days, not months. Certainty: Our cash offer is reliable; no financing fall-throughs. Convenience: Sell “as-is” with no repairs or showings. Savings: No commissions or closing costs for you. The trade-off is typically convenience and speed for potentially getting the absolute highest market price possible through a longer, traditional listing process. We provide an alternative for those who value a faster, easier sale.
  • Can I Sell to Simplihomes If I’m Already Working with a Realtor?
    Absolutely! Even if you’re currently working with a Realtor, you can still sell your home to Simplihomes. Our quick cash offer process eliminates the need for a buyer’s agent commission, making the sale fast, simple, and hassle-free.
