Since 2014 · Crossroads & Lee's Summit · Kansas City natives
Two Kansas City kids started flipping houses in Volker in 2014. A decade later, we still answer the phone.
Guaranteed KC is a local cash home buyer built by two people who grew up here — not a private-equity roll-up, not an out-of-state fund. Today a 14-person team of acquisition specialists, in-house title closers, and licensed contractors closes on Kansas City homes in an average of 11 days, with a 4.9-star average across 612 verified Google reviews and an A+ rating at the BBB of Greater Kansas City.
A letter from the founders
We started in a 900-square-foot Volker bungalow. We never left Kansas City.
In 2014, the two of us bought a foreclosure on a quiet Volker street for $42,000, spent our evenings pulling carpet and replacing a water heater, and sold it four months later to a young couple who still lives there. That single check was small enough that most institutional buyers wouldn't have returned our call — and it was exactly the kind of house we wanted to spend our careers on.
We turned down an offer to franchise the operation in 2017. We turned down a private-equity term sheet in 2021. Kansas City sellers deserve a buyer whose name is on the door, whose capital is local, and who can wire funds on a Tuesday morning without waiting on an out-of-state investment committee. So we stayed.
Eleven years later, the team is fourteen people: acquisition specialists who answer their own phones, in-house title closers who handle the paperwork end-to-end, and licensed contractors who fix what needs fixing before we resell. We're members of the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors and sign the NAR Code of Ethics. Our office is at 1701 Main Street, Suite 400, and our second office is in Lee's Summit.
We're not the right answer for every seller — if you have time to list on the MLS and your house is in good shape, a traditional agent will likely net you more. But if you need to close in 14 to 45 days, on a date you choose, with no showings and no repairs, that's exactly what we do — and we've done it 2,400 times on KC streets from Blue Springs to Basehor.

Reviews · From real Kansas City closings
What Kansas City sellers say after the keys change hands.
These are unedited quotes from people who sold us their home — probate, foreclosure, inherited properties, out-of-state heirs, and job transfers. We attribute every one to a neighborhood and a situation.

Probate sale · 64111
My mother passed in March and the house in Midtown needed a roof, a new furnace, and about $40,000 of work we couldn't afford. They sent a written offer the next morning, closed in 18 days, and mailed the check to me and my sister in Seattle. No showings, no strangers walking through her kitchen. I would do it again.

Out-of-state heir · 64109
I inherited a 4-plex from my uncle near UMKC and lived in Portland. I'd never sold anything sight-unseen and I was terrified of getting taken. Marcus called me on a Saturday, walked me through a sample purchase agreement line by line, and we closed on the date he picked. The check cleared before I got back to the airport.

Job transfer · 64110
We had 30 days to be in Denver for my husband's job and a 100-year-old Westport bungalow that needed everything. We called three cash buyers. Guaranteed KC was the only one who came to the house in person, the only one who gave us a written close date, and the only one who actually hit it. Nine days, keys over, done.

Behind on payments · 64063
Two months behind on the mortgage in Lee's Summit and a foreclosure date set on the calendar. Daniel called me back in 11 minutes, had an offer to me the next day, and we closed 12 days later with enough left over to put a deposit on an apartment and catch up on the car. No judgment, no pressure. They treated me like a neighbor, not a file.
A Kansas City seller shouldn't have to wonder whether the person on the other end of the wire is in another state. We're not. We're at 1701 Main Street, and we sign our name on every contract.
