Why Hearthstone Properties KC
We Show You the Options. You Decide What Fits.

Honest Guidance, Always
We tell you what your home is actually worth and explain every option clearly — even if that means recommending a path that doesn’t involve us.
You Stay in Control
You set the timeline. You choose your closing date. You decide which path — cash offer or full-market listing — fits your life best.
No Fees, No Surprises
On cash purchases, we cover closing costs, pay zero commissions, and require no repairs. The offer you receive is the amount you walk away with.

About Hearthstone Properties KC
Built on Honesty. Grounded in Kansas City.
I started Hearthstone Properties KC because too many Kansas City homeowners were getting taken advantage of at the worst possible time — lowball offers, hidden fees, and zero explanation of their real options. I built this company to fix that.
Every seller I work with gets an honest look at their options, a fair number, and a straight answer about which path actually makes the most sense — even if that means I am not the right buyer for their house.
I am a licensed Kansas REALTOR®, which means I can buy your house directly for cash or list it on the open market if that would net you more. Most cash buyers cannot offer both. I can, and I will tell you honestly which one makes more sense.

- 30+ local KC investment deals before founding Hearthstone
- Locally owned — no out-of-state investors, no corporate playbook
I have been in Kansas City business for over 22 years. I did not get into real estate on a whim — I got into it because I saw a better way to serve the people in this city. When you call, you are talking to me directly.
When you call Hearthstone, you are talking to me — not a call center, not an acquisition manager. I have done the math on 30+ local deals. I know what homes are actually worth in this market. And I will tell you honestly if selling to me makes sense or if another path is better for your situation.

MORE THAN A CASH OFFER
Practical Help Beyond the Sale
Selling a house is rarely just about the house. Sometimes you need flexibility, extra help, or the right local connections to make the process easier. When it makes sense, we do more than make an offer.

Take what matters to you. If there are items left behind, we can often help coordinate donation, haul-off, or disposal.

Need to close fast, or need more time? We work with sellers on timelines that fit real life.
Sell As-Is
No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. We buy houses in their current condition.

Common Questions
Answers to What Sellers Ask Most
Is your cash offer really fair?
Our offers are based on current market data — what comparable homes are actually selling for in your neighborhood — minus the cost of repairs and the discount that makes the deal work for us as investors. We’ll walk you through exactly how we arrived at the number. You’re always free to get a second opinion, and we genuinely encourage it.
Do I have to sell to you? What if I just want advice?
Absolutely not. Many homeowners come to us just to understand their options — and that’s completely fine. We’ll give you an honest picture of what your home is worth, what a cash offer might look like, and what you might net on the open market. If you decide to list with another agent or do nothing at all, we won’t pressure you.
How do I know I can trust you?
That’s exactly the right question. Hearthstone Properties KC is led by Chris Hudson, a licensed Kansas REALTOR® — which means we’re held to a professional code of ethics and regulated by the state. You can verify our license through the Kansas Real Estate Commission. Beyond licensing, every offer is in writing, every cost is explained before you sign anything, and there is zero pressure to accept. We’re also happy to provide references from past clients.
How quickly can you really close?
On cash purchases, we can typically close in 7 to 14 days once the contract is signed. The exact timeline depends on the title search and any outstanding liens or issues. If you need more time — say, 30 or 60 days — we can work with that too. You set the closing date.
What if my home needs a lot of repairs?
That’s exactly the kind of situation we specialize in. We buy homes in any condition — foundation issues, fire or water damage, outdated systems, hoarding situations. You don’t have to fix a thing. Leave behind what you don’t want and we handle the rest.
Are there any fees or commissions on a cash sale?
Zero commissions and zero closing costs on our direct cash purchases. The offer amount is what you walk away with. No hidden deductions at the table.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the greater Kansas City metro area on both the Missouri and Kansas sides — including Kansas City proper, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, and many more communities. See our full area list above, or call us if you’re unsure whether we cover your location.
How do you determine what my home is worth?
We look at comparable sales in your specific neighborhood — homes that have actually closed recently, not just list prices. Then we factor in the condition of the property, what repairs are likely needed, and the cost of carrying the home through the process. We walk you through the numbers so you can see exactly how we got there. We want you to understand the offer, not just accept it.
What options do I have besides a direct cash sale?
A direct sale is one option, not the only one. Depending on the condition of your home and your timeline, it might make more sense to list with an agent, make some repairs first and then sell, or rent the property out. We are a licensed REALTOR and can help you think through all of those paths honestly. If listing makes more sense for your situation, we will tell you that.
What if the house is going through probate? Can you still buy it?
Yes. We work with estate properties in various stages of the process. The timeline depends on where things stand legally, but we can often structure a purchase that works within the probate timeline. The best first step is a conversation about where things are. You can also read more on our probate and estate sale page.
Can you buy my house if I inherited it and there are multiple heirs?
Yes, though it does add some coordination to the process. All parties with ownership interest will need to agree to the sale. We have worked through these situations before — sometimes it is straightforward, sometimes it takes a little more time. The key is getting everyone on the same page early. See our inherited property page for more context.
Can you buy my house during a divorce?
Yes. We have worked with sellers in this situation many times. In most cases, both parties need to agree to the sale, and we try to make that process as simple and low-friction as possible. A direct sale can be one of the cleaner ways to resolve the property side of a separation without dragging things out. See our divorce sale page for more detail.
I'm behind on payments but haven't received a foreclosure notice yet. What should I do?
The earlier you look at your options, the more choices you have. If there is still equity in the home and enough time to close before things escalate, a direct sale may help you avoid foreclosure entirely and protect your credit. Waiting tends to narrow the options. If you are in this situation, reach out now — even just to understand where things stand. See our foreclosure options page.
Do you buy houses that have tenants in them?
Yes. We buy occupied rental properties. You do not need to evict tenants before we close. We will talk through the tenancy situation as part of our assessment, but it is not a dealbreaker. If you are a landlord looking to exit the rental business, see our rental property page.
What if there are liens or title issues on the property?
This is more common than most people expect, and it is usually solvable. Liens often get paid from the proceeds of the sale at closing. Title issues can sometimes be cleared up with the right title company. We work through these situations regularly. It is worth having a conversation before assuming the house cannot be sold — it usually can be.
Can I stay in the house after closing if I need more time to move?
In many cases, yes. A leaseback or post-closing occupancy arrangement can be structured as part of the deal so you have the time you need to move without feeling rushed. Just bring it up during our initial conversation and we can talk through what that looks like.
What if the house has been vacant for a long time or has deferred maintenance?
That is exactly the kind of property we work with. Vacant homes, heavily deferred maintenance, outdated systems — none of that disqualifies a property. We assess things as-is and make an offer based on the actual condition. You do not need to bring the house up to any standard before talking to us.
