Local real estate firm helps seller navigate financial, construction obstacles

Does this scenario sound familiar? You get an urge to make a repair or update around your home — stripping and refinishing your floors, for example, repainting several rooms or installing new tile. Fueled by a burst of energy, you dive into the project. But before it’s complete, you quickly lose steam or you run into an unexpected obstacle. And soon enough, the half-finished project area becomes just another thing to continually delay on your to-do list.

You’re not alone! Home improvements can be unexpectedly challenging. But what happens when you’re ready to sell your home and you’re suddenly faced with a number of partially completed DIY projects? That’s when you call House Buyers KC.

A Waldo homeowner recently did just that. The homeowner had a fairly fast timeline to sell so that he could move into a new home. Yet his current home included several partially completed improvement projects. Add to that some debt-related financial complications, and the homeowner was at a loss for how to proceed.

Luckily, the homeowner found House Buyers KC with an online search. After he reached out to the team, they scheduled an initial consultation. During the in-person conversation, the House Buyers KC team learns more about the seller and any possible challenges they might be facing.

During the consultation, House Buyers KC also conducts a thorough evaluation of the property, identifying any repairs or updates that need to be made before the home is listed. And for prospective sellers who may have anxiety about their home’s condition, the House Buyers KC team is experienced in working with construction issues large and small.

Construction-related difficulties aren’t the only potential source of anxiety when selling a home. Many homeowners, including the aforementioned client in Waldo, may also be dealing with financial-related burdens. But just as House Buyers KC can take charge of home updates and repairs, they can also help clients successfully navigate any financial hurdles.

Case in point? The House Buyers KC team not only helped the Waldo homeowner quickly sell his home, but also helped him resolve his debt (with some money to spare). And when that same homeowner needed some additional assistance, the House Buyers KC team didn’t hesitate to jump in.

“We helped arrange an on-site Dumpster during the move-out process and also let him stay a couple of extra days in the home after it was sold so he could have more time to complete his move,” said Kyle Walchshauser, sales acquisition.

This sort of unwavering commitment to each client, as well as a willingness to work with sellers in challenging situations, continues to be a big hit with sellers throughout the Kansas City area. As a result, the House Buyers KC team has steadily grown since the end of 2016, starting with Katie Mason, office admin, who, like other House Buyers KC team members, juggles a variety of responsibilities and thrives in the fast-paced environment.

Walchshauser joined House Buyers KC last February and continues to make an immediate and memorable impact on the company’s clients. The House Buyers KC team also includes Brent Smith, a project manager who joined the company on May 1. Tom Bell, sales acquisition, became a part of the team in August to professionally pursue a longtime interest in real estate investment.

Despite the flurry of growth, Lower and his team have maintained a laser focus on delivering an exceptional client experience, which includes working closely with each client to understand their challenges and concerns, then doing what they can to alleviate them.

“It’s about helping people, doing something we love and making a difference,” said Chad Lower, manager.

That approach not only delivers successful experiences to sellers, but also leaves a lasting impact.

“It’s nice to work with people with hearts and souls who care about my home,” said Denise Canon, a recent House Buyers KC client. “We had talked to other companies before House Buyers KC, but they were all transactional. They don’t have the emotion and heart of House Buyers KC.”
