Archway Homes Buys Homes in Uncertain Times

Selling your Home ‘as-is’ Never felt so Good

Today we are in a social and economic climate like none ever experienced before. Our priorities and needs are changing day by day and sometimes hour by hour. At Archway Homes we realize that the almost instant upheaval in our lives may be leading us to make decisions we might not have considered last month or even last week. Archway Homes can help sellers who want or need to sell a home without going through the often drawn out and sometimes painful traditional selling process. Real estate investors Jon and Stacy Bichelmeyer, owners of Archway Homes, buy homes in any condition. They strive to make the difficult process of selling a home as stress-free as possible.

With more years of experience than the majority of home buyers, Archway is in a strong position to weather the pandemic storm and continue to help those wanting to sell properties. “We have been buying and selling homes for over 20 years. We’ve seen some great times, we lived through the real estate crash in 2008-2010 and have come through the other side. We plan to be working with sellers during these uncertain times and after the world and economy is back on its feet again,” said Jon. “I know people are being cautious and think there is no way to sell their home, but we are using smart technology and every health precaution to be able to proceed through these crazy days.”

Jon and Stacy are extremely sensitive to those who are apprehensive about health and safety issues. Jon just bought a home from a couple who are currently quarantined in another location. “Fortunately, simple technology makes it possible for us to buy properties, sign paperwork, and communicate with sellers making this still a stress-free process,” Jon commented. “Don’t worry about the details of the process. New best practices are being created daily to make it easy for you. We know this can be a tough time and people who need to sell a property can still do so.”

Archway Homes has purchased houses in all sorts of situations. Trish Walker was faced with caring for an aging mother who lived alone and no longer possessed the physical ability or financial resources to perform even routine home maintenance duties. “My mother is 91, in a wheelchair, very ill, and we were trying to take care of the house while she was still living there,” Walker explained, “We needed someone to mow the yard and all those kind of things, and we kept the house as long as we could.”

Walker had read an article in the newspaper about Archway Homes, which buys homes “As Is” in any condition: pretty houses needing little to no repair, houses needing everything repaired from leaking roofs to bad foundations, cluttered houses, or houses in need of cosmetic updating. They do so by providing a no-obligation offer within 24 hours, can pay cash and close within three days or on a future date of the seller’s choice, and there are no fees or commissions to pay.

Walker, who is fairly savvy when it comes to comparing information and quotes, reached out to several real estate companies and cash homebuyers. “Jon wasn’t the first one I talked to, but he was definitely the last,” she said. “My son met him first, and said he was very honest about what the house needed and what he could offer. He came back to me and said, ‘You really need to meet this guy. He’s a straight shooter, I got a good feeling from him, and I think he is just right.’”

After contacting Archway Homes, everything else felt like a breath of fresh air. “I called Jon, he came out, and was very personable and not at all like a salesman,” Walker said. “He asked about my mother’s neighbors and her neighborhood. He really cared.”

When it comes to buying and selling homes, Jon is a third-generation real estate investor with roots in the Kansas City community for over 40 years. “I’ve been buying houses, fixing them up and selling to homeowners in the metro area for over 20 years,” he said. “We started doing this long before HGTV inspired the new investors in town. We work hard to make sure it’s a “win, win” for both parties.”

Walker’s experiences with the other companies were disappointing and frustrating.

“We knew that since the house had a ton of work that needed to be done, it might be difficult for a buyer to get a loan,” she said. “But the real estate people made it sound like it would be no problem; that once we had a buyer the cost of the repairs could come out of the proceeds. And with one of the national cash buyer companies, even before they sent me a bid, they sent a packet of stuff I call, ‘marketing babble.’ With all those other people, it just didn’t feel right.”

Those experiences solidified her decision to choose Archway Homes.

“When you’re dealing with your parent, you’re trying to do the best you can for them and have the money from the sale of the house go towards care, if it gets to that point,” shared Walker. “I felt like Jon was giving us the best offer and the best shot at that. It’s a huge load off your mind to have that done and feel like you’ve done it in the right way. Jon took care of everything and made things so easy, all the way to the end.”

According to Stacy, the company’s reputation and extensive experience has given them the ability to alleviate any stress or hassles for the homeowner. “That’s one of the biggest advantages of working with us, and why we say, ‘selling your house as-is never felt this good!”
