Q: Who are you?
A: We are Alexis and Jalon. An awesome house flipping couple with a major passion for fixing and flipping Missouri homes. Our passion for real estate came from an artistic background, watching HGTV shows, and drooling over interior decorating. Our core values are nothing short of being giving, charitable, and honest!

Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question! We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are local Missouri cash home buyers: that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves. This process allows you to sell your home quicker and get cash in your hands!
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash. We close very quickly (no waiting for financing), no time or effort, no expense is required on your part to fix up the property, and you avoid paying agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand!
Q:How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then they take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can afford to wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the ones buying the house from you and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).
Q:Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We won’t hassle you, we won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision, and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
Q: What does “all-cash offer” mean?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We won’t hassle you, we won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision, and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
Q: How “fast” is a “fast closing”?
A: After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair cash offer in as little as 24 hours. After that, we can close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 14 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!
Q: What if I don’t need a “fast closing?”
A: At Ruby Rush Home Buyers, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc – we can schedule the closing on the day that works best for you!
Q: Will I get a low-ball offer? 
A: Our goal is to provide you with the most fair offer possible. Unlike other buyers or the big tech giants, we’re transparent with how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process and happy to walk you through how it works.
Q: Is this even legit?
A: Yes – we are Legit! The real estate industry is rapidly changing, and thousands of Americans are exploring their options when it comes to selling their house the fastest, easiest, and most transparent way. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for those who may not have the time or ability to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll work with you to assess your situation, make you a transparent all-cash offer and close on your timeline.
