Selling a House in Kirkwood: Old Homes and City Rules
Kirkwood has a little of everything: older Victorian and Craftsman homes near downtown, brick bungalows on tree-lined side streets, and ranches and split-levels farther out.
Older Kirkwood homes and what they need
A lot of Kirkwood houses come up for sale after decades with one family. They’re well built, and they’re often behind on the expensive stuff: original electrical, old galvanized plumbing, a roof near the end of its life, or a basement that takes on water in a hard rain. On the open market, every one of those shows up on the buyer’s inspection report and turns into a negotiation. When you sell to us, you don’t fix any of it.
Kirkwood occupancy inspections
Kirkwood requires an occupancy permit and inspection when a house is sold, and the city schedules it through its Building Division. If you’re worried about what that inspection might turn up, talk to us before you start fixing things. We buy houses as-is, and we’ll walk you through how the sale works for your address.
Sell My House Fast in Kirkwood: What to Expect
- One visit. We come out once to see the house and meet you. No open houses and no strangers on a Saturday.
- A fair cash offer, explained. We look at the location, the repairs, the condition, and recent sales of similar Kirkwood homes, and we show you how we got to our number.
- Your closing date. As little as 7 days, or later if you need time to move or settle an estate.
- Nothing to clean out first. You don’t have to empty every closet before you sell. Sellers have left unwanted items behind instead of hauling everything out.
Our offers are below full retail value, because we take on the repairs and the risk, and we’ll always be upfront about that. If your house is updated and you have time to wait, listing with a good agent may get you more, and we’ll tell you so. You can see the whole process on our How It Works page and compare your options on our Compare page.
Cash Home Buyers in Kirkwood: Ask One Question First
Here’s the truth about many of the “we buy houses” mailers in Kirkwood: the company behind them often doesn’t buy houses. It’s a wholesaler that puts your home under contract and then tries to sell that contract to someone else. Before you sign anything, ask: “Are you buying my house, or assigning the contract?” We buy with our own funds and close through a title company. Our article Don’t Be Fooled by Advertising covers the other warning signs.
We also buy houses across St. Louis County, including nearby Webster Groves, Sunset Hills, and Ballwin.
A House We Bought in Kirkwood
- Bought
- October 2025
- Closed
- In about a month
- Condition
- Well kept, but original throughout
An older couple had lived here and taken good care of the house. Almost nothing had changed since it was built, right down to the original carpet.
We bought it as-is in October 2025 and closed in about a month. After closing, we emptied the house and pulled up the old carpet, and found hardwood floors underneath.

Selling a House in Kirkwood: Your Questions
Do you buy houses in Kirkwood, MO?
Yes. We buy houses all over Kirkwood and the 63122 ZIP code, from older homes near downtown to ranches and split-levels, in any condition.
How fast can I sell my house in Kirkwood?
We can close in as little as 7 days. If you need more time, you pick a later closing date.
Does Kirkwood require an inspection when I sell?
Yes. Kirkwood requires an occupancy permit and inspection for home sales, scheduled through the city’s Building Division. We buy as-is, so you don’t make repairs before selling to us. Check with the city for current fees and timing.
Will you buy an older Kirkwood home that needs a lot of work?
Yes. Old wiring, plumbing, roofs, foundations, water in the basement, or just a lot of cleanup. We buy the house exactly as it stands.
Do I pay commissions or closing costs?
No. You won’t pay real estate commissions, and we cover the closing costs. Any mortgage or liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Can you buy an inherited house in probate?
Often, yes. The personal representative usually needs to be appointed by the St. Louis County probate court before the house can be sold. Our guide to selling an inherited home in probate explains the steps. This isn’t legal advice, so talk with a probate attorney about your situation.
How do you decide your offer?
We’re an open book. We look at the location, the repairs needed, the condition, and recent sales of comparable Kirkwood homes, and we explain exactly how we got to our number.
