We’re Swift Home Buys, a local, family-owned home buyer that has helped St. Louis-area homeowners for over 10 years. We’re not agents. We buy houses directly, with our own funds.
Lemay is an unincorporated community in South County, sitting along the Mississippi River and the River des Peres, just north of Jefferson Barracks. It isn’t its own city, so St. Louis County handles the permits and rules. The houses here are mostly smaller brick homes, bungalows, and older frame houses on modest lots, many of them owned by the same families for generations.
Older Lemay homes often need the kind of work that’s hard to finance: foundation cracks, tuckpointing, sewer lateral problems, old electrical, and roofs at the end of their life. Buyers using FHA or VA loans may not be able to close on a house until those issues are fixed. We buy as-is with our own funds, so the condition of the house doesn’t hold up the sale.
We also buy Lemay rentals with tenants in place, and inherited houses that nobody in the family wants to manage. If you live out of town and the house is sitting empty, we can handle most of the sale with a single visit.
A note on inspections: occupancy-inspection rules vary across St. Louis County, so check with the county about what applies to your sale. You won’t be making repairs to sell to us either way.
Our offers are below full retail value, because we take on the repairs and the risk. We’ll always be upfront about that, and whether you say yes is 100% your decision. See the full process on our How It Works page and compare options on our Compare page.
Here’s the truth: a lot of the “we buy houses” signs on South County telephone poles belong to wholesalers. They sign a contract on your house, then try to sell that contract to an actual buyer. 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 explains what to look for.
Nearby, we also buy houses in Affton, Mehlville, Oakville, and across St. Louis County.


This Lemay house was the first one we bought as Swift Home Buys. It still had belongings inside, and it was dated from top to bottom, from the kitchen to the bathrooms.
After we bought it in 2023, it got a major overhaul: new flooring, a new kitchen, new bathrooms and a new roof.
