How the process works
Timeframe: Once we get your information, we’re usually able to make you a straightforward, all-cash offer within 24 hours. From there, we can close in as little as 7 days…or on the date that works best for you.
Step 1: Contact Gateway Home Offers
Call or submit the form and tell us about your St Louis house, your situation, and what you need from the sale.
Step 2: Get a Fair Cash Offer
We’ll review the details, look at homes in your area, and then make you a fair cash offer—often right over the phone.
Step 3: Review and Decide
You can take whatever time you need to compare your options and decide if selling your house fast for cash is right for you.
Step 4: Close and Get Paid
If you accept, we handle the paperwork, work with a local title company, and you pick the closing date. You get your cash and the house is sold.

Selling your St Louis home can be a quick & easy process
Gateway Home Offers buys houses in and around St Louis and the greater St Louis Metro (and other nearby areas, too!) We’re not listing your house—we’re actually the ones buying your home.
Because we pay cash and are buying your St Louis home directly from you, we’re able to close quickly (or on your schedule) without banks slowing things down.
Work with a Local Cash Buyer
No fees – No commissions
Unlike listing a house with a traditional agent, we charge no fees, and no commissions—what we offer is what you put in your pocket at closing.
You never have to worry about surprise costs or closing fees coming out of your pocket when you need to sell your house fast.
You don’t have to worry about getting your house “market-ready” for photos, showings, or inspections.
We want to buy your house as-is—you can leave behind repairs, junk, and cleaning.
No matter how ugly or pretty it is and no matter the location, we buy houses in St Louis and the St Louis Metro in any condition.
From Offer to Close in as Little as 7 Days
You can get rid of the headache of your property fast and stop paying extra utility bills, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and all the other costs that pile up every month.
If you list your house and wait 60–90+ days to close, you have to factor in every month of holding costs while you wait. Selling directly for cash lets you skip that delay.
We make it easy
Don’t worry about fixing anything or deep cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed — big or small.
Is it a complete fixer or a house you’re tired of dealing with? Great! We love projects.
Let us handle the work, save you time, and put more cash in your pocket without the stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “as-is” mean?
We buy your St Louis home as-is, meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, and cleanout after we purchase your home. We factor this into our offer, but it saves you the money, time, and headache of getting your home ready to sell.
What does an “all-cash offer” mean?
“All-cash” means exactly that—all cash for your St Louis home. Because we are local real estate buyers purchasing your house directly, we don’t rely on bank financing like retail buyers do. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the loan falling through or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the amount you’ll receive at closing.
How fast is a fast closing?
After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close with a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are clear.
What if I don’t need a fast closing?
At Gateway Home Offers, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing because you’re making arrangements, exploring future options, or waiting on another step, we’ll schedule the closing on the day that works best for you.
Will I get a lowball offer?
Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer we can. Unlike some distant buyers or big tech giants, we’re transparent about how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re happy to walk you through the numbers so you can see how it works.
Is this even legit?
Yes, it is. The real estate industry is changing, and many St Louis area homeowners are choosing a direct cash sale as the fastest, easiest, and most transparent way to sell. That’s where we come in. We offer an option for homeowners who don’t have the time, money, or desire to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll talk through your situation, make you a clear all-cash offer, and close on the timeline that works for you.
