St. Louis County, Missouri — the county's cities and unincorporated areas (the City of St. Louis is a separate jurisdiction).
St. Louis County is a patchwork of about ninety municipalities, each with its own occupancy rules and inspectors. That is exactly why many county sellers skip the retail route: a cash buyer handles the municipal inspection and repairs instead of you.
Instead of calling buyer after buyer, send one request. Cash buyers who work in St. Louis County compete for the house, and we match you with the one that fits your price and your timeline.

Common situations in St. Louis County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Estates are filed in the St. Louis County Probate Court in Clayton. The personal representative may need court authority to sell, depending on the type of administration.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Missouri foreclosures here are mostly trustee's sales held at the St. Louis County courthouse after a few weeks of published notice — the window to act is short. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The St. Louis County Collector of Revenue holds an annual land tax sale for parcels with delinquent taxes.

Many St. Louis County municipalities require an occupancy or point-of-sale inspection before a house changes hands; unincorporated areas are handled by the county. A cash buyer can take on the inspection list.

Evictions (rent-and-possession and unlawful detainer cases) are filed in the St. Louis County Circuit Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in St. Louis County: questions
My St. Louis County city requires an occupancy inspection. Do I have to make the repairs before selling?
Not always. Many municipalities let a buyer take responsibility for the repairs in writing. Cash buyers who work in the county know each city's process and can close without you fixing the list.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in St. Louis County?
Missouri sales close through a title company, which pays the loan, the taxes and any liens from the proceeds. Once you accept an offer, most St. Louis County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
