Website: STLHomeBuyersGroup.com
These disclosures provide important information about STLHomebuyersGroup.com and transactions involving STL Home Buyers Group ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").
Please review any applicable purchase agreement and transaction documents carefully before signing.
These Website disclosures provide general information only. They do not replace any disclosure, notice, contract provision, cancellation right, or other document required for a particular real estate transaction.
1. We Are a Real Estate Investment Company
STLHomebuyersGroup.com is operated by STL Home Buyers Group. STL Home Buyers Group is a real estate investment business that evaluates residential properties for possible purchase for its own investment purposes.
Depending on the property and our plans, a property we purchase may later be:
- Renovated and resold
- Held as a rental
- Resold without substantial renovation
- Transferred to an affiliated or related entity
- Used in another lawful investment strategy
Not every property will be a fit for us. Submitting information through this Website does not guarantee that we will make an offer or purchase the property.
2. We Are Acting as a Buyer, Not as Your Agent
When evaluating or purchasing a property for our own account, STL Home Buyers Group is acting in its own business and investment interests as a prospective buyer.
We are not acting as the property owner's:
- Real estate agent or broker
- Attorney
- Appraiser
- Accountant
- Tax advisor
- Financial advisor
- Fiduciary
We do not have a duty to obtain the highest possible price for your property, market the property to other buyers, obtain competing offers for you, or determine which selling option is best for you.
You are free to consult an independent real estate professional, attorney, appraiser, accountant, tax professional, or other qualified advisor before entering into an agreement.
3. Investor Offers May Be Lower Than a Traditional Sale Price
A direct investor offer may be lower than an amount a property could potentially achieve through a successful traditional market sale.
When deciding whether to make an offer and what amount to offer, we may consider factors such as:
- Property location
- Current property condition
- Property characteristics
- Comparable property information
- Estimated after-repair value
- Anticipated repairs and improvements
- Holding expenses
- Transaction expenses
- Financing expenses
- Market conditions
- Property-specific risks
- Expected investment return
- Our current investment criteria
We do not represent that an offer from us is:
- Fair market value
- Appraised value
- The property's highest possible value
- The highest available offer
- The amount another purchaser may be willing to pay
There is no single formula or fixed percentage that applies to every property. Property owners should consider the proposed price, contract terms, property condition, available alternatives, and their individual priorities when deciding whether to accept an offer.
4. Direct Sale and Traditional Listing Options Are Different
Selling directly to an investor and selling through the traditional market involve different considerations.
A traditional sale may provide an opportunity to obtain a higher selling price, but may also involve:
- Property preparation
- Repairs or updates
- Marketing
- Public showings
- Negotiations
- Brokerage compensation
- Inspections
- Buyer financing
- Contingencies
- Other transaction requirements
A direct sale involves a different process, pricing structure, and set of transaction terms. Neither option is automatically better for every property owner. Property owners should compare their available options before deciding how to sell.
5. No Guarantee of an Offer or Purchase
Submitting property information does not guarantee:
- An offer
- A particular offer amount
- Acceptance of the property
- A purchase
- A closing
- A particular closing date
- A particular transaction timeline
- A particular transaction outcome
We may determine that a property does not fit our current investment criteria. Any preliminary discussion, estimate, valuation, or proposed number is subject to additional evaluation unless and until the parties enter into an applicable written agreement.
6. No Guaranteed Timeline
The timing of a real estate transaction can depend on circumstances such as:
- Title review
- Ownership
- Liens
- Probate or estate matters
- Municipal requirements
- Property condition
- Occupancy
- Financing
- Inspections or due diligence
- Closing-provider availability
- Required documentation
- Other property-specific matters
We do not guarantee that an offer, purchase, or closing will occur within any particular number of days. If a transaction proceeds, the applicable written purchase agreement will identify the agreed transaction terms, including the proposed closing date.
7. Selling a Property As-Is
We may consider properties in their current condition.
When we use phrases such as "as-is" or "sell your house as-is," we generally mean that a property owner does not need to renovate or update the property simply to ask us to evaluate it.
Selling as-is does not mean that:
- We are required to purchase every property
- Every property condition will automatically be accepted
- Legal disclosure requirements disappear
- Title issues are automatically resolved
- Municipal issues are automatically resolved
- All transaction costs are automatically paid by us
- Personal property may always remain at the property
- A seller is relieved of obligations imposed by applicable law
The applicable written purchase agreement and closing documents control the actual rights and responsibilities of the parties.
8. Seller Disclosure Responsibilities
Selling a property as-is does not eliminate disclosure responsibilities that may apply under Missouri law or other applicable law.
Different disclosure obligations may apply depending on the facts and circumstances of a particular property. These may include certain known environmental conditions, property conditions, legal requirements, contractual disclosures, or other matters required by law.
Property owners should provide truthful information concerning the property and should consult an attorney if they are unsure about a legal disclosure obligation. Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as advising a property owner to conceal or withhold information that applicable law requires to be disclosed.
9. Title, Liens, Ownership, and Occupancy
Properties involving title, ownership, occupancy, or other complications may still be considered, but additional review may be necessary. Examples can include:
- Mortgages
- Tax liens
- Judgment liens
- Probate or estate ownership
- Multiple owners
- Heirs
- Trusts
- Divorce-related ownership
- Tenants
- Existing leases
- Municipal matters
- Other title or occupancy issues
We do not guarantee that any particular title, lien, ownership, tenant, municipal, or other property issue can be resolved. Any required resolution will depend on the facts, applicable law, title review, and the written agreement.
10. The Written Purchase Agreement Controls
Website content, advertisements, emails, telephone conversations, property evaluations, estimates, and preliminary discussions are not substitutes for the applicable written purchase agreement.
If the parties enter into a transaction, the written agreement may address matters such as:
- Purchase price
- Earnest money
- Due diligence
- Property condition
- Title
- Closing
- Possession
- Costs and credits
- Personal property
- Contingencies
- Termination rights
- Assignment rights, if applicable
- Other transaction-specific terms
You should read the agreement carefully before signing. If you do not understand a provision, you may consult an independent attorney or other qualified professional.
11. Cancellation and Termination Rights
Cancellation and termination rights depend on the particular transaction, written agreement, and applicable law.
We do not represent that every property owner automatically receives a particular review period or unrestricted right to cancel a signed real estate agreement. Any contractual cancellation or termination rights will be stated in the applicable written agreement. Additional rights may apply when required by law.
Nothing on this Website limits a cancellation or termination right that applicable law makes nonwaivable.
12. Missouri Transaction-Specific Disclosures
Certain Missouri real estate transactions may require additional disclosures, notices, timing requirements, signatures, cancellation rights, or other procedures under applicable law.
If a transaction involving STL Home Buyers Group is subject to a legally required disclosure, including Missouri residential real estate wholesaling requirements when applicable, the required disclosure will be provided separately in the manner and timeframe required by law.
This Website disclosure does not replace any transaction-specific disclosure required by Missouri law. Nothing on this Website is intended to modify or waive a disclosure, notice, waiting period, signature requirement, cancellation right, or other protection that applicable law makes nonwaivable.
13. Assignment or Transfer of Contract Rights
Whether a particular real estate purchase agreement may be assigned or transferred depends on the agreement and applicable law.
If an agreement permits assignment or transfer, contractual rights may be assigned or transferred as permitted by the written agreement and applicable law. Any legally required disclosure concerning the structure of a transaction will be provided separately when applicable.
14. Independent Advice
Property owners are free to seek independent advice before entering into a transaction with STL Home Buyers Group. Depending on your circumstances, you may wish to consult:
- A Missouri real estate attorney
- A licensed real estate professional
- A qualified appraiser
- A tax professional
- An accountant
- A financial advisor
- Another qualified professional
We do not discourage property owners from obtaining independent advice. Any professional you select represents you according to your separate relationship with that professional.
15. No Professional Advice From This Website
Nothing on STLHomebuyersGroup.com constitutes:
- Legal advice
- Tax advice
- Financial advice
- Accounting advice
- Appraisal services
- Engineering advice

Website information is provided for general informational purposes. Property owners should obtain appropriate professional advice for matters requiring professional judgment.

Properties throughout Missouri may be subject to different:
- Inspection requirements
- Occupancy requirements
- Code requirements
- Permits
- Municipal procedures
- Taxes
- Assessments
- Transfer requirements
- Other local requirements
We do not represent that the same requirements apply to every property. Property-specific requirements are addressed based on the property's location, transaction structure, applicable law, and written agreement.
18. Property Access and Due Diligence
Depending on the property and proposed transaction, we may request additional information or access to the property before deciding whether to make or proceed with an offer. This may include evaluating:
- Property condition
- Repairs
- Occupancy
- Utilities
- Structural or mechanical systems
- Title information
- Municipal information
- Other property-specific matters
Submitting a property does not guarantee that no inspection, walkthrough, due diligence, or property access will be requested. Any due diligence rights relating to an actual transaction are governed by the written agreement.
19. Contact Information and Communications
When you submit information through STLHomebuyersGroup.com, you are providing information to STL Home Buyers Group so that we may respond to your inquiry and evaluate the property.
If you provide a phone number or email address, we may contact you by phone or email concerning the property or inquiry you submitted. Submitting the form does not obligate you to sell and does not obligate us to purchase the property.
Information is handled according to our Privacy Policy. We do not sell property-inquiry information to unrelated data brokers for their independent marketing purposes.
20. Third Parties Involved in a Transaction
