Cash purchase
We buy the house as-is for cash. You skip repairs, listings and showings, and close on the date that works for you.
Greater St. Louis home buyer
Sell your house as‑is, on your timeline.
Gateway Acquisitions buys houses across eight Missouri markets around St. Louis. No repairs, no cleaning, no showings and no agent commissions. You choose the closing date.
- Any condition
- Written offer after a walkthrough
- Close through a local title company
Ways we buy
Three ways to sell, built around your situation
Subject-to
Behind on payments, or owe close to what it's worth? We may be able to take over the property with the existing mortgage left in place.
Seller finance
Own it free and clear, or tired of being a landlord? Get paid over time as steady income instead of all at once.
The process
Four simple steps
Reach out
Call any time, day or night, or fill out the short form.
Walkthrough
A Gateway associate visits the house at a time that suits you.
Written offer
A clear written offer follows the walkthrough. We never guess a price on the phone.
Close your way
Closing runs through a local title company on the date you pick.
Even if you never sell
Tell us what's going on
If something's going on with the house that we might be able to help with, let us know. We're glad to see what we can do.

City, suburban and rural houses in any condition.
- St. Louis City
- St. Louis County
- St. Charles County
- Jefferson County
- Franklin County

- Warren County

How it works
No guesswork, no pressure, everything in writing
Here's exactly what happens from your first call to closing day.
1. A real conversation
Call our line any time. Kai, our AI assistant, answers 24 hours a day, says up front that it's an AI, and asks about your situation and the house. It never gives a price over the phone.
2. Photos and a walkthrough
Send a few photos if you can, then a Gateway associate walks the house with you. If you live out of town, we can work out access.
3. A written offer
Our offer accounts for real repairs and recent nearby sales. Every number is in writing, and you're never obligated to accept.
4. Closing with a title company
Closing is handled by True Title in O'Fallon, Missouri. Earnest money is held by the title company, and title has the final say on liens and payoffs.
Our promises
- No price is ever given before a walkthrough.
- No made-up deadlines, scare tactics or pressure.
- Our AI always tells you it's an AI.
- Ask us to stop contacting you, and we stop.
- If selling isn't your best option, we'll say so.
Deal options
Which option fits you?
Cash purchase
Best when you want it done quickly and simply. We put the house under contract as-is. We may buy it ourselves, or assign our contract to another buyer, and we tell you that up front.
Subject-to
For owners who are behind or owe close to what the house is worth. The existing mortgage stays in place and payments continue. We'll explain how it works, and you should review it with your own attorney.
Seller finance
For free-and-clear owners and tired landlords. Instead of one lump sum, you receive payments over time on terms we agree to in writing.
Who we help
When a house has become a burden
Every situation is different. These are the ones we see most often.
Facing foreclosure
Behind on payments or facing a sale date, and want to explore options while there's still time.
Back property taxes
Taxes have piled up and the house is headed toward a tax sale.
Inherited or probate
Families handling an inherited house they don't plan to keep.
Vacant homes
A house sitting empty while taxes, insurance and upkeep keep adding up.
Tired landlords
Done with tenants, repairs and late-night calls.
Major repairs
Roof, foundation, fire or water damage, and no plans to fix it.
If selling isn't your best option, we'll tell you and point you toward resources that can help.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will you tell me a price on the phone?
No. Every house is different, so we make offers only after seeing it in person. You'll get a clear written offer after the walkthrough, with no obligation to accept.
Do I need to fix or clean anything?
No. We buy as-is. Leave behind anything you don't want.
Are there fees or commissions?
There are no agent commissions. Closing is handled by a title company, and the written offer explains who pays which closing costs.
How fast can we close?
You pick the date. Some owners want to close quickly; others need time to move. We work around you.
Will you buy the house yourselves?
Sometimes we buy it ourselves, and sometimes we assign our purchase contract to another investor buyer. We disclose this in writing before you sign, as Missouri rules require.
Who answers when I call?
Kai, our AI assistant, answers 24 hours a day. Kai tells you it's an AI, collects details about your situation, and books a walkthrough. A real person from Gateway handles your offer and closing.
Are you a real estate agent?
No. Gateway Acquisitions is a direct buyer, not a real estate agent or broker, and doesn't give legal or financial advice. For decisions like subject-to, we encourage you to talk with your own attorney.
What if I'm not sure I want to sell?
That's fine. Call anyway. If selling isn't your best option, we'll say so and point you toward resources.
