Company bio
We Buy Houses Cash KC is a property investor around Kansas City and St. Joseph, MO. It's been in business since 2017. Owner and president Justin Montoya says he moved from sales and customer service into real estate in 2012 and also works as a realtor.
The business offers cash purchases and agent listings. You can skip repairs on a cash sale. The website also describes a renovation partnership that funds repairs before listing, and seller financing for paid-off or high-equity homes where sellers receive monthly payments rather than a lump sum. For low-equity homes, it may catch up on missed mortgage payments and continue making payments while the existing loan remains in place.

Customer experience
Top 25% in MO
We Buy Houses Cash KC has a strong customer experience profile. Its substantial review record was overwhelmingly positive. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 1 5-star rating — just 2 ratings, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 90/100 places it above the middle of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 85 rated reviews averaged 4.8/5, with 81 five-star ratings and 4 one- or two-star ratings (5%). Reviews dated back to 2017. Our methodology adjusts small rating samples toward the typical company rating, then maps the adjusted rating to a score and applies a small review-depth deduction that decreases as the record grows. Volume credit grows with every rating, with an additional small adjustment that grows fastest over the first few hundred ratings and then slows. It strengthens the distance from the neutral, sample-adjusted 4.5-star signal; this record received a 0.38% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.08 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 12 ratings averaging 4.7/5. The latest 6 months contained 1 1-star rating and 3 5-star ratings. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 1 5-star rating, through October 21, 2026.
Rating trends. The 3-month average fell from 4.82 lifetime to 3.00 — down 1.82 stars, or 37.8%. The one-star share rose from 3.5% to 50.0%, up 46.5 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 1 five-star rating and 1 one-star rating. It was too small to establish a sustained decline.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 31 of 55 detailed customer reviews (56%), followed by honesty and transparency in 22 (40%). Fair pricing and fast closings each appeared in 18 (33%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 67 of 85 reviews (79%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 6 concerned property buyers, 3 concerned business partners and 2 concerned initial contacts without reported outcomes. The remaining 7 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 85 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Top 50% in MO
Company activity · As of October 21, 2026 — our latest collection date.
We Buy Houses Cash KC has recent review activity. Its recent review volume is higher than similar companies. The sparse recent review record limits the pace assessment. We lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. Its Activity score of 75/100 places it around the top 39% of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Recent review volume. The company received more reviews than similar companies across all 3 periods. We counted 12 reviews over 12 months, 4 over 6 months and 2 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 5, 2, and 1, respectively.
Recent review pace. The recent review record is too sparse for a formal pace classification. Its 6-month rate was 0.8× its lifetime average pace, compared with 0.8× over 3 months and 1.2× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0.7 reviews per month over 6 months, 0.7 over 3 months and 1 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.8. The record contains 85 reviews dating back to 2017. A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.
Review freshness. Its latest review on file was October 1, 2026 — less than 3 weeks old as of our last data refresh. 5% of all reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 5 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.

How we researched and scored this company
Methodology
We research each company using its website, business profiles, and third-party customer reviews. We use company sources to understand its services and terms, and distinguish those claims from independent evidence. When available, we also draw on interviews with company representatives and sellers, and relevant public records.
When there is enough evidence, we calculate an overall score out of 100 using 3 categories:
- Customer experience (67.5%) reflects customer satisfaction, based primarily on average customer ratings and the number of reviews supporting them.
- Recent activity (20%) reflects recent review volume, how recently the company received a review, and how its recent review pace compares with its history. Reviews are a signal of activity, not a count of completed home purchases.
- Credibility (12.5%) considers business verification, website transparency, public engagement, and documented operating history.
Use the company or location identified on this page when interpreting the evidence. A broader company record may not describe every local office. Review history is separate from the company’s founding date.
Limited evidence can restrict what we can assess. A company may appear without a score, and a small review sample may not represent a typical seller’s experience. Scores summarize the evidence available to us; they do not predict an offer price or guarantee a sale or service quality.
