About
I’m Brayden. I buy houses here in Columbia.
We Buy Houses Columbia buys houses directly from sellers across Columbia, Boone County, and the surrounding mid-Missouri towns. No agents, no commissions, no repair lists, and no waiting on somebody’s bank. It’s just me: I call you back, walk through the house with you and make the offer.
Most people who call me aren’t shopping for the highest number. They have a house that’s become a problem — an inherited property two states away, a rental they’re done with, a payment they’re behind on — and they want it handled by somebody who picks up the phone.
When you call, you talk to Brayden, not a call center.
Four things I’ll hold to
You’re handing a stranger the keys to something that matters. These are the terms.
- 1
The offer is the offer
The number I give you is the number you get. I cover closing costs, and I don't bring a repair list back to the table after you've said yes.
- 2
You pick the closing date
Seven days if you need it fast. Two months if you need time to sort through a lifetime of belongings. Your situation sets the pace, not mine.
- 3
As-is means as-is
No cleaning, no repairs, no staging, no showings. Leave behind whatever you don't want. I've bought houses in every condition you can picture.

No pressure, and no is a fine answer
If listing with an agent nets you more, I'll tell you. A cash offer isn't right for every house or every seller, and I'd rather say so than talk you into something.
Faith, and how I do business
My faith shapes how I run this business. I try to treat every seller the way I’d want to be treated if I were on the other side of the table.
Honesty
I tell you the truth about your house, my offer and how I got there, even when the truth is that listing would net you more.
Integrity
If I say it or put it in writing, I keep it. The price and closing date in your contract are the ones you get.
Family first
Selling a house is often part of a hard season. I treat every seller the way I'd want my own family treated: patiently, with no pressure.
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.”
Matthew 7:12
When I’m not your best option
A cash sale trades some price for speed and certainty. That’s a good trade in plenty of situations and a bad one in others. Here’s when I’d tell you to go a different direction:
- You have time and the house shows well — an agent will likely net you more.
- You want full retail price and can wait 60–90 days for the right buyer.
- You're only curious what it's worth — a local agent's free CMA is the better tool.
If any of those describe you, call anyway. I’d rather spend ten minutes pointing you somewhere better than have you take a number that wasn’t right for your situation.
Columbia first, mid-Missouri close behind
Single-family homes, duplexes and small multi-family up to four units, mobile homes on owned land, rentals with tenants still in them, and houses that haven’t been lived in for years. Fire damage, mold, foundation problems, code violations — none of it disqualifies a house.

Columbia and Boone County first, and the mid-Missouri towns around them. If your house is just outside this list, call anyway.
Tell me about the house. I’ll give you a straight answer.
