How we operate
You should be able to check everything we say.
Janam Investments LLC is a small operation buying houses in Kansas City and, through our buyer network, across the country. We are new. We would rather tell you that than manufacture a history — and instead of asking you to trust a story, here is exactly how we behave, in terms specific enough that you can hold us to them.
What we commit to
We tell you what we are, first
We are principals. We buy for our own account, and we do not represent you. An agent owes you loyalty; we are the buyer across the table. Most sites in this business bury that. It is the first thing on ours because you should be able to weigh our offer knowing exactly whose interest we are serving.
We show you the arithmetic
Repaired value, minus repairs, minus holding and resale costs, minus our margin. That is the whole formula, it is on the home page, and we will walk you through all four numbers for your specific address if you ask. You cannot judge whether an offer is fair without it.
We tell you when listing is the better answer
If your house is in good shape, you can wait three months, and you can absorb a deal falling through, an agent will usually put more money in your pocket. We will say so on the phone. We would rather lose a deal than take one from someone who had a better option and did not know it.
We do not renegotiate after you have accepted
A common tactic in this industry is to offer high, get the contract signed, then discover problems and grind the price down as closing approaches, when you are least able to walk away. We price the risk into the first number instead. If we find something genuinely undisclosed, we will talk to you about it — but the offer is not a placeholder.
We tell you if we may assign the contract
We contract to purchase, and we may assign that contract to another buyer in our network before closing. Your price and your closing date do not change. Sellers have been burned by learning this at the closing table, so we put it in the footer, in the FAQ, and in the offer flow.
We do not run a pressure campaign
No expiring offers, no countdown timers, no eleven calls in three days. We call, we leave a message, we try once more. If you want time to think, take it — a decision this size should not be made because someone made you feel rushed.
What we will not do
Most of what gives this industry its reputation is on this list.
- Cold-call or text people who have not contacted us
- Send letters implying we already have a contract on your house
- Advertise a number we have no intention of paying
- Ask you to clean, repair, or empty the house before closing
- Charge you a fee, at any point, for anything
If we ever do any of these, call it out. aj@janamproperties.com reaches the owner directly, and (816) 477-3671 is a phone that gets answered.
