About Brickyard Home Buyers
We're Dave, Sam and Jesse, a father and his two sons who buy houses across St. Louis and answer our own phones. Not a national company, not a call center.
A few years ago our family had to sell a house we'd inherited, and we needed to sell it quickly. We expected it to be hard emotionally. We didn't expect the buyers to make it harder.
We got offers that were a fraction of what the house was worth. One buyer agreed to a price, then tried to cut it days before closing. Others stopped returning calls the moment we asked questions. We got through it, but it stuck with us. If it felt that way for us, what was it like for a family with even fewer options and less time?
That's how Brickyard was born: to be the buyer we wished we'd found, with fair offers in writing, straight answers, and closings that happen when we say they will. People first, then the transaction.
Partner
Dave has been in business for more than 40 years, and the lesson that stuck is a simple one: people deserve honesty and respect, especially when life gets hard. He's part of every decision we make, and his test never changes. Would he be comfortable if his own family were on the other side of this deal?
Partner
Sam is often the first face sellers meet, usually on a front porch or at the kitchen table, like the one in the photo on this page. He'd rather sit down and hear the whole story than rush to a number, and he's happiest when a family leaves closing feeling lighter than the day they called.
Partner
Jesse keeps things moving. He's built and run teams across several businesses, and he's at his best when a family's timeline is tight and every detail has to land. Easygoing on the phone, relentless about follow-through, and always the one making sure what we promised actually happens.
Our mission
We tell you what we'd tell our own family, straight and upfront, from the first call.
In writing, with every number explained and no pressure to sign.
No judgment. Life happens to everyone.
We restore the homes we buy and put them back into the community, often for families who couldn't otherwise buy.
Call or text us anytime. No obligation, ever.
