Bobby Kough 

Sometimes, things will happen in life that causes us to have to pack up and move… I know…in my 12 years in the military, our family moved 13 times… between training assignments and deployments, etc. In what is now over 46 years of marriage, my wife and have moved 19 times. So we know what it is like when you need to sell a home, quickly and easily – or as easily and as quickly as possible – and move…Amen. 

For some others, it could be having to sell a home after their parents pass on…for others, it could be through a divorce, etc. 

The point being, when you need to sell, in some circumstance, it is not feasible to do repairs, set up the staging of the house – allowing strangers to come walking through (and realtors wanting you OUT of the house before they bring these strangers through), etc. 

But, that is the “traditional” route that a lot of people think they have to take…

Not anymore…our guest today is Robert Kough, who will be offering you an alternate solution… 

Originally from Rancho Cucamonga, California, Robert Kough now resides in the St. Louis, MO area. He is a 2015 graduate of the US Army Military Academy at West Point and played as a defensive lineman with the Black Knights… with 79 career tackles… Praise God! 

He served as an Engineer Officer for five years.  After military service, he moved into a passion that he had been holding onto for his last year or so he was in the Army – Real Estate.  

The Lord had him connect with a fellow West Point graduate, Jimmy Vreeland and together, they have built a hugely successful company, IBuySTL (or St. Louis). Together, they have grown this company to one of the major players in the St. Louis housing market.  

IBuySTL provides options to sellers outside of the traditional way of selling a home, where the seller completes repairs prior to selling.  

Working with IBuySTL, they will purchase your house “as-is” and offer creative solutions to alleviate many of the stressors that often come with selling a home.  So far, they have built a turnkey portfolio of more than 800 houses!  IBuySTL has been recognized as one of the top buyers of houses in St. Louis and the surrounding areas. Amen! 

Help me welcome to the program, Bobby Kough!  Bobby, it is a blessing to have you with us today, brother! 

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Bobby Kough?” 

Were you a believer before going to West Point? 

From what I understand, you lost your father while at West Point, correct?

Was that in your Plebe year?  What were the ramifications of that loss for you at West Point?  Did they give you family leave time or did you have to withdraw… I’m just curious as to how that worked out… 

You returned and had a massive success on the football field.  I live in the Baltimore / Annapolis area of Maryland and, naturally, everything here is “Go Navy.”  I’m in the minority when I shout out “GO ARMY!”  In fact, my son-in-law is a Navy Academy graduate and was a Marine Corps officer… but, I let my Cavalry Officer time shine through…I’ve got Cav yard signs, etc…just to rub it in… 

Share with us one of the most memorable moments you experienced on the football field… 

When did you realize you wanted to leave the military and begin your civilian career? 

Why real estate? What motivated you go down this path? 

How did you meet up with Jimmy Vreeland? 

Share with us how you are able to help homeowners looking to sell their homes in the St. Louis area? 

Your company is an “investment company” and not a real estate company, correct? 

So if someone inherited a house from their parents, or whatever, and they want to sell… you can jump in and help them take care of this fairly quickly? 

What if someone has a home and they are still under a mortgage?  Maybe they have had it for 8-10 years and need to relocate because of work or something like that.  Obviously, they want to get as much out of it as they can so they can purchase another house in their new location… How does it this work for someone in that type of situation? 

Do you operate in any areas outside of the St. Louis area? 

Bobby, this is so interesting… I never thought of the this before in the light you are sharing with us. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you, maybe even to do an interview such as this…how can they do that? How can someone get more information? 

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. 

Folks, if you are in the St. Louis, MO area and looking to sell your home in ANY condition, whether a total “fixer upper” or in perfect condition, you need to contact Bobby Kough at IBuySTL… there is no easier way to sell. Amen! 

Just drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and reach out to Bobby Kough and the team at IBUYSTL. Amen!
