About Our Company

Fast Lane Real Estate is a cash home buyer based in St. Charles, Missouri, founded by Air Force veteran Lane Forhetz. We buy houses as-is, for cash, across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Warren County, and Jefferson County, with no commissions, no repairs, and a closing date you choose.

As a local, family-operated business, we give homeowners a faster, more direct option than listing with an agent: no showings to schedule, no repairs to make, and no waiting on a buyer’s bank.
