Grouped by topic. Click any question. These are the honest versions — no sales pitch hiding in the middle.
The Offer
How does the process work?
It’s simple. Call us at (512) 287-8257 or fill out the form on any page. We’ll ask a few questions about the property, run the numbers, and come back with a fair, no-obligation cash offer — usually within one business day. If you accept, you pick the closing date and we handle the rest. For the full breakdown, see how we buy houses.
How do you determine your offer price?
We look at condition, location, current comps in your neighborhood, and the repairs we’ll need to do after closing. We’ll walk you through the math in plain English so you understand exactly how we got to the number. Learn more about what goes into our offer.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. Zero fees, zero commissions, and we cover the closing costs. The number on the offer is the number you walk away with. See the honest math breakdown for a side-by-side comparison.
Is there any obligation if I get an offer?
None. Getting an offer is free and you’re not on the hook for anything. If the math doesn’t work for you, walk away — we mean it. No follow-up spam, no drip campaigns.
What if I owe more than the house is worth?
It happens more than you’d think, especially in Austin right now. If you’re underwater, we can sometimes work with your lender on a short sale. It depends on the numbers. Call us and we’ll be straight with you about whether we can help or not.
How are you different from Opendoor or Zillow?
Opendoor and Zillow’s iBuyer programs use algorithms and usually only buy houses in good condition. We buy houses in any condition — foundation problems, fire damage, tenant situations, you name it. We’re also local and sign our own checks, not a tech company in San Francisco.
Are you a wholesaler?
No. Wholesalers put your house under contract and then try to sell that contract to another investor for a markup. They never intend to buy the house themselves. We buy with our own money, close at a local title company, and our name goes on the deed. If you want to verify, ask any cash buyer: “Are you the one closing on this house?” If they hesitate, they’re a wholesaler.
The Property
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses in any condition — as-is. Whether the place needs a coat of paint or a whole new foundation, we’ll buy it exactly as it sits. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no spending a dime.
What types of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, and small multi-families. We also look at vacant land in some cases. If you’re not sure whether your property fits, just ask.
What if the house is in a trust or LLC?
We buy from trusts and LLCs regularly. The title company handles the paperwork. If you’re the trustee or managing member, you can sign on behalf of the entity. If there are multiple parties involved, we’ll work with your attorney to get everyone aligned.
What if there are liens or back taxes?
We can usually work through liens and back taxes. The title company will identify everything owed, and those amounts get settled at closing out of the proceeds. In some cases we can negotiate with lien holders. The key is knowing what’s there — call us and we’ll help you figure it out.
Do you buy mobile homes?
It depends. If the mobile home is on owned land (not a rented lot), we can usually make it work. Mobile homes on rented lots are trickier because the land isn’t part of the deal. Call us with the details and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Can I take some things and leave the rest?
Absolutely. Take what you want, leave what you don’t. Old furniture, appliances, boxes in the garage, that broken hot tub — we handle all of it after closing. No cleaning required.
Your Situation
Do you buy houses in foreclosure?
Yes. If you’re facing foreclosure, time matters. We can often close fast enough to help you avoid the auction and the hit to your credit. Call sooner rather than later. Read about how the timeline works.
What if I live out of state?
No problem. We’ve closed dozens of remote deals. The title company can arrange a mobile notary or mail-away closing wherever you are. You don’t need to fly in.
What if there are tenants who won’t leave?
We buy houses with tenants in place all the time. We can close around an active lease, or work with you on the tenant situation. This is actually one of the most common reasons sellers call us — landlord fatigue is real.
What if I already have an agent?
If you’re under a listing agreement with an agent, let us know. We can sometimes work with your agent on the deal (they’d receive a commission from us). If your listing expired or you haven’t signed anything, you’re free to sell directly to us.
What if the house is in probate and the estate isn’t settled?
We work with probate attorneys regularly. Depending on where you are in the process, we may be able to make an offer contingent on probate completing, or close after the court approves the sale. The timeline varies by county, but we’ve navigated Travis and Williamson County probate many times.
The Closing
How fast can you close?
As fast as 7 days, or on whatever timeline works for you. Need more time to sort things out or line up your next move? No problem. You pick the date.
What if I change my mind after accepting?
Before closing, you can walk away. We don’t charge cancellation fees or penalties. The purchase contract has a clear timeline — if you change your mind before the closing date, just tell us. We’d rather you feel good about the decision than feel trapped in it. Read what other sellers say about the experience on our reviews page.
