Our company · Austin, Texas
A small local shop that buys houses the hard way — honestly.
Easy Street Development is locally owned. We live in Austin. We buy houses in Austin, Lakeway, and Round Rock, one door at a time, and we sign our name to every offer we make.
No call center. No out-of-state fund. No quiet handoff to a wholesaler after we’ve got your address. If you call us, you’re talking to the person writing the check.
Why we built this.
We started Easy Street Development because we watched too many Austin homeowners get handled badly. Big national “we buy houses” outfits would send a lowball number, tie the house up on a contract, then shop it around to real buyers for a finder’s fee. By the time the seller realized, it was too late to list and too late to walk.
We didn’t want to run that kind of company. So we don’t. We buy with our own money, we close on our own timeline, and we do the unpopular thing of telling sellers when they’d make more listing with an agent. Some weeks that means we walk away from deals. That’s fine. The deals we do close are the ones that were right for both sides.
We’re not trying to be the biggest cash buyer in Texas. We’re trying to be the one your neighbor recommends after they sell their mom’s house to us. That’s a smaller business but it’s a better one, and it’s the only one we know how to run.

Our bet on you.
Most people don’t ask for a cash offer because things are going well. You’re tired, something changed, the house became a weight instead of a place. We get it — every house we buy has a story behind it, and most of them are hard.
Here’s what we promise when you fill out that form: we show up when we say we will, we give you a number we can actually close on, and we never push. If listing with an agent is the right move for you, we’ll tell you. If our offer isn’t enough, we’ll tell you that too. We’d rather lose a deal than sell you something you regret.

By the numbers.
What our track record actually looks like.
Why this exists.
Two stories that made us start this company.
A seller in East Austin signed with a “cash buyer” who offered $180,000 on a house worth $230,000. Fair enough — fast close, no repairs. Except six weeks later, the “buyer” still hadn’t closed. Turns out they were a wholesaler. They’d been shopping the contract to investors, couldn’t find one willing to pay their markup, and quietly walked away. The seller lost two months, missed her relocation window, and ended up listing for less than the original offer. We met her a year later. That conversation started this company.
A family inherited a house in Lakeway after their father passed. Three siblings, three states, nobody could agree on what to do. One wanted to list, one wanted to rent, one wanted it gone. A national “we buy houses” company sent a mailer, made an offer sight-unseen, then dropped the price by $40,000 after the inspection — citing “unforeseen repairs” they could have seen in the listing photos. The family walked. When they called us, we made one offer after a walkthrough and closed at that number three weeks later.
What we actually believe.
Four things we keep coming back to. The whole company is downstream of these.
Tell the truth, even when it loses the deal.
If listing with an agent would net you more and you have time to wait, we’ll say so. If our number is low because the roof is shot, we’ll show you the math. We’d rather you trust us and not sell than sell and feel tricked.
One number, and we mean it.
Some cash buyers quote high, then find reasons to drop the price at closing. We quote one number after we’ve seen the house, and that’s the number on the check. If the inspection turns up a nightmare, that’s on us, not you.
Your pace, not ours.
If you need to close in seven days, we’ll make it happen. If you need three months to sort out the tenants, find new housing, or wait for probate, we’ll wait. We don’t have a quarterly deal target hanging over us.
Your info stays with us.
We don’t sell leads. We don’t put you on a drip campaign. We don’t hand your address to other investors. One person at our shop calls you, and if it doesn’t click, that’s the end of it.
Where we buy.
Austin and the close-in suburbs are where we live and work. If your house is somewhere in here, we can come look at it this week.
