Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Clear, honest answers to the questions Houston-area sellers ask most.
Is there any obligation if I request an offer?
No. Requesting an offer simply asks us to review your property and present terms. You're never obligated to accept, and declining carries no cost or penalty.
Do I need to make repairs before requesting an offer?
No. You can explore a sale as-is. We evaluate the property in its current condition, and any offer reflects the work a buyer would take on.
How fast can I get an offer?
We aim to review properties promptly after you reach out, but we won't promise a specific timeframe up front. Timing depends on the property and your details. We'll be clear about next steps when we contact you.
Does a direct sale always get me the highest price?
Not necessarily. A direct sale trades some potential price for convenience, certainty, and timing. If maximizing gross price is your priority, a traditional listing may suit you better. We encourage you to compare both.
What areas do you serve?
Houston and surrounding communities within approximately 100 miles. We measure this as a straight-line radius from central Houston for consistency. See our Areas We Serve directory for the full list.
Do you charge fees or commissions?
A direct sale typically involves no agent commissions or repair costs. We won't claim we cover every closing cost unless that's confirmed in your agreement — confirm which costs, if any, apply in your specific contract.
Can I sell a house with tenants in it?
Yes. We can often purchase with tenants in place, respecting the existing lease. A direct sale doesn't override a lease or remove tenant rights.
Can I sell an inherited house?
Yes, though a sale usually can't close until the executor or administrator has probate authority. We can begin reviewing the property and discussing terms earlier.
Will selling stop my foreclosure?
A sale doesn't automatically stop a foreclosure. If there's enough equity and the sale closes before a foreclosure sale date, it can resolve the debt, but seek qualified legal advice about your specific timeline and rights.
What information should I have ready before requesting an offer?
The property address and basics (beds, baths, square footage), known issues or deferred maintenance, your preferred timeline, and a contact method. You don't need inspection reports or financial documents to start.
Do you buy homes that need major repairs?
Yes. Foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, or water damage — direct buyers are accustomed to properties that need work. Being upfront helps us evaluate accurately.
How do you determine an offer amount?
We consider location, condition, comparable sales, property features, and transaction considerations like title and occupancy. Any number we discuss is an offer based on review — not an appraisal or guaranteed amount.
Still have questions?
Request an offer and we'll answer everything when we reach out — no obligation.
