Which selling option fits an as-is Hobbs house?
List with an agent
Ask whether listing the house in its current condition fits your plan. Compare any repairs or cleanout you choose, preparation and showing access, the charges in the listing agreement, buyer negotiations, and the bills you may carry while it is for sale.
Sell it yourself
You arrange the marketing, buyer questions, property access, price discussions, and sale coordination—or choose professional help for parts you do not want to manage. Include the time and any support you choose in your comparison.
A direct as-is sale is another path when you want written purchase terms without first preparing the house. Compare those terms with a realistic listing or sale-by-owner plan.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different terms. The comparison puts them beside an agent listing and selling on your own; compare the written numbers and the work for your house.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
What local permit detail matters before you plan repairs?
For a building-permit question at a Hobbs city address, start with City of Hobbs Building Safety & Permits. The City says addresses outside Hobbs city limits require an approved Lea County Address & New Construction application before the City issues a permit. This routes an office question; it does not determine a parcel's boundary or whether particular work needs a permit.
Which costs and complications should you compare?
For a listing or sale by owner, put the repairs and cleanout you choose, preparation, listing or professional-service charges, and the bills you carry while the house is for sale next to the proposed price. For a direct sale, compare the written price and terms with your payoff and other property costs. A higher asking price alone does not show what you may keep.
New Mexico county clerks generally charge $25 to record a document with up to 10 index entries, plus $25 for each additional block of up to 10 entries under NMSA §14-8-15. That is a document-recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. Check the Lea County Clerk fee schedule and the New Mexico recording-fee statute for the document and filing details.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts settled at closing.
Pick your condition — light touch-ups through fire damage — and see what you'd actually walk away with. Change any number in it.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What can you do now?
Share the Hobbs address, what needs work, whether anyone lives there, and the timing that matters to you. You can call with a question while you compare the options; you do not have to decide before the conversation.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to ask for a written cash offer. Read the written offer and terms before deciding.
