The short answer
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and the date that matters. We review the house as-is and give you written terms before you decide. Compare the number with preparation, selling costs, payoff, bills while you wait, and the time a listing may take.
Compare the choices
Start with the address, the house’s condition, who lives there, and the date that matters. Compare a realistic listing plan with written direct-sale terms, including the costs and bills you would carry while the house is for sale.
A listing can fit if you want to reach retail buyers and can take on the preparation and access. Compare repair bids, cleaning, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, and the time you may carry the house. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
Compare the written price and terms with the costs, payoff, occupancy, access, and timing for this property. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You receive written terms before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company.
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.

Useful local facts
An Austin city label does not identify the county for a particular parcel. Check the property's official parcel record before contacting a county clerk, court, or property-tax office; do not select an office from the city name alone.
The City of Austin lists common code violations and points residents to its code resources. That general page does not establish whether a particular house has a notice; check the address and any notice you received.
Closing questions
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The title company checks the recorded ownership and property-specific settlement items.
Start with the deed and any estate, trust, or court papers. Ask the title company which owners or representatives need to sign for this property. If ownership or authority is unclear or disputed, ask a Texas attorney before signing.
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 29 · Texas Legislative Council analysis of proposed amendments
Share the lease, who lives at the property, access limits, and the possession plan you want considered. Compare how each selling path would work with the actual occupancy and any dates in the lease or court papers. Ask a Texas attorney about a specific tenant or court question.
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In Texas, a lender usually forecloses on a home without going to court. This is called a non-judicial foreclosure sale, and a trustee or substitute trustee runs it. For property used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written notice of default by certified mail. It must give you at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. Then, at least 21 days before the sale, the notice of sale must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk and sent by certified mail to each borrower. The sale is a public auction at the county courthouse, usually on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. It must start no later than three hours after the time stated in the notice. Some foreclosures go through court instead, and those follow different steps. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
