Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to ask for a written cash offer.
The short answer
Share the address, the condition and occupancy you know, and the timing that matters. We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare that with repair bids, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time a listing may take.
Selling choices
Ask an agent or plan a seller-managed sale around the actual property. Include repairs, cleaning, photos, showings, inspection responses, commissions, concessions, taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage payments, and the time you may carry the house before settlement. Listing can fit when you are ready to prepare and wait for a buyer.
Start with the house as it sits and the facts you know. Compare written price and terms before taking on repairs, cleaning, or repeated showings. Put the actual mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, occupancy, and title questions beside the amount you are comparing.
The useful comparison is what you may keep after the obligations and costs for this house, not only the largest number shown first.
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.

Market context
Market measures answer different questions and cover the places and periods shown with each figure. They do not set the value or net proceeds for one address. Compare them with the house’s condition, repairs, occupancy, timing, and costs.
Planning tool
Net proceeds are what remains after costs, not the sale price. Use the Beaumont home-sale calculator to compare a listing with an as-is sale, then change the assumptions to fit the house. Your actual mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are property-specific.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

The Beaumont Police-hosted neighborhood-associations map labels local areas such as North End, Tyrrell Park, Acorn, Hidden Valley, Dowlen West, Caldwood, Charlton Pollard, and Western Hills. The map is a broad orientation aid, not a parcel-boundary or association-status determination. A label does not establish a home’s age, condition, occupancy, historic status, or code status.
Beaumont is in Jefferson County. A nearby city or mailing address is not a substitute for checking the parcel and the public office that handles the question. Jefferson County records, probate, tax, and appraisal contacts below are starting points; a portal search does not decide title or signing authority for a particular house.
Paperwork, costs, and deadlines
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Ask the title company to check recorded ownership, payoffs, and settlement items for this address.
Often, yes, a Texas house can be sold before the estate is finished once the right person has legal authority to sign. In an independent administration, the executor or administrator can sell without asking the judge first; that authority begins when the court issues letters, the papers showing the appointment. In a dependent administration, the court stays in charge: the house cannot be sold without a court order, and the judge must approve the sale before the deed is signed.
If there is a will and the only unpaid debts are a mortgage or other real-estate liens, the court may admit the will as a muniment of title, an order that lets the people named in the will deal with the property without appointing an executor. This generally must be requested within four years of death. Without probate, heirs usually all sign; the title company decides what proof of heirship it needs. Bring the deed, will, letters, and court papers to the title company. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Can you still sell a Texas house in foreclosure? Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. A lender usually forecloses without going to court through a trustee or substitute trustee. For a home used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written default notice by certified mail and give at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. At least 21 days before the sale, the notice 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 and follow different steps. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

A sale does not cancel a Texas lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord. From the day the new owner gets title, it is responsible for returning security deposits and must give each tenant a signed statement that it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and states the exact amount. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless the written contract says otherwise. Put the lease, deposits, access, and possession plan into the comparison before setting terms.

Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. The Texas Constitution bars a new transfer tax on those transfers after January 1, 2016. A deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk; recording fees are based on pages, not the sale price. Ask the title company or Jefferson County Clerk about the current recording charge for the deed.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

A Texas house with code violations can often be sold, but open notices, orders, bills, and liens still need attention. A sale does not automatically end an order or court case. A city may give a deadline to correct a problem; if it is not addressed, the city may issue a citation or arrange the work and bill the owner. A municipal lien for the cost can be recorded with the county clerk and generally must be dealt with at closing. For a substandard building, an owner may be told to repair or demolish it; selling the property is also an option. Send us any notices so the title company can check for open orders and liens. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Where to find help
These offices and portals help you locate public records or route a question. They do not decide who can sign or what is owed for a specific property; ask the title company to review the actual records and notices.
The portal includes a Property Records search. Use it as a starting point for recorded documents, not as a title conclusion for a particular house.
Use the county’s probate information as a local routing reference. It does not determine the proper estate venue or who may sign for a particular house.
The Tax Office routes tax-certificate requests and property-tax questions. Its guidance directs value and exemption questions to the separate Jefferson Central Appraisal District.
If a delinquent-tax-sale notice is involved, check the county guidance and the actual parcel record with the Tax Office. A general webpage does not establish a property’s balance, notice, sale status, or eligibility.
