Listing and a direct sale take different work

Listing the house

Listing can fit when the house is ready to show and you can manage preparation and waiting. Compare a realistic sale price after repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time before closing—not just the asking price.

Selling directly

You can compare written terms without first repairing, cleaning, or clearing out the house for us. Consider the house's condition, occupancy, payoff, other costs, and timing when you compare what you may keep.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

The Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different buyers, timing, and price trade-offs. Compare their written numbers with a listing plan and choose the option that fits your house and priorities.

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.

Big Spring property details

City permit information for an existing project or notice

Big Spring's Permits and Inspections page lists a residential construction checklist, manufactured-home information, a Certificate of Occupancy application, and a general inspection checklist. Those resources do not by themselves mean a home sale requires a new inspection or certificate. If a City permit or code notice is part of the property, we can review it with you while considering an as-is sale.

Texas closing questions

Understand who can sign, sale dates, and costs

Who can sign for an inherited house?

It depends on how the estate is handled. In an independent administration, the court-appointed personal representative may sell after receiving letters when the will, appointment order, or required recorded affidavit gives the sale authority. In a dependent administration, the court stays in charge: a court order and the judge's approval are required before the deed is signed. If there is no probate, the heirs usually sign, and the title company confirms what proof of heirship it needs.

If a trustee's sale is scheduled

Often, yes, you can still sell if the sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas mortgage foreclosures are usually non-judicial, run by a trustee or substitute trustee; some go through court and follow different steps. For a home used as your residence, the loan servicer must send written notice of default 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, notice must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk, and sent by certified mail to each borrower. The public auction is usually at the county courthouse 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. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Texas real-estate transfer tax and closing costs

No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. A deed still must be signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. The clerk charges a recording fee by the page, not by the sale price, and charges more if the deed leaves out the buyer's mailing address.

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 · Howard County Clerk recording information

Selling a house with tenants

A sale does not cancel a lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord. When ownership changes, Texas law makes the new owner responsible for returning the security deposit and requires a signed statement to each tenant with the exact deposit amount. The seller remains responsible for deposits collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless the written contract says otherwise. A lease can also set a different notice period for a month-to-month tenancy.
