The short answer
Yes — we buy Fort Worth houses as-is
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and compare written terms with the work, carrying costs, and timing of a listing.
Selling choices
Compare a direct as-is sale with listing in Fort Worth
Traditional listing or selling it yourself
Budget for repair bids, cleanout, photography, showings, inspection responses, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, and the time you may carry the property. A house ready to show may suit a listing; a house with major work or a deadline may be worth comparing before starting that work.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different buyers and timing terms. Compare the written numbers with the listing plan and the costs you would actually carry.
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 numbers
Use market measures as context, not a price for your address
Recent sales, days on market, inventory, and a modeled typical home value describe broader market activity. They do not set the value or net proceeds for one house; condition, title, payoff, occupancy, and costs still matter.
For one broad reference, Zillow's typical home value is $295,800 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Fort Worth, TX). It is a market-level model, not an offer or a property-specific valuation.
Housing prices and selling conditions
These measures describe housing prices and selling conditions for the areas and periods shown. Compare them alongside repair costs, your mortgage payoff and selling costs.
| Measure | Value | Source and area | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $333,000 | Redfin · Fort Worth, TX | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Median days on market | 48 days | Redfin · Fort Worth, TX | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Homes sold | 3,068 homes | Redfin · Fort Worth, TX | Three months ending August 2026 |
| Typical home value (Zillow ZHVI) | $295,800 | Zillow · Fort Worth, TX | As of August 2026 |
| For-sale inventory | 3,393 homes | Zillow · Fort Worth, TX | As of August 2026 |
Include utilities, other bills and any mortgage payments while waiting to sell. Allow time for closing, too.

Check the actual county and address before choosing an office
Fort Worth city has land in Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Wise Counties. The city boundary and county boundaries are separate map features, so the correct county office depends on the property address. Confirm that county before relying on a probate, tax, deed-record, or foreclosure contact.
Census TIGERweb Fort Worth place record · Census county-boundary query for the Fort Worth area
Historic districts are place context, not a parcel ruling
The National Park Service register lists the Fort Worth Stockyards, Oakhurst, Fairmount-Southside, Near Southeast, and Central Handley Historic Districts. A National Register label does not establish whether a particular parcel falls inside a local preservation area or what work it needs. Check the exact address and ask the City about any current permit or preservation question before planning work.
Property and closing questions
Keep the actual paperwork, deadlines, and occupants in the comparison
Written price and terms should be clear before you commit. A title company checks ownership records, payoffs, settlement items, documents, and funds; the actual deed, notices, lease, and court papers determine which questions need attention for your property.
Inherited property and who can sign
Often, an inherited Texas house can be sold once the person with authority is ready to sign. Property passes under the will or to heirs if there is no will, but remains subject to the deceased owner's debts. In an independent administration, an executor or administrator can sell without a separate judge's approval when the appointment and sale authority are in place; the court-issued letters are the proof a title company asks to see.
In a dependent administration, the court stays in charge and must approve the sale before the deed is signed. If there is no probate, heirs usually sign, and the title company decides what proof of heirship it needs. Gather the will, letters or court order, deed, payoff information, and any recorded liens so the title company can identify the actual signers. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Texas Estates Code §§101.001–101.051 · Independent administration, §§401.001–401.006 · Independent executor powers, §§402.052–402.053 · Dependent administration, §§356.001, 356.556, 356.558.
Mortgage foreclosure and a trustee sale
Often, yes, you can sell before a Texas foreclosure sale if the sale closes in time. For a home used as your residence, the servicer first sends a written default notice by certified mail and gives at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. At least 21 days before the sale, the sale notice must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk, and sent by certified mail to each borrower.
A non-judicial trustee sale is a public courthouse auction, 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 tenant or lease does not disappear at sale
Yes, a Texas rental house can be sold with a tenant living there. The sale does not cancel the lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord. When ownership changes, Texas law makes the new owner responsible for security deposits from the time it receives title and requires a signed statement to each tenant identifying the new owner and exact deposit amount. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that duty, unless the written contract says otherwise.
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side may give notice; it generally ends on the later of the notice date or one month after notice, unless a lease signed by both sides sets a different notice period. Bring the lease, deposit record, access limits, and possession plan into the comparison.
Texas Property Code §92.105, security deposits after ownership changes · Texas Property Code §91.001, month-to-month notice.
Texas real-estate transfer tax and closing costs
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. A deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk; a recording fee is different from a tax on the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Open code notices, orders, or repair bills
A house with a Texas code notice can often still be sold, but an open notice, order, bill, or lien does not automatically disappear when ownership changes. Read the actual notice and ask the city what remains open for the address. Fort Worth's pages below are contact routes for rental registration, code, permits, and inspections; check the current requirement for the specific property rather than assuming a citywide rule or status.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Questions Fort Worth sellers ask
Can I sell my Fort Worth house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare the written terms with the work, cost, and time involved in listing the house.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Who can sign for an inherited Texas house?
It depends on the estate path and the sale authority. An independent executor or administrator may be able to sell once appointed and able to show that authority; a dependent administration requires a court order and approval before the deed is signed. The title company checks the actual papers and signers.
Can I sell a Texas rental house with tenants still there?
Yes. A sale does not cancel the lease. The buyer becomes the landlord, and Texas law sets duties for the security deposit when ownership changes. Bring the lease, deposit record, access limits, and possession plan into the written comparison.
What if a trustee sale is scheduled?
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. Whether a sale can close in time depends on the actual notice and property details; some foreclosures follow court procedures instead.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
Which county office handles a Fort Worth property?
Fort Worth city intersects Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Wise Counties. Check the property address and county before using a records, probate, foreclosure, or tax office; a Fort Worth mailing address alone does not identify the county for an individual property.
