USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Longview and Gregg and Harrison Counties. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Longview spans both counties; parcel or title records can confirm which county applies to a particular address. Compare a written offer with the preparation, costs, and time involved in listing.
You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to start with the property address.
Request a written cash offerThe short answer
Share the address, what needs work, who lives there, and the date that matters to you. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Compare the written terms with the work, costs, and time involved in listing before you decide.
Compare the choices
A listing can reach retail buyers, but first price the work and ongoing costs for your house: repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, marketing or commissions, utilities, taxes, and the time before closing. Ask for an estimated net, not only a list price.
We review the property in its current condition. Compare the written price and terms with your payoff and other property obligations, then weigh the work and waiting time you may avoid against what you would keep.
Cash Offer and EZ Sale are different options. Compare their written numbers with a listing plan and use the calculator to test the costs that apply to 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.

Longview market numbers
The shared display keeps a measure with its source, area, and period. A broad market figure is not an appraisal or a price for one address, and it does not tell you what you would keep after costs.
Local property context
Longview's small-area plans focus on Downtown, described by the City as its historic heart, and the Interstate 20 Corridor at the city's southern edge near LeTourneau University. The City also has a Historic Preservation Commission and a survey of the Downtown Core. If that might matter to your property, check the actual address; the planning areas and survey do not establish a particular home's historic status, condition, value, or eligibility.

Longview permits and inspects in-city multi-family rental properties the City defines as three or more units; it also keeps a registry for short-term residential rentals and bed-and-breakfast uses. Those programs do not establish a sale requirement for a single-family house. If you have a code notice, lease, or rental record, keep it with the property details and check any deadline with the office that sent it.

Longview Code Compliance handles specified public-nuisance complaints, including high grass and weeds, junk and litter, and junk vehicles. The City separately routes substandard or dangerous-building concerns. Its Code Compliance page says properties are investigated on a complaint basis. A sale does not automatically clear an open order or court case, so read the notice and check its deadline with the City; share any order or lien notice when comparing a sale.
Closing questions
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas home foreclosures are usually non-judicial, meaning a trustee or substitute trustee can conduct the sale without a court case. For property used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written notice of default by certified mail, giving at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed.
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 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.
Read the Texas State Law Library guides to foreclosure before the sale and the sale process.
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing that kind of 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.
See Article VIII, Section 29 of the Texas Constitution and the Texas Legislative Council's analysis.

The deed and estate paperwork determine who can sign. In an independent administration, the executor or administrator can sell after the court issues letters; a dependent administration requires a court order. Ask the title company to review the records for the property and speak with a Texas estate attorney about your situation.
Yes. A sale does not itself cancel a lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord. Share the lease and security-deposit records you have. Texas law makes the new owner responsible for returning the deposit from the day it gets title, while the seller remains responsible for deposits collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless the written contract says otherwise.

Local records and offices
Longview directs property-tax questions to the office for the county where the property sits. Gregg and Harrison County offices also have different records and notice routes; check the address and the paperwork you received.
The City explains that it does not directly collect property taxes and routes Gregg- and Harrison-County property questions to the relevant county offices.
Find the Clerk's probate-fee and e-filing resources; confirm which records or filings apply to your matter.
The Clerk lists a probate contact, online probate-record access, and a foreclosure and tax-sales section.
Check the county's current notices for the property; the notice itself controls the dates that apply.
Use the City page for code-compliance complaints and contact details; read any property-specific notice for deadlines.
Use this separate City page for substandard or dangerous-building concerns.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each quote keeps its seller's actual location; a nearby review is not presented as a Longview sale.
