The short answer

Compare the written offer with the work and cost of listing

Share the address, the condition and occupancy you know, and the date that matters. We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare that number with repair work, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time a listing may take.

Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer, or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing can fit when the house is ready to show and you can take on preparation and waiting for a buyer. Compare the likely sale price with repairs, cleaning, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, and the time you may carry the property. The asking price is not the amount you keep.

A direct as-is sale

Compare the written price and terms with your payoff, property costs, access, occupancy, and title questions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

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.

Local property context

Check the actual address before relying on an area label

Lubbock and Lubbock County

Census boundary records place the incorporated City of Lubbock in Lubbock County. That city-level geography does not establish whether an individual parcel is inside city limits or which office handles its services; check the property address before relying on a mailing address.

Listed historic districts

Texas Historical Commission records include South Overton Residential Historic District and Texas Technological College Historic District. Their listed areas are specific historic references, not a citywide housing description or proof that a particular home is inside a district. Check the exact address and current local requirements before budgeting changes to an older property.

Paperwork, costs, and deadlines

Check who can sign, what the settlement includes, and any actual notice

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The title company checks the ownership records and settlement items for this property.

Who needs to sign?

Start with the deed and any estate, trust, or guardianship papers. The title company can identify the people and documents needed for this property. Lubbock County Clerk maintains Probate / Guardianship and Real Property record services; if authority is unclear or disputed, ask a Texas attorney before signing.

Texas transfer tax and closing costs

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 before 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.

If a foreclosure sale is scheduled

Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In Texas, a lender usually forecloses on a home without going to court; a trustee or substitute trustee runs that non-judicial sale. For property used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send written notice of default by certified mail and give you 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 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. 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.
