The short answer
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Odessa, Texas, and Ector County and Midland County. 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 a listing plan before deciding what fits your house and timing.
Compare your choices
A listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you want to take on preparation, showings, inspection responses, buyer financing, commissions, and the bills while it is on the market. Ask for a realistic estimate of what you would keep after those costs, repairs, concessions, and carrying time.
Compare the written offer and terms with the likely net from listing. Put the property’s condition, payoff, taxes, any recorded claims, occupancy, and timing beside the numbers before you decide. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
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.

Odessa city limits intersect Ector County and Midland County. That is citywide boundary information, not a decision about an individual parcel; a mailing address alone does not tell you which county holds its records. Check the property’s actual location before using a county deed, probate, or tax office.
Odessa Police publishes four numbered patrol sectors described by major corridors. Use the map for broad city orientation, not as proof of a property’s neighborhood or county.
Odessa Building Inspection describes plan review, permits, construction inspections, and inspections of existing buildings for unsafe conditions. Its posted Certificate of Occupancy workflow is not evidence that every home sale requires a new inspection or certificate. Ask the City about the specific address and notice.
The City Planning Division handles zoning and subdivision processes and links to zoning and plat maps. Those are land-use references, not an estimate of a home’s age, condition, or value.
City Code Enforcement lists high weeds and grass, junk and debris, and unsafe structures among its ordinance topics. A general topic list does not establish a property’s status; use the City’s route for the actual notice or address.
Signing, deadlines, and closing costs
First confirm the property’s county. Ector County and Midland County have separate probate and clerk routes. The recorded ownership, estate appointment papers, and any court orders determine who can sign for a specific property; a relative’s relationship to the former owner does not answer that question by itself. Ask the title company to review the property records and estate papers.
Ector County Probate Department · Midland County Probate Court
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. A deed still must be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page rather than the sale price; the fee can be higher if the deed leaves out the buyer’s mailing address. Confirm the current recording requirements and fee with the clerk for the property’s county.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Ector County Clerk real-property records · Midland County Clerk official public records
Often, you can still sell if the sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas home foreclosures usually happen without a court case. For a property used as a residence, the loan servicer must first send a written notice of default by certified mail and allow 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. The trustee’s 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 begin 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.
