Compare your choices

Compare the money, work, and time for this house

Listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you can take on preparation, showings, inspection requests, and the time it takes a buyer to close. Add repair and cleanout bids, commissions, carrying costs, and the bills you will pay while you wait. A direct sale gives you another written number to compare without starting listing work first. Look at what remains after costs and property obligations, not only the asking price.

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.

Market context and next steps

Use market measures as context, not as a price for your house

Citywide measures cannot account for one home's condition, needed work, access, occupancy, title, or timing. Compare the property and costs that apply to you.

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.

Local property questions

Check San Antonio records before you plan work or a sale

Historic districts and landmarks

The City lists 32 local historic districts and more than 1,500 designated landmarks. District labels include Dignowity Hill and King William; a neighborhood name alone does not show that a particular address is inside a mapped district. Check the address with the City before planning exterior work or repairs.

Permits and inspections

San Antonio Development Services provides residential permit and inspection information. The City says most inspections it performs relate to building permits; that does not establish that a sale itself requires an inspection. Check the address and the work in question with Development Services.

City residential permits · City residential inspections

Vacant or neglected buildings

The City has a Vacant Building Program with a map, registration information, and maintenance standards for covered buildings. Use the City's resources to check whether the program applies to a particular property rather than guessing from its appearance or address.

Rental or apartment property

The City publishes rental-provider resources and a Proactive Apartment Inspections program. Check the City's current guidance for the address and property type; the program name alone does not establish whether a particular property is covered.

Paperwork, deadlines, and settlement

Know who can sign, what the deadline is, and what gets paid

Inherited property: who can sign?

Often, an inherited house can be sold once the right person has authority to sign. The estate papers and any court orders matter. Bexar County lists contacts for its three Probate Courts; that is a local starting point, not a decision about who may sign for your property. Have the title company review the estate papers and ask an estate attorney about your situation.

If a foreclosure sale is scheduled

Often, you can still sell if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas lenders usually foreclose without going to court; a trustee or substitute trustee runs that type of sale. For a home used as a residence, the 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, 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., and 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. Check the actual notice and sale date promptly.

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 still signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not the sale price; a deed without the buyer's mailing address costs more to record. Ask the Bexar County Clerk about current filing requirements and fees.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
