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.

Useful questions about selling in Big Spring
What would I keep if I sell my Big Spring house for cash?
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and payoffs, not just the price on the offer. Compare the written price with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and the time you carry the house. The actual numbers depend on the property and written terms.
Do I have to repair or clean the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
When do I get the offer, and what happens before I commit?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive the written offer and terms before you commit; if you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Does Texas charge a real estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax. The deed still must be signed before a notary and recorded with a county clerk; the recording fee is based on pages, not 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.
Can I sell my Texas house if a foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. For a home used as your residence, the loan servicer must send 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. A 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 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.
Can I call before I have every document or decision figured out?
Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing or notice on your mind. You can ask a question before you have everything gathered; you receive the written offer and terms before deciding whether to commit.
