The sale price is not the same as what you keep. Compare the written price with costs and property balances, including repairs, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.

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.

No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. A deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. The recording fee is based on the number of pages, not the sale price, and may be higher if the deed leaves out the buyer's mailing address. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In Texas, a lender usually forecloses on a home without going to court. This is called a non-judicial foreclosure sale, and a trustee or substitute trustee runs it. For property used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written notice of default by certified mail. It must give you at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. Then, 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 instead, and those follow different steps. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Those balances are separate from closing costs and can affect what remains from a sale. Bring the most recent payoff, lien, or tax information you have so the actual figures can be reviewed for the property.

Yes. Start with the Brownsville property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing you are working with. A deed, tax notice, payoff statement, lien notice, or foreclosure notice can help answer a specific question, but you can call before everything is gathered. We provide a written offer and written terms before you commit, with a title-company closing.
