College Station, TX illustrative estimate
College Station, TX illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
Start with your best estimate of what your house is worth. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.

Choose the question closest to yours
Selling a College Station house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
College Station selling costs: no real-estate transfer tax
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the County Clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not the sale price; the clerk charges more if the deed leaves out the buyer's mailing address. The Texas Constitution bars a new tax on this kind of transfer. Read the Texas Constitution and the Texas Legislative Council's explanation.
For example, a $300,000 sale has $0 in real-estate transfer tax. A separate deed-recording fee depends on the number of pages and filing details, 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.
What College Station sellers should know
Northgate is a city planning and activity area
The City describes Northgate as a mixed-use district with residences, businesses, churches, and entertainment venues across from Texas A&M University. Its Greater Northgate planning area includes several named places and extends along University Drive toward the northern city limits. Those planning labels do not establish a parcel's boundary, zoning, use, or occupancy; check the exact address before relying on them.
City Northgate district information → Greater Northgate plan → Texas A&M University →
Rental and short-term rental rules use separate programs
College Station describes rental registration for specified non-owner-occupied dwelling types and a separate short-term-rental program with permit, inspection, and hotel-occupancy-tax requirements. Confirm which current City rules apply to the property and its actual use; the program descriptions do not determine an individual property's status.
City rental housing information → City short-term rental program →
If you have an inspection or code notice
The City's construction-inspection page describes inspections tied to construction permits and a Certificate of Occupancy after completion and relevant approvals. That is not a blanket resale-inspection requirement. The City's Code Enforcement page lists categories such as vegetation, trash, and open storage; a listed category is not a finding about your property. Keep any notice and ask the City which step applies to that address.

Questions about selling a house in College Station
Can I sell a College Station house without fixing it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and condition so you can compare the written terms with the work and timing of another sale path.
What county is College Station in?
The incorporated College Station place boundary is in Brazos County. Citywide boundaries do not confirm the jurisdiction or status of a particular parcel, so use the exact property address for address-specific questions.
Does Texas charge a real estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. The deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the County Clerk; recording fees are charged by the page, 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.
What should I check if I rent out a College Station house?
The City describes registration for specified non-owner-occupied dwelling types and runs a separate short-term-rental program. Check the City’s current requirements for the exact address and rental use; one program does not establish that another applies.
What if the City has sent a code notice or inspection item?
Keep the notice and property address together, then ask the City what it requires for that specific issue. The City lists code-enforcement categories and construction-inspection steps, but those pages do not establish a violation or inspection requirement for every property.
What happens to insurance proceeds if you buy a fire-damaged house?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
