Money and choices

Compare what you keep, not just the sale price

Net proceeds are the money left after sale costs and property balances. Compare a written price with the costs that apply to your house, including any repairs, commissions, carrying costs, payoff, liens, back taxes, and current property-tax share.

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

College Station seller questions, answered

What would I keep if I sold my College Station house for cash?

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property balances, not just the headline price. Compare the written offer with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, concessions, carrying costs, and any mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. The actual numbers depend on the house and written terms.

Does Texas charge a tax when I sell my house, and who pays closing costs?

No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. The recording fee is based on the number of pages, not the sale price, and can be higher if the buyer's mailing address is missing from the deed. 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 ask about an inherited house before I have every document?

Yes. You can start with the address and the papers you have now; you do not need to have every detail figured out before you call. The offer and terms are written before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company.

What if a foreclosure sale is scheduled?

Often, yes, if the sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas lenders usually foreclose without going to court; a trustee or substitute trustee runs that sale. For a home used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written default notice by certified mail and give you at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. At least 21 days before the sale, notice 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.; 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.

What should I have ready for a first conversation?

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A notice, lease, deed, payoff statement, or other paper can help answer a follow-up question, but you can call before you have everything gathered.

What information helps if tenants are living in the house?

Start with who lives there, what you know about the lease, what access is available, and any timing or notice you have. The lease and the property details are useful context for discussing the next step.
