What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us about the property and its notice without first fixing the listed problems.
A direct sale gives you a way to compare an offer without taking on the repair work before the sale. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What can affect closing in Texas?
Texas cities enforce rules that can cover tall grass and weeds, junk, trash, and dangerous or substandard buildings. A notice usually gives the owner a deadline. If the problem is not fixed, the city may issue a citation or arrange the work and bill the owner.
For a substandard building, Texas Local Government Code § 214.001 lets a city order repair or removal. A city may file a lien with the county clerk to collect covered costs; a filed lien can remain against the property until paid and may need to be addressed at closing.
Selling does not automatically end an open order or court case, or clear a city-filed lien. A title company can check for recorded liens and review the notices or court papers involved.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case or lien still needs review; the sale does not automatically erase it.
What happens next

- We review what you share and give you a written cash offer to compare with your other options.
