Questions About Selling a House in Fort Worth, TX

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house, its condition, and who is living there.

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.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. A property-specific closing date depends on the actual sale and title details.

Compare what remains after the costs attached to each sale path, not just the headline price. A listing may involve repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and bills while you wait. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate property obligations to account for.

No. Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. 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. Texas mortgage foreclosures are usually handled without going to court by a trustee or substitute trustee. For a home used as your residence, the servicer must send a written default notice by certified mail and allow 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 on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and must start no later than three hours after the time 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.

Often, yes, once the person signing has authority to sell. In an independent administration, an executor or administrator can generally sell without a separate court order after letters are issued, subject to the will, appointment order, and any required sale authority. A dependent administration stays under court control and requires a court order and the judge’s approval before the deed is signed. If there is no probate, heirs usually all sign, and the title company decides what proof of heirship it needs. The actual estate papers determine who can sign.

Yes. You can discuss a sale while a tenant is still living in the house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or authorize a lockout; the lease and the actual tenancy determine what needs to happen for the handoff.

Yes, you can discuss a house with a code notice. A sale does not automatically end an open order or court case, and a municipal lien may remain with the property until it is paid. Share the notice so the title company can check the property’s open orders and liens.

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax notice, lien notice, or foreclosure notice can help answer the next question, but you can call before you have every document gathered.
