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
Hillsboro and Hill County seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Hillsboro house as-is without repairing or cleaning it first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with what you know about the house and its condition; you do not have to make repairs before asking about a sale.
How do Cash Offer and EZ Sale compare?
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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer, and do I have to decide then?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
How do I compare the sale price with what I would keep?
Compare net proceeds—the amount left after sale costs and property obligations—not just the headline price. Repairs, commissions, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes can affect what remains.

Does Texas charge a real estate transfer tax, and what closing costs do I pay?
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.
Can I sell my Texas house while it is in foreclosure?
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. Texas lenders usually foreclose on a home without going to court; a trustee or substitute trustee runs the non-judicial sale. For a home used as your residence, the servicer must first send written notice of default by certified mail, giving you at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. 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 auction is 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 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.
Does a Hillsboro address show that a property is inside the city limits?
Not by itself. The City of Hillsboro and Hill County are separate local units. Check the city limits map and the taxing units for the specific property address before relying on a city or county answer.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with the property address, what you know about the condition, who occupies the house, and your timing. A deed, lease, tax notice, payoff statement, lien notice, or foreclosure notice may help answer the next question, but you can call before you have every paper gathered.

Local help
Who handles a Hill County deed-record question?
The county clerk records deeds for the county where the property is located. Hill County places its County Courthouse in Hillsboro. Use the county's official site to find the right clerk information, and confirm the property's county and city limits for address-specific questions.
