Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Compare the written price and terms with the costs and amounts due for your house. A Cash Offer is a direct purchase; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. The comparison below lays out the two options, and the calculator lets you compare estimated net proceeds for different sale paths.

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. See the Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison below.
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
Jacksonville seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Jacksonville house without fixing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can ask about the house as it stands, including damage or an open code notice.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
How can I compare the sale price with what I might keep?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written numbers with costs and amounts due for your property, then look at estimated net proceeds instead of the headline price alone.
Does Texas charge a real estate transfer tax, and who pays closing costs?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. 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 house while it is in foreclosure in Texas?
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. 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.
Who can sign when I sell an inherited Texas house?
Often, the appointed executor or administrator can sell in an independent administration after the court issues appointment letters. The will, appointment order, and any required proof of sale authority matter. In a dependent administration, a court order and the judge’s approval are needed 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.
Can I sell a Jacksonville rental house with a tenant living there?
Yes. A sale does not cancel the lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord. Texas law makes the new owner responsible for returning security deposits from the day it gets title. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise.
Can I call before I have every document gathered?
Yes. You can call before every paper is in hand. Start with the Jacksonville property address, what you know about the house, and the question or timing you are working through. We can talk through what matters as the conversation moves forward.
