To compare the two ways we buy, jump to the existing Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison.
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 about selling in Killeen
What will I keep if I sell my Killeen house for cash?
Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and property payoffs, not just the headline price. Compare a written price with a realistic listing plan after repairs, commissions, concessions, and the cost of carrying the house. The actual numbers depend on the property and written terms; your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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 will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
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. The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk; recording fees are based on page count, not sale price. 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 still sell my Texas house if foreclosure is underway?
Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In Texas, a lender usually forecloses without going to court; a trustee or substitute trustee conducts the sale. For a home used as your residence, the servicer must first send written notice of default 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, the notice must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk, and sent by certified mail to each borrower. The public 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.
Do I need every document ready before I ask a question?
No. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and any notice or timing you are dealing with. You can call before you have every paper gathered or have decided how to sell.
