What the numbers mean
A market measure is not a price for your house
A broad figure is only a starting point. Condition, repair needs, whether tenants live there, access to the house, and your timing can change the comparison for your particular property. A town-wide figure does not price your house.
Compare the work and costs of listing with a direct as-is sale. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tenants, lease terms, access, and the date you need to move can still matter when you compare the choices.
Local selling costs
Texas real estate transfer tax
Texas has no state, county, or city real estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. You can leave a real estate transfer-tax percentage out of this part of your McAllen selling-cost comparison.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 29: transfer-tax restriction →
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with money left after costs
The sale price is the gross amount, not what remains after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout if you list, listing costs, other selling costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting. Back taxes, liens, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise.
The calculator lets you change the assumptions for your comparison. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Does a McAllen, TX market figure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market-wide measure is context for its stated place and period, not a price for your address. Condition, repair needs, occupancy, and timing can change the comparison for your house.
Does Texas charge a real estate transfer tax when I sell?
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.
Is the sale price the amount I will keep?
No. The sale price is the gross amount. What remains depends on costs such as mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout if you list, listing costs, other settlement costs, and bills while you wait. Use the McAllen calculator to adjust your planning assumptions.
Can I sell a McAllen house as-is if it needs work or has tenants?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Repairs, occupancy, access, and your timing can still affect how the sale options compare.
