Estimate what you could keep from a Tyler sale
Tyler, TX illustrative estimate
Tyler, TX illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
Start with your best estimate of what your house is worth. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.
Starting-value basis: Illustrative starting home value for Tyler, TX: $252,481. Editable planning estimate, not an appraisal.
See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Choose the question closest to yours
Selling a Tyler house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

Selling costs in Tyler: no real-estate transfer tax
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. The deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price, and cost more if the deed leaves out the buyer's mailing address. The current fee depends on the deed; contact the Smith County Clerk for the applicable recording information.
For example, a $300,000 sale has $0 in Texas real-estate transfer tax. The county's separate deed-recording charge still depends on the document and its pages, not the 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.

What Tyler sellers should know
Use the parcel, not just the place name
A comparison of the 2025 Census boundaries places incorporated Tyler in Smith County only. Lindale and Whitehouse are separate Smith County municipalities, not Tyler neighborhoods. A boundary comparison is not a parcel lookup, so use the property address when checking which county or local office handles a question.

Smith County records have separate routes
The County Clerk directory lists Probate, Official Public Records, and Land Records as separate functions. If you have an estate or recorded-document question, start with the directory and the exact property address. The listing helps you find an office; it does not establish title, probate venue, or who may sign.
For a tax-suit question, the District Clerk directory separately lists a Tax Suits Department. If you received a notice, keep it with the property papers and contact the office named on it to ask about that specific matter.

Questions about selling a house in Tyler
Can I sell a Tyler house without repairing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and condition so we can review the house as it stands.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax. A deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price, and are higher if the deed leaves out the buyer’s mailing address. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Which county handles a property in Tyler?
The 2025 Census boundary comparison places the incorporated City of Tyler in Smith County only. That city-boundary comparison is not a parcel lookup, so use the exact property address to confirm its county and local jurisdiction before relying on a county record or office.
Which Smith County office can I contact about estate or deed records?
The Smith County Clerk directory lists Probate, Official Public Records, and Land Records as separate functions. Use the directory or its Official Record Search to find the right route for your question; the directory does not determine who can sign for an estate or where a particular case belongs.
What if I received a Smith County tax-suit notice?
The Smith County District Clerk directory lists a Tax Suits Department. Use the contact route on the notice and the county directory to ask about that specific matter; a directory listing does not establish a parcel balance, deadline, case status, or sale date.
Can you review a tenant-occupied Tyler house?
Share the lease, rent and deposit information, access limits, notices, and possession expectations. Those details matter to a property review; this does not promise an eviction or a particular possession result.
What happens to insurance proceeds if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
You keep the insurance money and don’t have to worry about the house anymore — we’ll take care of it. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
