From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Beaumont address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, code notice, or foreclosure notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it sits, including repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We talk through the sale choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax balances, and the documents needed for closing. Keep the statements and notices you have available; you can begin with what you know while the remaining questions are sorted out.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Step 6: Decide whether to proceed and close
If you choose to proceed, the title company coordinates closing under the written terms. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell to us
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.

Texas closing details
No real-estate transfer tax; the deed still gets recorded
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing one on that kind of sale. The deed still has to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk; that recording is a separate paperwork step.
Read Article VIII, Section 29 of the Texas Constitution or the Texas Legislative Council's explanation of the provision.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
When the process gets difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
