From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the College Station address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If ownership, an estate, a tenant, a mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, or 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 sale choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or another obligation. If a record, estate paper, or payoff is still unclear, you can begin with what you know while the right documents are identified.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out 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. If you decide to proceed, the title company handles the closing paperwork and confirms the final figures.
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.

The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 29 ↗ and Texas Legislative Council background ↗.
