From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
Tell us the address, condition, who is living there, access, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know; you do not need every answer before the first conversation.
2. Read the written offer and terms
We review the house and your situation, then give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, and costs, and ask questions before signing.
3. Let the title company check the file
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and ownership, confirms who needs to sign, and works through mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any current statements or notices you have; unknown details can be identified as the file is reviewed.
4. Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet breaks down the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the money scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
5. Sign and close through the title company
If you decide to go ahead, the title company coordinates the closing papers and settlement.
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.

Corpus Christi and county records
Confirm the county for the actual property
The 2026 U.S. Census city-boundary geometry intersects Nueces, Kleberg, San Patricio, and Aransas Counties. That is boundary context only: it does not identify a particular parcel's county, mailing address, city jurisdiction, or court venue. Check the property records and the responsible county office before relying on county-specific records or notices. You can start the sale conversation with the property address before that question is settled.

Transfer tax, recording fees, and what you keep
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the applicable county clerk. The clerk charges a recording fee by the page, not by the sale price, and charges more if a 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.

Questions about how selling works
Can I start before I have every property detail figured out?
Yes. Start with the address and what you know about condition, access, occupancy, ownership, and timing. You can ask questions while the remaining details are sorted out.
What does the title company review?
The title company reviews ownership and the deed, who needs to sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, tax items, and the closing documents.
Which county has the records for a Corpus Christi property?
The 2026 Census city-boundary geometry intersects Nueces, Kleberg, San Patricio, and Aransas Counties. That boundary overlay does not identify the county or court for a particular parcel. Confirm the actual parcel and responsible county before relying on county-specific records or notices.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The deed still must be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
What happens if there are bumps in 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.
