From the property conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Laredo address, condition, who lives there, and any timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every question about title, payoffs, or paperwork is settled.
Talk through the property as it is
We discuss condition, access, occupancy, repairs, and what you need the sale to address. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Review 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.
Work through title and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax items, and closing documents. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a claim for money against the property. You can begin the conversation before these details are all settled.
Review the settlement sheet and close
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. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Compare the written numbers
Two ways to sell to us: Cash Offer or EZ Sale
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.

Laredo and Webb County details
Check the property’s jurisdiction and deed records
The City of Laredo and Webb County have separate boundaries. Webb County Planning’s map book includes a City of Laredo corporate-limits map for orientation, but it does not determine a particular parcel’s status. If a city rule or service matters to the sale, check the exact address with the relevant office. Open Webb County Planning’s map book ↗.
The Webb County Clerk keeps official county records, including deeds and other property records. The title company checks the records and documents needed for your sale. Webb County Clerk records and services ↗.
Before the signatures
Understand the closing numbers
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership. The Texas Constitution bars new transfer-tax laws for these sales.
The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price; ask the title company to confirm the current Webb County fee for your deed. Read the Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 29 ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
A settlement sheet shows the price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
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.

Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
