Estimate what you could keep
Abilene, TX illustrative estimate
Abilene home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
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.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. 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.

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. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.
Selling a house in Texas
Inherited house
Can you sell an inherited Texas house before the estate is finished? Often, yes, once the right person has the legal power to sign. Under Texas law, a person's property passes at death to the people named in the will, or to the heirs if there is no will. It is still subject to the person's debts. Who signs the deed depends on how the estate is handled. In an independent administration, the executor or administrator can sell without asking the judge first. That power starts when the court issues letters, which are the proof a title company asks for. A buyer who is not an heir or beneficiary and deals in good faith with the independent executor or administrator is protected if the will grants the executor a power of sale, the appointment order grants a power of sale, or the executor or administrator records a sworn affidavit that the sale is necessary or advisable for a purpose allowed by the statute. In a dependent administration, the court stays in charge. The house can't be sold without a court order, and the judge must approve the sale before the deed is signed. If there is a will and the only unpaid debts are the mortgage or other liens on real estate, the court may admit the will as a "muniment of title." No executor is appointed, and the court's order lets the people named in the will deal with the property. That generally must be requested within four years of the death. If there is no will, the heirs can agree to have an independent administrator appointed and can agree to give that person the power to sell. If there is no probate at all, the heirs usually all sign the deed, and the title company decides what proof of heirship it needs, such as an affidavit of heirship. Any mortgage or other liens are paid off from the sale at closing. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Foreclosure
Can you still sell your Texas house in foreclosure? Often, yes, if your sale closes before the foreclosure sale. In Texas, a lender usually forecloses on a home without going to court. This is called a non-judicial foreclosure sale, and a trustee or substitute trustee runs it. For property used as your residence, the loan servicer must first send a written notice of default by certified mail. It must give you at least 20 days to catch up before a sale can be noticed. Then, at least 21 days before the sale, the notice of sale must be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk and sent by certified mail to each borrower. The sale is a public auction at the county courthouse, usually on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. It must start no later than three hours after the time stated in the notice. Some foreclosures go through court instead, and those follow different steps. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Code §51.002); Texas State Law Library, Foreclosure: The Sale (first Tuesday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., three-hour rule, trustee runs non-judicial sales); Taylor County, Foreclosure Information (first-Tuesday auction under §51.002)
Tenants
Can you sell a Texas rental house with tenants living in it? Yes. A sale doesn't cancel the lease. The buyer becomes the new landlord. Under Texas law, the new owner is responsible for returning security deposits from the day it gets title. The new owner must also give each tenant a signed statement saying it has bought the property and is responsible for the deposit, and stating the exact dollar amount. As the seller, you stay responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. So it's smart to credit deposits to the buyer at closing. A month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent can be ended by either side with notice. It ends on the later of the date in the notice or one month after the notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period. Have copies of every lease and deposit record ready for closing.

Texas real estate transfer tax
Does Texas charge a tax when you sell your house? No. Texas has no state, county or city real estate transfer tax. Since 2015, the Texas Constitution has said that after January 1, 2016, no law may be enacted that imposes a transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The state's Legislative Council explains that this effectively bars a sales tax on selling real property. What Texas does require is paperwork. The deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the 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.

VIII, §29, no new transfer tax on conveying fee simple title; Texas Legislative Council, analyses of 2025 proposed amendments (background on §29); Taylor County Clerk, recording requirements; Taylor County Clerk, recording fees effective January 1, 2024; Potter County Clerk, recording fee sheet
Code violations and sale requirements
Can you sell a Texas house with code violations? We buy houses with open orders and court cases. Texas cities enforce rules on things like tall grass and weeds, junk, trash and dangerous or substandard buildings. Usually the city sends a notice with a deadline. If the owner doesn't fix the problem, the city can issue a citation, or hire someone to do the work and bill the owner. To collect that cost, the city can file a lien with the county clerk. A lien stays with the property until it is paid, so it is usually paid off from the sale at closing. For a substandard building, the owner may be told to repair or tear it down, though selling the property is also an option. Tell us what's going on and we'll work through it with you. Send us any notices you've received so the title company can check for liens and open orders. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
