The Same Process In Every Market, With Local Differences That Matter
Four things are identical whichever of these cities you are in. We buy with our own funds, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency for a sale to collapse at. There is no agent commission, because there is no agent. You are not asked to repair, clean or empty anything first. And closing happens at a title company on a date you choose, with Texas property taxes prorated to that date, since taxes here are billed in arrears rather than paid forward.
What changes is the local obstacle course, and it changes more than most sellers expect. On the coast, in Corpus Christi and down through Galveston County, the deciding factor is usually whether a windstorm insurer will write a policy on the roof, because a house that cannot be insured cannot be mortgaged. Across Dallas–Fort Worth the equivalent is hail, plus severed mineral interests that appear in Tarrant County title chains. In Fort Bend County it is clay soil and the foundation report that follows it. In West Texas it is roof life and distance. Along the border it is documentation: land divided within families, or a contract for deed that was never converted to a recorded deed.
That is why each city page below is written separately rather than being this page with a name swapped in. The process we run is the same everywhere. The reason your sale has stalled probably is not.
If your town is not on the list, it is still worth one call. The list reflects where we have pages, not the edge of where we buy.
