Get Cash for Your Home in Houston, TX – Fast, Fair, Simple

Need cash for your home right now? You’re in the right place.

Hero Homebuyers puts real money in your hands for Houston properties in any condition. We’re talking actual cash, not promises or maybe-later financing. You could have money from your home sale in as little as 7 days.

Here’s the deal. We buy your house directly. No agents, no banks, no waiting around for someone else’s mortgage approval. Just a straightforward cash transaction that gets you paid fast.

How Getting Cash for Your Home Works

Forget the complicated stuff. Getting cash for your Houston home takes three simple steps.

Step 1: Contact Us About Your Property

Call us or fill out our quick form online. Tell us about your house. We’ll ask basic questions like the address, number of bedrooms, and what condition it’s in. Takes about 5 minutes.

No pressure. No sales pitch.

Step 2: Get Your Cash Offer Within 24-48 Hours

We’ll come see your property (or you can send photos if that’s easier). After we take a look, you’ll get a written cash offer within 24-48 hours.

That’s it. A real number in writing. Not “we’ll think about it” or “let us get back to you.” An actual cash offer you can accept or decline.

Step 3: Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid

Want to close in 7 days? Done. Need 30 or 60 days? That works too. You choose when you want your cash.

On closing day, you sign the paperwork and walk out with your money. Wire transfer, cashier’s check, however you want it.

Why Houston Homeowners Choose Cash Sales

Let’s be honest about why people want cash for their homes.

You Get Money Fast

Traditional sales take 60-90 days minimum. That’s if everything goes right. With cash, you’re looking at 1-2 weeks if you need it fast. The money hits your account, and you’re done.

No Repair Costs

Broken AC? Leaky roof? Foundation cracks? Don’t fix anything. We buy Houston homes exactly as they sit. That saves you thousands in repair bills and weeks of contractor headaches.

Zero Agent Commissions

Real estate agents charge 6% in commissions. On a $300,000 house, that’s $18,000 gone. With us, you keep that money. We don’t charge commissions or fees.

No Deal Fall-Throughs

About 30% of traditional sales fall apart, usually because the buyer’s financing fails. Cash sales don’t have that problem. No bank approval needed means no last-minute surprises.

You Can Leave Stuff Behind

Moving is exhausting. If there’s furniture, old appliances, or junk you don’t want, just leave it. We’ll handle the cleanup after you’re gone.

Avoid Foreclosure

Behind on mortgage payments? We can often close fast enough to help you avoid foreclosure. That protects your credit and gives you cash to start fresh somewhere else.

Who Needs Cash for Their Home in Houston

We work with Houston homeowners in all kinds of situations.

Inherited a House You Don’t Want

Got a property from a family member’s estate? You might not want to keep it or deal with it. We buy inherited homes throughout Houston, giving you cash so you can settle the estate and move on.

Going Through a Divorce

Splitting up is hard enough without fighting over a house. Selling for cash lets both of you get your share quickly and close that chapter.

Job Relocation or Military Orders

Moving to Austin, Dallas, or out of state? We can close before your start date so you’re not stuck paying two mortgages.

Tired Landlords

Done dealing with tenant problems, maintenance calls, and property management stress? We buy rental properties with or without tenants in place.

Medical Bills Piling Up

Healthcare costs can drain your savings fast. Getting cash from your home can help you pay those bills and reduce financial stress.

Behind on Property Taxes

Owe back taxes to Harris County? We can pay off tax liens at closing and give you the remaining cash. This keeps the county from seizing your property at auction.

House Damaged by Flooding or Storms

Houston gets hit hard by hurricanes and tropical storms. If your home has flood damage, we’ll buy it as-is. You don’t have to file insurance claims or wait for repairs.

Foundation Problems

Houston’s clay soil causes serious foundation issues. Traditional buyers walk away when they see foundation cracks. We don’t. We factor repair costs into our offer and buy anyway.

What Makes Our Cash Offers Fair

Some cash buyers lowball everyone. We don’t play that game.

Here’s how we calculate fair offers:

We Check Current Market Values

We look at what similar homes in your Houston neighborhood sold for recently. Size, age, and location all matter.

We Estimate Repair Costs Honestly

If your house needs work, we figure out what those repairs will actually cost. Foundation work, roof replacement, updating kitchens – we factor it all in.

We Consider Our Costs

While we fix the property, we’re paying taxes, insurance, utilities, and carrying costs. These expenses affect our offer.

We Build in a Reasonable Profit

We’re running a business. We need to make money when we eventually resell. But we’re not trying to rip you off.

The result? A fair cash offer that works for both of us. You get quick money without hassles. We get a property we can work with.

Understanding Cash Offers vs. Traditional Sales

Let’s compare so you can see the real difference.

Traditional Sale with an Agent:

• List price might be higher
• Minus 6% agent commission ($18,000 on $300,000)
• Minus 2-3% closing costs ($6,000-$9,000)
• Minus repair costs ($10,000-$30,000+)
• Minus holding costs during 60-90 days on market ($3,000-$5,000)
• Risk of sale falling through (30% chance)
• Net proceeds: Often less than you’d think

Cash Sale with Hero Homebuyers:

• Offer might be 70-85% of market value
• Zero commission fees
• Zero closing costs (we pay them)
• Zero repair costs
• Zero holding costs (close in 7-14 days)
• Zero risk of deal falling through
• Net proceeds: What we offer is what you get

Honestly? Sometimes you net more cash with us than going the traditional route, especially if your house needs work.

How Much Cash You’ll Actually Get

People always want to know this number.

Most cash buyers in Houston offer 60-80% of your home’s fair market value. Where you fall in that range depends on:

Your home’s condition. A house that needs $50,000 in repairs gets a lower offer than one needing $10,000.

The neighborhood. Properties in The Heights or Memorial get higher offers than homes in less desirable areas.

Current market conditions. When buyers are competing, offers go up. When inventory is high, they go down.

How fast you need to close. Need cash in 7 days? That might affect the offer slightly compared to a 60-day closing.

Here’s what we won’t do: We won’t waste your time with ridiculous lowball offers. If we can’t make a fair offer that works for you, we’ll tell you upfront.

Red Flags to Watch for with Cash Buyers

Not every cash buyer in Houston operates honestly. Here’s what to watch for:

Extremely Low Offers Without Justification

If someone offers 40-50% of your home’s value and can’t explain why, walk away. Even distressed properties are worth more than that.

Wholesalers Pretending to Be Buyers

Some people put your property under contract, then try to sell that contract to someone else. This adds delays and uncertainty. Ask directly: “Are you the actual buyer?”

No Proof of Funds

Anyone can say they have cash. Ask to see bank statements or a proof of funds letter. If they can’t show you the money exists, move on.

Pressure to Sign Immediately

Legitimate buyers give you time to think and review contracts. If someone pushes you to sign right now, that’s a bad sign.

Hidden Fees or Closing Costs

Read your contract carefully. Some buyers try to stick you with fees or closing costs. We pay all closing costs ourselves.

Assignment Clauses in Contracts

This lets them sell your contract to someone else. You want a direct sale, not a middleman situation.

Why Houston’s Market Favors Cash Sales Right Now

Houston’s real estate market has changed. Here’s why more homeowners choose cash in 2025.

Mortgage rates are still high. With rates above 6.5%, many buyers can’t afford traditional financing. Cash buyers don’t care about interest rates.

More inventory means more competition. With more homes for sale, yours needs to stand out. Houses needing work struggle to compete with move-in ready properties.

Traditional sales take longer. Average time on market in Houston is 40-50 days. That’s 40-50 days of mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities.

Financing falls through constantly. Nearly 1 in 3 traditional sales fail because buyers can’t get approved. Cash eliminates that risk entirely.

What Happens After You Get Your Cash

Once we close and you have your money, what’s next?

Pay off your mortgage. If you still owe on the house, we handle the payoff at closing. You get whatever’s left.

Pay off liens. Property tax liens, HOA liens, contractor liens – we can work through all of that at closing.

Get your cash. Most sellers choose wire transfer because it’s fastest. The money typically hits your account the same day we close.

Move forward with your life. Whether you’re buying another house, moving to an apartment, relocating for work, or just need the cash for other things – you’re free to do whatever comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cash for Homes

How much cash will you offer for my Houston house?

We can’t give you a number without seeing your property first. Our offers typically range from 60-80% of fair market value, depending on condition and repairs needed. We’ll explain exactly how we calculated your offer so you understand the numbers. There’s no obligation to accept.

How fast can I actually get cash?

We can close in as little as 7-10 days if you need money that fast. Most people prefer 2-3 weeks to make moving arrangements. The timeline is completely up to you. We’ve closed deals in 5 days and others in 90 days based on what the seller needed.

What if I owe more on my mortgage than the house is worth?

That’s called being “underwater” on your mortgage. It’s tricky, but sometimes we can still help. We might be able to work with your lender on a short sale, or if you’re close to even, we can figure something out. Call us and let’s talk through your specific numbers.

Do you really buy houses in any condition?

Yes. Foundation cracks, roof damage, fire damage, flood damage, mold, hoarder situations, code violations – we’ve bought them all. The condition affects our offer price, but it doesn’t stop us from buying. We’ve purchased homes in Houston that other buyers refused to even look at.

Will you lower your offer after seeing my house?

The offer we give you in writing is what you’ll get at closing. We don’t play the renegotiation game that some companies do. Once we inspect your property and make an offer, that’s our final number. The only exception would be if you hid major problems or misrepresented the property’s condition.

How do I know you’re not a scam?

Smart question. Here’s how to verify we’re legitimate: Check our business license with the Texas Real Estate Commission. Read reviews from past clients. Ask for references from people we’ve bought houses from. Request proof of funds showing we actually have the cash. Have your attorney review our purchase agreement. We welcome any due diligence you want to do.

What happens if someone else offers me more money?

Take it. Seriously. We want you to get the best deal possible. If someone makes you a better offer, we’ll be happy for you. Just make sure to read their contract carefully and verify they’re legitimate before signing anything.
