How to Get Cash for Your Houston House

Getting cash for your house is simple. Here’s exactly how it works.

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Property

Call us at 713-379-4376 or fill out the quick form on our website. We’ll ask basic questions about your house. Where’s it located? How many bedrooms? What condition is it in?

The conversation takes about 5 minutes. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Step 2: We’ll Check Out Your House

We’ll schedule a time to see your property in person. Don’t worry about cleaning up or making it look perfect. We’ve seen it all. We’re looking at the house, not judging your housekeeping.

Can’t meet in person? Send us photos and we can work from those.

Step 3: Get Your Cash Offer in 24-48 Hours

After we see your house, you’ll get a written cash offer within 24-48 hours. A real number in writing. Not a maybe. Not a “we’ll get back to you.” An actual offer you can accept or reject.

Step 4: Pick Your Closing Date

If you accept our offer, you choose when you want to close. Need cash in 7 days? We can do that. Want 60 days to make moving arrangements? That works too.

On closing day, you sign the papers and get your money. Wire transfer, cashier’s check, however you want it.

Why Houston Homeowners Get Cash for Their Houses

Let’s talk about real situations where getting cash makes sense.

You Need Money Fast

Maybe you’re behind on medical bills. Maybe you lost your job. Maybe you need cash to handle a family emergency. When you need money quickly, waiting 90 days for a traditional sale doesn’t cut it.

Cash sales close in 1-2 weeks.

Your House Needs Expensive Repairs

Foundation cracks? Roof damage? Old plumbing? Outdated everything? Fixing all that could cost $30,000 or more. Plus weeks of dealing with contractors.

We buy Houston houses as-is. You don’t fix anything. We handle repairs after we buy.

You’re Avoiding Foreclosure

Behind on mortgage payments? The bank sending you scary letters? We’ve helped hundreds of Houston homeowners avoid foreclosure by buying their houses fast.

The cash from the sale pays off your mortgage. You walk away without foreclosure on your credit report.

You Inherited a House You Don’t Want

Got a property from a family member who passed away? Maybe it’s in rough shape. Maybe it’s across town and you don’t want to deal with it. Maybe there are multiple heirs and everyone just wants to split the cash.

We buy inherited houses throughout Houston and close fast so you can settle the estate.

You’re Done Being a Landlord

Tired of tenant calls at 2 AM? Done fixing toilets and dealing with late rent? Ready to be free from property management stress?

We buy rental properties with tenants still in place. You get cash, we take over the headaches.

You’re Going Through a Divorce

Splitting up is hard enough without fighting over a house. Selling for cash gives both of you your share quickly so you can move on with your lives.

Clean break. Fast cash. Done.

You Got a Job Transfer

Moving to Dallas, Austin, or out of state? Starting your new job next month? Traditional sales take 60-90 days minimum. We can close before your start date so you’re not stuck with two mortgages.

What Makes Our Cash Offers Fair

Some cash buyers lowball everyone with 40-50% offers. That’s not how we operate.

Here’s how we calculate fair offers for Houston houses:

We Look at Real Market Values

We check what similar houses in your neighborhood actually sold for recently. Not listing prices. Actual sale prices. Size, age, condition, and location all factor in.

We Estimate Repair Costs Honestly

If your house needs work, we figure out what those repairs will cost. Foundation repair in Houston runs $5,000-$30,000 depending on severity. New roof? $8,000-$15,000. Kitchen update? $15,000-$40,000.

We’re realistic about costs because we’re the ones paying for repairs after we buy.

We Factor in Our Holding Costs

While we own the house and make repairs, we’re paying property taxes, insurance, utilities, and HOA fees. In Houston, that runs $1,500-$3,000 per month depending on the property.

We Include 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 with ridiculous margins.

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

Cash Offers vs. Traditional Sales – The Real Numbers

Let’s break down what you actually net from each option.

Selling with a Real Estate Agent:

• Sale price: $300,000 (on a good day)
• Agent commission (6%): -$18,000
• Closing costs (2-3%): -$6,000 to $9,000
• Repairs before listing: -$15,000 to $30,000
• Staging: -$2,000
• Time on market: 60-90 days
• Mortgage payments during sale: -$3,000 to $4,500
• Property taxes: -$600 to $900
• Insurance: -$300 to $450
• Utilities: -$300 to $450
• Risk of sale falling through: 30% chance
• Net to you: $245,000-$255,000 (maybe)

Selling to Hero Homebuyers:

• Our cash offer: $255,000
• Commission fees: $0
• Closing costs: $0 (we pay them)
• Repairs: $0
• Staging: $0
• Time to close: 7-14 days
• Holding costs: $0
• Risk of falling through: 0%
• Net to you: $255,000 (guaranteed)

See how the numbers actually work out? Sometimes you net the same or more with cash, especially if your house needs work.

How Much Cash You’ll Get for Your Houston House

People always want to know the number.

Most legitimate cash buyers in Houston offer 60-85% of your home’s fair market value. Where you fall in that range depends on:

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

The neighborhood. Houses in The Heights, River Oaks, or Memorial get higher offers than properties in less desirable areas.

Current market conditions. Houston’s market changes. When inventory is low and buyers are competing, offers go up. When there are lots of houses for sale, they go down.

Your timeline. Need to close in 7 days? That might affect the offer slightly compared to a 60-day closing.

The property type. Single-family homes typically get better offers than condos or townhouses.

Here’s what we won’t do: waste your time with ridiculous lowball offers. If we can’t make a fair offer that works for you, we’ll tell you upfront. Sometimes selling traditionally makes more sense. We’ll be honest about that.

Red Flags to Watch for with Cash House Buyers

Not every cash buyer in Houston is legit. Here’s what to watch for:

Extremely Low Offers Without Explanation

If someone offers 40-50% of your home’s value and can’t justify the number, walk away. Even houses needing major work are worth more than that.

Ask for a breakdown. How did they calculate the offer? What repair costs are they using? What’s their profit margin? Legit buyers will explain the numbers.

Wholesalers Pretending to Be Buyers

Some people put your house under contract, then try to “assign” that contract to another buyer. You’re not selling to them. You’re selling to whoever they find.

This adds delays and uncertainty. Ask directly: “Are you the actual buyer, or are you going to assign this contract?”

No Proof of Funds

Anyone can say they have cash. Ask to see proof. Bank statements showing they have the money. A letter from their bank. Something that proves the cash exists.

If they can’t show proof of funds, they probably don’t have the cash.

Pressure to Sign Right Now

Legitimate buyers give you time to think, review the contract, and talk to family or an attorney. If someone pushes you to sign immediately, that’s a red flag.

We want you to be comfortable with the decision. Take a few days. Get other offers. Have your lawyer review everything. We’re not going anywhere.

Hidden Fees or Surprise Costs

Read your contract carefully. Some buyers try to stick you with “assignment fees,” “processing fees,” or closing costs.

We pay all closing costs. The offer we give you is what you get. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Assignment Clauses in the Contract

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

Our contracts don’t have assignment clauses. When we make you an offer, we’re the buyer. Period.

Why Houston’s Market Favors Cash Sales in 2025

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

Mortgage rates are still high. With rates above 6.5%, many traditional buyers can’t afford to buy. Cash buyers don’t care about interest rates. We’re not borrowing money.

More houses for sale means more competition. Houston’s inventory has increased. Your house is competing with more properties. If yours needs work, it’s fighting uphill against move-in ready homes.

Traditional sales take forever. Average time on market in Houston is 40-50 days. Then add another 30-45 days to close. That’s 70-95 days of mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Deals fall through constantly. About 30% of traditional sales fail. Usually because the buyer can’t get financing. Their loan gets denied, they can’t sell their current house, they lose their job. You’re back to square one.

Appraisals kill deals. Even if the buyer gets approved, the house has to appraise for the sale price. In Houston’s shifting market, appraisals come in low all the time. Then you’re renegotiating or starting over.

Cash sales don’t have these problems. No financing to fall through. No appraisal required. No waiting around hoping everything works out.

What Happens After We Buy Your Houston House

Once you accept our offer and we close, what’s next?

We pay off your mortgage. If you still owe money on the house, we handle the payoff at closing. The title company sends the money directly to your lender. You get whatever cash is left.

We pay off liens. Property tax liens, HOA liens, contractor liens, judgment liens. We work through all of that at closing. You walk away clean.

You get your cash. Most sellers choose wire transfer because the money hits your account the same day. You could also get a cashier’s check at closing.

You move forward with your life. Buy another house, rent an apartment, move to another city, or use the cash for whatever you need. You’re done with the property and all its problems.

Common Concerns About Getting Cash for Houses

Let’s address the questions people actually have.

How much cash will you actually give me for my Houston house?

We can’t give you a number without seeing your property first. Our offers typically range from 60-85% of fair market value, depending on condition and needed repairs. We’ll walk you through our calculations so you understand exactly how we got to the number. No obligation to accept.

How fast can I really get cash?

We can close in as little as 7 days if you need money that fast. Most people prefer 2-3 weeks to make moving arrangements. Some want 30-60 days. The timeline is completely up to you. We work on your schedule, not ours.

What if I owe more than my house is worth?

This is called being “underwater” on your mortgage. It’s tricky, but sometimes we can help. If you’re close to even, we might be able to work with your bank on a short sale. Call us and let’s talk through your specific numbers. We’ve dealt with underwater mortgages before.

Do you really buy houses in any condition?

Yes. Foundation cracks, roof damage, fire damage, flood damage, mold, hoarder situations, code violations, Hurricane Harvey damage. We’ve bought them all in Houston. The condition affects our offer price, but it doesn’t stop us from buying. We’ve purchased homes 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 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 lied about the property’s condition.

How do I know you’re legit and 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 on Google and Facebook
• Ask for references from people we’ve bought houses from
• Request proof of funds showing we have the cash
• Have your attorney review our purchase agreement
• Check our BBB rating

We welcome any due diligence you want to do. We’re proud of our reputation.

What 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. Not all cash offers are created equal.
