FAQ — Selling Your House for Cash in Texas | Cash for Your House

Question 1

How does selling my house for cash work?

Accepted Answer

The process is simple. You fill out our short form or call us with your property details. We review the information and make you a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, we open escrow with a local title company, complete a quick walkthrough, and close on a date you choose — often in as few as 7 days. You receive your cash at closing with no surprises.

Question 2

Do I have to make repairs before selling?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We buy houses in any condition — foundation issues, roof damage, outdated kitchens, fire damage, water damage, or simply a home that needs updating. We handle all repairs after closing, so you can sell your home exactly as it is today without spending a single dollar on fixes.

Question 3

Are there any fees or commissions?

Accepted Answer

No. When you sell to Cash for Your House, there are zero realtor commissions, zero closing fees, and zero hidden charges. The cash offer we make is the amount you receive at closing. Traditional home sales typically cost sellers 5–8% in commissions and fees — with us, you keep every dollar of your offer.

Question 4

How fast can you close?

Accepted Answer

We can close in as few as 7 days once you accept our offer. If you need more time — to find a new home, coordinate a move, or handle other logistics — we can also close on a date weeks or months in the future. The timeline is entirely up to you.

Question 5

How do you determine your cash offer?

Accepted Answer

We evaluate your home based on its current condition, location, comparable sales in your area, and the estimated cost of any repairs or updates needed. We aim to make fair offers that reflect the real value of your home. Our offers are straightforward — no lowballing, no bait-and-switch.

Question 6

Will you buy my house if it's in foreclosure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in helping homeowners facing foreclosure. If you sell your home before the foreclosure auction, you can pay off your mortgage, protect your credit score, and potentially walk away with cash if you have equity. Time is critical in foreclosure situations — contact us as soon as possible so we have enough time to close before the auction date.

Question 7

Can you buy an inherited or probate property?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly purchase inherited homes and properties going through probate. We understand the legal and emotional complexities involved and work at your pace. Whether the estate is still in probate or the title has already transferred to you, we can help you understand your options and make a fair cash offer.

Question 8

Do I need to be present at closing?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Closing can often be handled remotely through a title company, with documents signed via mail or electronic signature. We work with reputable Texas title companies to make the process as convenient as possible for you.

Question 9

What types of properties do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy all types of residential properties in Texas including single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, and vacant land. We purchase properties in any condition — move-in ready, fixer-uppers, fire-damaged, flood-damaged, or anything in between.

Question 10

Is there any obligation when I request an offer?

Accepted Answer

None at all. Requesting a cash offer from Cash for Your House is completely free and comes with zero obligation. We'll make you an offer, and you decide whether to accept it. There's no pressure, no hard sell, and no fees if you decide not to move forward.

Question 11

What areas of Texas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We buy homes throughout Texas including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, Corpus Christi, Plano, Laredo, and all surrounding communities. If your property is in Texas, we want to make you an offer.

Question 12

How is a cash offer different from listing with a realtor?

Accepted Answer

When you list with a realtor, you typically wait 30–90 days for a buyer, pay 5–6% in commissions, make repairs to attract buyers, and risk deals falling through due to financing. When you sell to Cash for Your House, you get a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours, close in as few as 7 days, pay zero commissions or fees, and sell as-is with no repairs. It's faster, simpler, and more certain.
