Your 7-day timeline
When a house has to sell fast, the worst part is not knowing what happens next. So here is the plan, day by day. These are target paces, not guarantees. A clean title and available signers make the schedule work. Surprises on either one slow it down, and we will tell you when that happens.
- Day 0: You send the address. Enter it in the form above. Answer a few quick questions about the house and why you are selling. It takes about two minutes.
- Day 1: Your written offer. We compare your house to recent Houston sales and price the repairs. You get a written cash offer, and we explain how we got the number.
- Days 2 to 3: Walkthrough and agreement. If we need to see the inside, we set a short visit at a time that works for you. You accept, we sign a purchase agreement, and the title company opens the file.
- Days 3 to 6: Title and escrow. The title company searches the title, confirms the payoff and any liens, and prepares closing papers. This is the step where surprises show up, so we check early.
- Day 7: Cash at closing. You sign, hand over the keys, and get paid. Remove anything you want and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout.
Read the full version on our how it works page. If you need more time than 7 days, say so. The schedule bends to what you need.

Fast cash sale vs. listing on the open market
If speed is the priority, here is how the two routes differ on the things that eat time.
| Feature | Listing With an Agent | Houston Sell My House Fast |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Often 30 to 90 days or more, from listing to funding | Target of 7 days, on your schedule |
| Showings and open houses | Many, on the buyer's calendar | None |
| Agent commissions | Paid out of your sale price | None |
| Repairs and cleaning | Buyers and inspectors push for fixes or credits | None. We buy as-is |
| Financing falls through | A real risk when the buyer needs a mortgage | Cash purchase, no lender to lose |
| Who picks the closing date | The buyer and their lender | You do |
| Sale price | Often higher if the house is in good shape | Lower than a repaired retail sale, with fewer costs and far less waiting |
How we calculate your offer
We start with what homes like yours sell for in your part of Houston when they are fixed up and listed. Then we subtract what it would cost to bring yours to that level: roof, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, flooring, kitchens and baths, foundation, and anything storm or flood related. Then we leave room for the carrying costs and risk of owning the house while we do the work and resell it.
Here is the honest trade-off. A cash offer is usually below what the same house could bring after repairs on the open market. That gap is the price of speed and certainty. What you get back is the commission you do not pay, the repairs you do not fund, the months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities you do not carry, and the deal that cannot collapse because a buyer's loan fell through.
We will walk you through the math if you ask. You should never wonder where a number came from, and you should feel free to compare it to what an agent tells you. If listing nets you more and you have the time, we will say that.
Why speed matters
A sale that takes 90 days is not just slow. It is expensive. Every month you hold a Houston house, you still owe the mortgage, the property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and the utilities, and that is before lawn care, repairs, and flood or wind coverage questions. On a vacant house, those costs run while nobody lives there.
Job relocation
Houston is a big job market, and moves happen fast. An energy, medical, or port job that starts in three weeks does not leave time for a three-month listing. Paying a mortgage here while you rent somewhere else is a double bill that gets old quickly.
Foreclosure clocks
Texas foreclosures are non-judicial and move on a short, fixed schedule. A lender must give notice before a sale, and sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month. If you have a notice, time matters. Selling before the sale date can protect your credit and may let you walk away with equity instead of nothing. Talk to a Texas real estate attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor too. We are not a substitute for either.
A pending closing that fell apart
Buyer financing dies, an appraisal comes in low, or an inspection list gets long, and the deal you were counting on is gone with a closing date still looming. A cash buyer can step in with no loan and no appraisal gap.
Inherited or empty houses
A house that passed to you is a cost center on day one. Taxes keep coming, the insurer may want it occupied, and the yard grows. If the title is in order, a fast sale ends the bills. If you are still working through probate, ask your attorney who has authority to sign and what the court needs before a sale.
Storm and flood damage
After a hard Gulf storm or a flooded street, a house can sit damaged while the owner waits on insurance and contractors. Many owners would rather sell as-is and move on than manage a long rebuild. You do not have to repair anything first. Tell us what happened, send photos if you can, and we will price it as it stands.
Houses we buy in the Houston area
Speed only works if we are willing to take the house as it is. We buy single family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes, and small rentals across greater Houston. They can be outdated, damaged, full of belongings, tenant-occupied, or empty.
- Houses that need work. Old roofs, tired A/C systems, plumbing problems, foundation movement, and kitchens untouched in decades.
- Storm, flood, and fire damage. Water lines on the walls, torn out drywall, roof leaks, and houses mid-rebuild.
- Tenant-occupied rentals. We can buy with the tenant in place or vacant.
- Houses with liens or back taxes. The title company pays what is owed from the proceeds when the price covers it.
- Inherited houses. From a parent's long-held home to a house in another city you never planned to own.
- Houses in good shape. If you simply need the money and the time, that is a fine reason too.
If your property is not on the list, send the address anyway. We would rather say yes or no in a day than leave you guessing.
Selling fast in a spread-out city
Houston does not behave like a compact city. It spreads across Harris County and bleeds into Fort Bend, Brazoria, Montgomery, and Galveston counties. A house on the east side near the Ship Channel, a 1980s home in Sugar Land, a new build in Katy, and a ranch near Humble all have different buyers, different repair profiles, and different timelines. A one-size-fits-all number does not work, so we price each address from nearby sales.
Houston also has its own wrinkles that can slow a normal listing. Many suburban subdivisions sit inside municipal utility districts that add a tax line and a notice to the closing file. Homeowners associations may need to produce a resale certificate. Flood zone status affects what insurance costs and what lenders will accept. A buyer using a mortgage has to clear all of that, plus an appraisal. A cash buyer can work around most of it, which is a large part of why the schedule on this page is realistic.
We make offers across the metro. See the pages for Pasadena, Pearland, Sugar Land, and Katy, or go straight to the full areas we serve list.
What to have ready
You do not need to prepare the house. It helps to know the address, whether anyone lives there, the general condition, and whether there is a mortgage or lien. A recent tax bill and a mortgage statement make the title work faster. If the property belongs to an estate, know who has legal authority to sign. If you are missing some of this, tell us what you do know and we will sort out the rest.
What we will not do
We will not ask you for money. We will not pressure you to sign on the first call. We will not promise a number we cannot back up. If another route is better for you, such as a listing, a loan modification, or a conversation with an attorney, we will say so. A fair offer is still fair tomorrow, so take the time you need to read it.

Houston fast-sale questions
How fast can you really close on a Houston house?
Our target pace is as few as 7 days from the day you send the address to cash at closing. That is a target, not a guarantee. The pace depends on the title company, on whether the title is clean, and on whether everyone who has to sign is available. A straightforward house with one owner and no liens can move fast. A house with an estate, a lien, or a missing signature takes longer, and we will tell you that up front.
How quickly will I get an offer?
Our target is a written offer within 24 hours of getting your address and a few answers about the property. If we need photos or a short walkthrough to be fair, we will ask right away so the clock keeps moving. We do not send a number we cannot stand behind just to hit a deadline.
Do I pay commissions or closing costs?
You do not pay us a commission, a fee, or a service charge. Closing costs and who pays what are written into the purchase agreement before you sign, so nothing is a surprise at the title company. Your own payoff, taxes owed, and any liens come out of the proceeds at closing, and the title company shows you every line.
Can I pick my own closing date?
Yes. If you need to close in a week, we aim for that. If you need three weeks to move out, or you want to close after the school year ends, tell us and we will build it into the agreement. The date is something we set with you.
What do I need to have ready to close in 7 days?
Have the address, a photo ID, your most recent mortgage statement if there is a loan, and your latest property tax bill. If an estate is involved, have the court paperwork or your attorney's contact. If a spouse or co-owner is on the title, they need to be available to sign. Texas homestead rules often make a spouse's signature matter even when only one name is on the deed, so ask us early.
Is a cash offer lower than listing with an agent?
Usually, yes. A cash offer is typically below what a fully repaired house could bring on the open market, because we take on repairs, risk, and holding costs. What you give up in price you get back in time and certainty: no commissions, no repair bills, no showings, no buyer loan that can fall through. If your house is in great shape and you can wait several months, listing may net more, and we will say so.
What can I do to get my house to sell fast on the open market?
Price it at what recent nearby sales support, not at what you hope for. Fix the cheap, visible things first, like paint, lighting, and landscaping. Clear clutter so the rooms look big. Get professional photos. Be flexible on showings. Overpricing is the most common reason a house sits, and every week on the market makes buyers wonder what is wrong with it. If the clock matters more than the last dollar, a cash sale skips all of that.
Are Houston home prices dropping?
It depends on the neighborhood, the price range, and the month, and nobody can promise you where prices go next. Look at what homes near yours actually sold for in the last few months, not at asking prices or headlines. If your area is softening, that is one more reason a sale on a short timeline can be worth weighing, because every month of waiting costs you a mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
What if I am behind on payments or there is a lien on the house?
Tell us. A late mortgage, a tax lien, or a contractor lien does not automatically stop a sale. The title company pays what is owed out of the proceeds at closing, as long as the sale price covers it. If the amount owed is higher than what a sale would bring, talk to a Texas real estate attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor before you decide anything.
What happens if closing takes longer than 7 days?
Nothing bad. The 7 days is our target, not a trap. If the title company finds a cloud on the title, a signer is out of town, or an estate needs a court step, the closing date moves and we tell you why and what is left to do. Your price does not change just because the calendar did, unless the condition or the title turns out different from what you described.
