General Questions
Who are CTX Cash Home Buyers?
We are a Texas cash home buying company with years of experience helping homeowners sell their houses quickly and with confidence. Through our extensive background in real estate and a broad network of trusted investors, we’re able to evaluate homes accurately and present competitive cash offers. This network allows us to find the right solution for each property while keeping the process simple, honest, and stress-free for homeowners.
What if I’m not ready to sell my house yet?
That’s completely okay. Many homeowners reach out simply to learn their options. As a Texas cash home buying company, we’re happy to answer questions, explain how a cash sale works, and provide information—without any pressure to move forward.
You can request a free, no-obligation cash offer now and take your time reviewing it. There’s no commitment, and you’re welcome to come back weeks or even months later if selling becomes the right choice.
Our goal is to help you feel informed and confident, whether you decide to sell now, later, or not at all.
What information do you need to give me an offer for my home?
We’ll collect a few simple details about your home to make sure our cash offer is fair and tailored to your property. This can include things like:
- Your preferred timeframe for selling
- Property condition and any known issues
- Length of ownership
- Why you’re considering selling
How are you able to purchase houses in cities and towns all over Texas?
Our strong connections with investors and private partners across Texas allow us to assist homeowners statewide. Because of these partnerships, we can offer fast cash solutions and make sure every transaction closes as easily and smoothly as possible.
What kinds of properties do you buy?
We buy almost any type of residential property in Texas. Whether your home is move-in ready, needs repairs, or has been sitting vacant, we can help. Some of the properties we commonly purchase include:
- Single-family homes
- Condos and townhomes
- Inherited or probate properties
- Rental or investment properties
- Distressed or damaged homes
- Homes facing foreclosure or other financial challenges
No matter the condition or situation, we offer fair cash offers and make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. You don’t need to clean, repair, or stage your home—we buy it as-is.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 4+ months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
Am I required to accept your offer?
Not at all. We believe trust comes first. You are never obligated to accept our offer, and we’re happy to answer questions even if you decide not to sell.
Do I need to clean or repair my house before selling?
Nope! We buy homes as-is, which means you don’t have to worry about cleaning, fixing, or updating anything. Whether your home needs minor repairs, major renovations, or just a little TLC, we can make a fair cash offer without you spending a dime. You can even leave behind unwanted items—our team takes care of it. Our goal is to make selling your house simple, stress-free, and convenient.
Can you help if I’m dealing with a difficult situation like foreclosure, probate, or divorce?
Absolutely. We understand that life can throw unexpected challenges your way. Many homeowners reach out to us when facing foreclosure, probate, divorce, job relocations, or other stressful situations. As a Texas cash home buying company, our goal is to provide a fast, reliable solution that reduces stress and gives you control. We’ll explore flexible options, answer your questions, and work with you to find a solution that feels right—always with no pressure or obligation.
Offers & Pricing
How do you determine your cash offers?
Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very transparent. We carefully assess the location of the property, required repairs, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses recently sold in Austin. By analyzing all these factors, we determine a fair price that aligns with market trends and meets your expectations as a homeowner.
Can I expect a fair cash offer for my home?
Absolutely. As a Texas cash home buying company, we understand how important it is for homeowners to feel confident in the value of their home. We carefully evaluate each property based on its condition, location, and current market trends, as well as any repairs or updates that may be needed.
Our goal is to provide a transparent, competitive cash offer that is fair for both you and our network of investors. We pride ourselves on honesty and simplicity, so you’ll always know exactly what to expect—there are no hidden fees or surprises along the way.
We’re also happy to explore flexible solutions that fit your unique situation. Our priority is finding a win-win outcome that works for you, not just closing a sale. With no obligation, you can review your options, ask questions, and decide on the path that feels right for your home and your timeline.
Do you need to visit my home before making an offer?
Not right away. We can often provide a fair cash offer using the information you share, including photos, property details, and publicly available data. In-person visits usually happen after you accept the offer and the proper paperwork is in place. This approach helps us keep the process simple, efficient, and focused on making your sale as smooth as possible.
What happens once I decide to move forward with your cash offer?
Once you decide to move forward, we’ll provide a straightforward purchase agreement for you to review and sign. After that, we send everything to a title company to open escrow. The title company handles all the details—checking the title, preparing paperwork, and coordinating the closing. Throughout the process, we’ll stay in close contact to keep you informed and make sure everything goes smoothly.
Will there be multiple visits to my property?
Sometimes we make a couple of visits to keep everything running smoothly. After you accept the offer, we may stop by to confirm details and take photos. Depending on the property, contractors, appraisers, or local partners might also visit.
We always coordinate around your schedule and aim to keep the process simple, stress-free, and transparent.
Will the offer change after I accept it?
We value transparency. If we need to visit the property and discover major, unexpected issues, we’ll explain everything clearly. If the updated offer doesn’t work for you, you’re free to walk away—no hard feelings.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
Experience the difference with us – when you sell your house directly to CTX CASH HOME BUYERS, there are NO fees or commissions involved, unlike traditional listing fees that can eat up to 6% of your sale price. We present you with a fair offer, and if it aligns with your needs, we handle the entire process without any hassles or costs. In fact, we may even cover the closing expenses! Our profit is derived only after investing in necessary repairs and reselling the property. By selling to us, you eliminate the uncertainties and financial burdens associated with property ownership, walking away with cash in hand and peace of mind.
Closing
How quickly can we close?
We aim to make selling your home as fast and easy as possible. Most of our sellers close in about 30 days or less, and in some cases, we’ve been able to close in just a couple of weeks.
The exact timing depends on a few things, like finalizing any mortgage payoff, confirming a clear title, and completing the necessary paperwork. Throughout the process, we stay in close contact and coordinate with a trusted Texas title company to ensure your sale is smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish.
Who handles the closing process?
A licensed title company takes care of all the paperwork to make sure everything is done correctly and securely.
Can I stay in my home after closing?
Sometimes, yes. We can arrange a short period after closing for you to move out, but it’s handled on a case-by-case basis with clear terms agreed upon in advance.
To make it work safely, we usually use a temporary lease agreement or holdback in escrow and ensure the title is fully clear. If you anticipate needing extra time after closing, let us know early so we can plan ahead and make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What happens to my mortgage or liens?
Any existing mortgage or liens are paid off through the closing process by the title company. We’ll explain everything clearly so you know what to expect.
