Your Questions About Selling a Allen Home for Cash — Answered

    Everything you need to know about how our cash buying process works, from offer details and timelines to fees and property conditions.

    The Process

    Category 1: The Process

    Share your property information with us, and we will analyze recent sales in your area to prepare a cash offer within 24 hours. If the offer works for you, we coordinate everything through a local title company. You select the closing date and receive your payment. The whole process can wrap up in as few as 7 days. See our full step-by-step guide →
    Most transactions close within 14 to 21 days from initial contact. If your situation calls for urgency, we can finalize in as little as 7 days. On the other hand, if you need additional time — up to 60 days or beyond — we are happy to accommodate. The schedule is yours to set.
    You will either visit the title company in person or complete the signing remotely through a mobile notary. The paperwork takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Once the deed transfers, your funds are wired to your bank the same day or the following business morning.
    Texas law does not mandate attorney involvement in real estate closings — the title company manages all legal documentation. That said, if having a lawyer review your contract would give you peace of mind, we fully support that and will gladly wait for their review.
    Absolutely. We can manage everything remotely — from the initial consultation via phone or video, through electronic signatures on DocuSign, to closing documents executed by a mobile notary wherever you are. We regularly work with out-of-state property owners.
    You may withdraw at any point before closing without facing any penalty. Our contracts include a built-in inspection period that allows you to cancel for any reason. No hard feelings, no questions asked.
    Very little from your side. Bring a valid ID and the property keys. The title company handles all closing documents. If you have a property survey or HOA records, those are helpful but not mandatory.
    In certain circumstances, yes. It depends on how quickly the title search clears and documents are prepared. When the title is clean and there are no complications, we have closed deals in as few as 5 days. Reach out and we will assess what timeline is realistic for your property.
    The Offer

    Category 2: The Offer

    We analyze recently closed sales in your immediate neighborhood from the past 90 days, assess the property's current state and estimated renovation expenses, factor in local market momentum, your preferred timeline, and our own operational costs. Every data point is shared with you so you fully understand how we reached our number.
    We aim to present our strongest number from the start, but we are always open to a conversation. If you have received a competing offer or have additional details about the property, share them with us and we will take another look.
    We strongly recommend getting multiple bids and comparing them. If a legitimate competing cash buyer has offered more, send it our way and we will do our best to adjust. We cannot always match every offer, but we strive to be both competitive and honest.
    iBuyers typically deduct 5-8% in service fees and frequently lower their initial offer after their own inspection. We charge nothing in fees, and our offer stays firm after our walkthrough. We are real people from Allen, not an algorithm in Silicon Valley. Read our full side-by-side comparison →
    In the vast majority of cases, yes. There are uncommon exceptions — such as severe environmental contamination or unresolved legal disputes — but we purchase properties in nearly every condition and situation imaginable. If we are unable to help, we will be upfront about it and try to connect you with a better resource.
    We encourage comparison shopping and are happy to walk you through the data supporting our valuation. Remember that once you account for agent commissions, closing costs, renovation expenses, and holding costs on a traditional sale, many homeowners discover they actually pocket more through a cash transaction. We are glad to lay both scenarios out side by side for you.
    Property Conditions

    Category 3: Property Conditions

    Yes — we buy properties in every imaginable condition: structural concerns, roof failures, mold growth, fire or water damage, outdated systems, unpermitted modifications, and more. All renovation work is handled by our team after the sale closes.
    Foundation problems are exceptionally common across DFW thanks to the expansive clay soil. We regularly buy homes with cracked slabs, pier-and-beam settling, doors and windows that stick, and visible structural shifts. Read more about selling a home with foundation issues →
    We purchase fire and water damaged properties in their current state. We are also experienced in working with homes that have active insurance claims and can navigate that process alongside you.
    Definitely. We routinely purchase homes carrying code violations. Once the property changes hands, city fines stop accruing, and we take responsibility for resolving every outstanding issue.
    Yes — we buy mobile homes situated on privately owned land throughout the DFW region. The mobile home must sit on land you own (not a rented lot within a park community) for us to extend an offer.
    Yes — we acquire undeveloped land across the metroplex, including residential lots, commercial parcels, and raw acreage.
    Financial Questions

    Category 4: Financial Questions

    None whatsoever. No agent commissions, no service charges, no closing costs on your side. The cash figure we quote is your net take-home amount (after any remaining mortgage balance is paid off).
    We take care of all standard closing expenses — title insurance, escrow fees, and recording charges. You will not spend a single dollar out of pocket.
    That is extremely common among the sellers we work with. The title company satisfies your remaining loan balance at closing, and the remainder is disbursed to you. If you are behind on payments, we can discuss strategies to address that before foreclosure becomes a threat.
    Yes — we can resolve tax liens at the closing table through the title company. Our offer already accounts for the lien payoff, so you still walk away with money in hand.
    That depends on your individual circumstances. If the home has been your primary residence for at least 2 of the past 5 years, you may be eligible for a capital gains exclusion ($250K for single filers, $500K for married couples filing jointly). Texas imposes no state income tax. We always recommend consulting a CPA to get advice tailored to your situation.
    Yes — a cash sale can often close before the lender files an official Notice of Default, which helps shield your credit score. We can walk you through your options and take swift action to prevent foreclosure from becoming unavoidable.
    Situations

    Category 5: Situations

    Yes — we regularly assist couples who need to sell during a divorce. Both spouses must consent to the sale, and proceeds are divided according to the settlement agreement. A cash transaction eliminates the 3-to-6-month listing window that can prolong an already stressful process.
    In many scenarios, yes. Texas permits independent executors to sell real property without needing court approval. We coordinate with your estate attorney to ensure the sale is conducted properly within the probate framework. Learn more about selling inherited real estate →
    Yes — we buy tenant-occupied properties without requiring you to evict anyone first. After closing, we handle all tenant communications with care and respect.
    Timing is everything. If you act early enough, a cash sale can be finalized before the auction date arrives. We understand the nuances of the Texas foreclosure timeline and can accelerate the process to help you avoid losing your home at auction.
    Without a doubt. The full process — consultation, electronic signatures, mobile notary, and wire transfer — can be completed from anywhere. We regularly close deals with out-of-state property owners across the country.
