Austin's Trusted Cash House Buyers Since 2015
When Austin homeowners search sell my house fast near me, they find dozens of companies promising cash for houses. Most operate from Dallas or Houston and have never set foot in Travis County. We buy homes right here in Austin, in every neighborhood.
We know Mueller homes appraise higher than tax records show. We know that odd corner lot in Hyde Park carries duplex zoning worth double what Zillow estimates. That local knowledge translates to 5-8% more in your pocket compared to national iBuyer formulas.
One point of contact from first call to closing check. The number we quote is the number on the check. No last-minute foundation discoveries that magically knock $20,000 off your price before closing.

Austin homeowners who need to sell house as is do not have to spend months and thousands of dollars on renovations first. We buy houses as is in every Austin neighborhood. Have a cracked foundation? Outdated electrical work? Broken HVAC? Active code violations? Bring it all.
If you’re thinking you need to sell my home as is because of expensive repairs, that’s exactly the situation we handle weekly. Austin code enforcement fines stack up fast, and contractors are booked 6-8 weeks out at premium rates. Selling as-is to proven cash house buyers removes the entire renovation gamble.
When you sell your house for cash, a standard 6% agent commission on a $500,000 Austin home costs you $30k. That’s before you pay closing costs, staging, or a single repair. Then add title fees, transfer taxes, and the 2-3% buyers typically negotiate off during inspections.
We cover all closing costs. No commissions. No junk fees. No vague “service charges” showing up on your settlement statement. The offer amount is your take-home number.
Travis County family courts set deadlines. Your attorney is pushing for resolution. Meanwhile, the house sits in limbo because neither party wants to manage a traditional listing during the most stressful period of their lives.
We work directly with Austin divorce attorneys to structure clean sales that satisfy court requirements. Whether the home is underwater, recently refinanced, or caught in a dispute over equity splits, we provide a firm cash offer with a guaranteed closing date. Both parties walk away with certainty instead of months of showings and negotiations dragging out an already painful process.
Austin’s tech sector reshuffled thousands of workers between 2023 and 2025. Dell, Meta, Apple, Tesla — when the transfer email hits your inbox, your timeline for selling just compressed from “whenever” to “now.” Carrying two mortgages while your Austin house sits on the market bleeding $3,000+ per month in PITI isn’t a plan. It’s a financial emergency.
We’ve closed 14 relocation sales in the last year alone, most within 10 days of first contact. You fly out for the new job. We handle everything here, including coordinating with your moving company and managing the closing remotely via mobile notary.
Austin sits on some of the most problematic expansive clay soil in Texas. Foundations shift. Plumbing cracks. And the city’s code enforcement team will fine you $500 a day for unresolved violations on electrical, structural, or plumbing systems.
We’ve purchased over a thousand properties across Central Texas with exactly these problems — including homes with active foundation movement, complete HVAC failure, and severe water damage from burst pipes during Winter Storm Mara. Our pricing separates land value from structure value, which often results in significantly stronger offers than what traditional buyers would consider for distressed properties. Assessment takes 30 minutes. We handle lien clearance and legal complications from start to finish.
A transparent side-by-side so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.

Inspection contingencies kill more Austin deals than any other factor. A buyer’s inspector finds old galvanized plumbing or a questionable foundation, and suddenly your $500,000 sale turns into a $475,000 negotiation — if the buyer doesn’t walk entirely. Then you’re back to square one, re-listing a property that now has a known inspection report floating around.
We buy without inspection contingencies. The condition we see at walkthrough is the condition we price. No renegotiation games. No repair demands. No deals falling apart three weeks in because someone didn’t like the crawl space.
Probate in Travis County averages 6-9 months. During that time, the inherited property burns through $450+ monthly in taxes, insurance, and upkeep. If you inherited an Austin home and need to sell house as is without making repairs, we handle everything from title complications to lien clearance.
Cash sales bypass lender approval requirements, cutting months off the probate timeline. We have closed inherited property purchases where heirs live out of state, where multiple parties disagree on pricing, and where the estate has outstanding liens that would block a traditional sale.
Our free Austin property valuation comes within 4% of final closing price on average — a track record backed by hundreds of local assessments. We pull data from MLS, Zillow, county records, and our own proprietary comp database, then cross-reference against AISD school zones, Onion Creek flood maps, ADU potential under the new city code, heritage tree restrictions, and traffic noise patterns.
You receive a clear PDF with a comp grid, property photos, repair cost notes, and the exact methodology behind our number. No mystery. No pressure. Just data you can verify yourself.
*Office is by appointment for closings only*
Three steps. No listing agreement. No open houses. No wondering if a buyer’s financing will fall through at the last minute.
Wondering how to sell my house fast in Austin? Start here. Call us or submit the form — the conversation takes about 15 minutes. While you answer a handful of questions, we are already pulling flood maps, checking permit history, and reviewing the tax assessment.
By end of day, you will have a preliminary figure. Not a range. Not a we will get back to you. An actual number based on real data from your specific Austin neighborhood.
We schedule a brief walkthrough — typically 30-45 minutes. Our team evaluates the property against recent sales within a 1-mile radius, factoring in neighborhood-specific variables like Central Austin school zone premiums, Northwest Hills flood risk adjustments, and East Austin appreciation trajectories.
Within 24 hours of the walkthrough, you receive a written cash offer with a detailed breakdown of how we arrived at the number. No agent fees baked in. No hidden deductions. The offer amount is your net proceeds.
Accept the offer and pick your closing date — anywhere from 7 to 60 days out. We work with established Austin title companies and handle all the paperwork, including outstanding mortgage payoffs, lien releases, and HOA transfer documentation.
At closing, you sign four documents: photo ID, warranty deed, settlement statement, and wire transfer instructions. Everything else is prepared by our team. We also offer mobile notary service if you’d rather sign from your couch than drive to a title office in Austin traffic.
Most of our Austin closings happen in 7-14 days from offer acceptance. The fastest we have closed was 5 business days for a seller in East Austin who needed to relocate for a job. The timeline depends on title clearance and your preferred date. If you need 30 or 60 days instead, that works too. You set the schedule.
Possibly. If your mortgage balance exceeds the property value, you may qualify for a short sale where your lender agrees to accept less than what you owe. We have relationships with the loss mitigation departments at most major lenders and have successfully negotiated short sales for Austin homeowners in negative equity situations. The process takes longer than a standard cash sale (typically 60-90 days for lender approval), but it protects your credit far better than foreclosure or bankruptcy.
No. We purchase tenant-occupied properties regularly. Texas law gives month-to-month tenants 30 days notice after a sale, and existing lease agreements transfer to the new owner. We review your lease terms, handle the legal transfer properly, and make sure nobody’s rights get overlooked. If you’re a tired landlord dealing with non-paying tenants, this is often the cleanest exit strategy because we take on the tenant situation as-is.
Yes. Travis County property tax liens, IRS federal tax liens, HOA liens, mechanic’s liens from unpaid contractor work: we have cleared all of these at closing. The outstanding amounts get paid from the sale proceeds through the title company, so you walk away with a clean slate. We have resolved over 30 Austin properties with title complications in the past year alone.
We base every offer on verified comparable sales within a 1-mile radius, adjusted for condition, lot size, zoning, flood zone status, and neighborhood-specific factors like school district ratings and planned development. You receive a written breakdown showing exactly how we arrived at the number. Our average offer lands at 82-90% of fair market value, but you pay zero in commissions, closing costs, or repair bills. For most Austin sellers, the net proceeds end up comparable to or better than a traditional sale after factoring in the 8-12% in agent fees, closing costs, and repair concessions that traditional sales typically require.

Austin home values climbed 40% between 2019 and early 2024. Then the correction hit. Houses that sold in two weeks during the frenzy now average 96 days on market. The gap between listing price and sale price widened to 4.7% in Q4 2024, and interest rates above 7% pushed a wave of would-be buyers to the sidelines.
We track these shifts daily because timing determines whether you preserve equity or watch it erode. Our market updates cut through the noise of Zillow estimates and headline-chasing real estate blogs.
