Dallas houses we buy
Much of what we buy in Dallas is post-war, pier-and-beam or slab houses in Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, South Dallas, West Dallas and Casa View, plus suburban homes in Mesquite, Garland, Irving and DeSoto. North Texas sits on expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks, so foundation movement is the number-one issue we see, followed by old roofs, cast-iron drains and outdated electrical.
Dallas details that affect a sale
Foundation repair and financing
Buyers using FHA or VA loans often can't close on a house with active foundation movement until it's repaired and certified by an engineer. We buy before the repair, so you don't have to pay for piers first. See selling a house as-is.
Rental registration
Dallas requires rental properties to be registered with the city. If you're selling a rental, we buy with tenants in place (selling a house with tenants).
Texas foreclosures are fast
Most Texas foreclosures are non-judicial. The lender has to give at least 20 days to cure the default and post a notice of sale at least 21 days before the sale, and sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month. That timeline is short, so call as soon as you get a notice. More on selling to avoid foreclosure.
Probate in Dallas County
Dallas County has dedicated probate courts. Texas also lets heirs transfer title in some cases without full probate, using a small estate affidavit or an affidavit of heirship. A title company has to accept it, and we work through that with you. See selling an inherited house.
Why Dallas owners sell to us
- Foundation repair bids they don't want to pay
- Inherited houses
- Pre-foreclosure
- Divorce (selling during a divorce)
- Relocation (selling when you relocate)
How it works
If listing with an agent would net you more, for example because the house is updated and you have time, we'll say so.
