HomelyOffer
HomelyOffer buys houses for cash in Houston, TX in any condition — inherited, vacant, tenant-occupied, storm-damaged, or behind on taxes. There are no repairs, no agent fees, and no showings: you get a cash offer and pick your closing date, often within 7 to 14 days.
A Houston house can quietly turn from a home into a burden — a bungalow you inherited across town, a place that took on water in Harvey and never felt right again, or a rental you're tired of driving out to on the weekends. You don't have to gut it, haul out what's left inside, or pour another paycheck into repairs. We'll look at it exactly as it sits and make you a fair cash offer, and you pick the closing date that works for your family.
✔ Any condition — inherited, vacant, foreclosure, bad tenants ✔ No fees or commissions ✔ Close in as few as 7 days
Houston's housing runs from 1910s Craftsman bungalows in the Heights and Independence Heights to postwar brick ranches in Sharpstown and Spring Branch, pier-and-beam cottages in the East End and Third Ward, and slab-on-grade homes all across the outer neighborhoods. Because the city has no zoning — just deed restrictions and, out past the city limits, MUD districts that fold utility costs into your tax bill — an aging house can sit next to new three-story townhomes, which is why so many owners get unsolicited offers but no clear answer. Flooding shapes everything here: Harvey put water in more than 160,000 homes, and properties along Brays, White Oak, Greens, and Buffalo Bayou still carry the stigma and the rising insurance. On top of that, Harris County runs the largest tax sale market in Texas, with delinquent properties auctioned on the courthouse steps the first Tuesday of each month, and the City of Houston keeps thousands of open code cases on dangerous, vacant, and substandard structures. If any of that is hanging over your property, you have more options than a listing.
We buy houses throughout Houston, including:
Maybe it's your parents' brick ranch in Sharpstown or a bungalow in the Heights, and it's stuck in probate while the taxes and lawn upkeep keep coming. We buy inherited and probate homes as-is, work with your attorney or the estate on timing, and you don't have to clear out a single closet — take what matters to you and leave the rest.
A vacant house in Kashmere Gardens or the Fifth Ward draws code enforcement fast — weeds, open structure, dangerous-building notices — and the fines stack up. We buy properties with open City of Houston code cases and fire or storm damage, take them exactly as they are, and handle them after closing so you're not fighting citations you never had the time or money to fix.
The tenant left the Alief or Gulfton rental rough, the AC's out again, and the numbers stopped making sense years ago. We buy tenant-occupied and worn-out rentals as-is — no make-ready, no showings, no leasing another summer. If there's a tenant still in place, we'll talk through it honestly and work out a fair timeline.
Harris County posts delinquent properties for the first-Tuesday auction, and once you're on that list the clock is real. If you owe back taxes on a home in Sunnyside, Acres Homes, or anywhere in the county, we can often close before the sale date so you walk away with cash in hand instead of losing the house at the courthouse steps for a fraction of its worth.
Yes. We buy flood-damaged and floodplain homes all over Houston, whether they were remediated, gutted to the studs, or never fully repaired. You don't need a clean flood history or paid-up insurance — we factor the condition into a fair cash offer and buy it as-is.
Cash buyers in Houston typically pay about 70-85% of a home's after-repair value. That gap covers the repairs, holding costs, and resale risk a cash buyer takes on instead of a financed buyer. The exact number depends on the home's condition — we show you the figure and how we got to it before you decide, with no obligation.
No. As-is means as-is. Leave the old furniture, the storm damage, the foundation cracks, and the junk in the garage. There are no agent commissions and no repair credits, and we cover the standard closing costs through the title company.
Because we pay cash there's no mortgage or appraisal to wait on, so a straightforward closing can happen in a couple of weeks — or later if you need time to move. You pick the closing date. If you're racing a first-Tuesday tax sale or a foreclosure posting, tell us early so we can work backward from it.
Those are common in Houston and usually workable. The title company sorts out tax liens, HOA or MUD balances, and deed-restriction issues at closing, and we regularly buy homes still moving through probate. Just tell us where things stand and we'll be straight with you about what it takes to close.
