Even in a sellers market like Texas, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your goals with the sale of your house. Having the options and comparing the information, helps educate sellers and brings ease the situation. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” sales price listing with a local Houston agent, compared to other non-traditional routes, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache.

When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your Texas house offers.
Yes, here at Mr Deeds House Buyers USA we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that going the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
Like…
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Texas, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing eh?
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Mr Deeds House Buyers USA, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area home owners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.
Is it for you?
Just fill out the short form below or give us a call at 713-999-3905 and let’s chat! Our process is simple and you can close on the date of your choice. You have nothing to lose by getting an offer (no obligations – no pressure). But you could potentially lose thousands of dollars or months of your time by not testing us out and requesting your FREE house offer below.
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at Mr Deeds House Buyers USA we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
“I met with Israel, he explained everything to me but I didn’t like the offer at first. I looked into a realtor for more options; the house needed to be fixed and I decided I didn’t want to put it on the market. I also didn’t want to rent it out. I called Israel back and he explained everything to me again; his offer was a little more than what I had thought so I accepted it. I appreciate his patience and I enjoyed working with everyone at Mr. Deeds Buys Houses.”
“I was behind on my mortgage and I had to leave. I had been talking to investors for two months, trying to find a way out. There was too many things wrong with the house and I didn’t have the means to fix anything. You guys were such an answer to everything. It was comforting to work with you guys .”
“I recently had to sell my home, I was having some issues and I came across Alex Cedillo, which I do recommend. I was struggling at the time, he got me a good settlement. I am happy with that, put a smile on my face! I just want to thank you very much Alex for what you have done for me, nobody could have gone the distance for me like you did for me and I know you are going to help other people as well.” – E. Rodriguez
“It was a lot of stress, I had to worry about the HOA fees going from $700 to $3700 and then the back taxes went from $15,000 to $30,000 and I just couldn’t do it. There was problem with the title. We thought you guys were going to be like everybody else, but you guys were very professional and punctual. I’ve already referred my friend Kathy.”
“After speaking with several investors I had contacted, Israel was able to meet me at the price I was seeking which I appreciate. I’m glad they were able to work with me and I would recommend him to other people who are in the same situation. I flooded during Hurricane Harvey, I had 7 feet of water in my home and that is why I had to sell.” -Maria Cardenas
“We inherited these properties from my dad that’s why we wanted to sell them because we don’t want to be landlords, it’s just too much and we already had a lot going on. The process was very easy and quick, you guys are outstanding and I would recommend you.”
“We called your phone number and you were very prompt in coming out, giving us an estimate, and getting it closed in a short period of time. The process was very seamless and closing in 7 days is pretty darn good. It was nice and easy.”
“I’m selling a townhouse on Algonquin that was flooded during Harvey, I found you guys on the internet just doing a Google search. I was just trying to find people that would buy my house and wouldn’t rip me off. The process was pretty easy, the paperwork can be a lot during closing, but you guys did everything for me. We met two weeks ago, you did a walkthrough, and we’re closing today.”
Te encontré en internet era la case de mi esposo. Muy profesional, gracias. – Hablo Espanol
“I had a house in Walnut Glen, I wanted to move it fast. I just felt the house was getting away from me, sometimes it’s just time to purge and move on. The house was too big for me and I just wanted to get out of it. I like that you helped me with the movers they may have been young, but they were very professional. Due to health reasons I can’t really move a lot and you guys made the process easy for me. It was such a relief.”
