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.
“It’s been wonderful even though it’s been traumatic. I guess selling your home you planned to keep for retirement, then having to short sell it was emotional. I don’t think I could have gotten through that without the help of Israel and this company. You really helped me out a lot and did things no other company could have done. I really appreciate it, you guys actually went over and above what I’ve seen from people we’ve dealt with. You made it happen, you saved the deal.”
“We called and talked to Alex, he came out instantly and it was awesome. It gave us the opportunity to really understand the process and that’s what I appreciated the most. You went through all the options that we could do, even if we wanted to sell it ourselves, of course I did not, and that made it easy. I felt that with you it was honest and open, while others were kind of just in and out. I appreciated the time, all team members that showed up during the process were very professional.”
“First, last, and only call. Israel was very professional, knowledgeable. I thought it was genuine of him to tell me about the other options I had. He even told how to work with other investors. I had a very good experience and I would definitely recommend. Since I met you, you have also been very pleasant.”
