The three steps
1. You tell us about the house
The address and roughly what is going on with it — that is the whole ask. You do not need to know what it is worth, what the repairs cost, or what your options are. Those are our job.
Be blunt about the condition. The more accurate you are, the more accurate the number, and the less likely anything changes later.
2. We look at it and do the math
We pull what comparable El Paso houses actually closed at, price the repairs at real contractor numbers, and subtract our costs and margin. Nothing on that repair list has to be done first — this is exactly how we price a house you sell as-is in El Paso. Usually we can come back within about 24 hours.
We will normally want to see the property once — not the repeated access a listing requires.
3. You pick the closing date
If the number works, we sign a purchase agreement and close at a licensed title company. You choose the date, including one after you have already moved out of town.
If the number does not work, that is a completely normal outcome and there is no fee, no obligation, and no follow-up pressure.
How we calculate your offer
This is the part nobody else in this market publishes. The calculation is not complicated — it is just usually hidden.
We start from what the house would sell for repaired and on the open market, subtract what those repairs actually cost, and subtract our costs of holding and reselling plus our margin. What is left is the offer.
| Step | Example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| What it would sell for fixed up | $260,000 | Based on what comparable houses near yours actually closed at — not a guess, not an algorithm. |
| Minus what it costs to fix | −$45,000 | Roof, foundation, HVAC, cosmetics — priced from real contractor numbers, and we show you the list. |
| Minus costs and our margin | −$35,000 | Closing costs, taxes and insurance while it is held, and the profit that keeps us in business. |
| Your cash offer | $180,000 | No commissions, no repair bills, no months of waiting. |
Illustrative example only. Every house is different. Your number depends on your property’s condition and what comparable homes near you are selling for right now — and we will show you both rather than asking you to take the figure on faith.
The honest consequence of that arithmetic: we pay less than a repaired house listed on the open market would bring. That is the trade, and it is the whole trade. If you have the time and money to fix the house and list it, you will very likely net more — see the honest comparison.
What happens after you accept
A purchase agreement is signed and a small earnest deposit goes into escrow with the title company — not to us. The title company runs title, orders the payoff from any mortgage servicer, and handles the money at closing. We never hold your funds.
The contract includes an option period, typically a couple of weeks. That period is ours as the buyer — it is the window in which we confirm condition and title, and bring in the investor who completes the purchase. We are telling you that plainly rather than describing it as something it is not.
We may assign our purchase contract to a third-party investor who closes on it. That is how this business works and it is how everyone in the chain gets paid, including us. It is stated in our terms as well as here.
Closing happens at a licensed title company. It is not always in El Paso — some closings are handled remotely at an out-of-town title company, and if you are not local the title company will explain what signing remotely requires in your case.
What we never do
- We never charge you anything. No fee for the offer, no fee to see the property, no closing costs to you, no commission. Nobody legitimate asks a seller for money up front — the Texas State Law Library specifically warns about companies that do.
- We never ask for your Social Security number, bank details or immigration status. None of that is needed to make an offer, and none of it is our business.
- We never pressure anyone to decide on the phone. Take the number to your attorney, your agent, or your family. We would rather you did.
- We never pretend a cash sale is always the right answer. When listing would net you more, we say so — that is the point of the comparison page.
FAQ
How fast can you close?
Faster than a financed sale, because there is no lender and no appraisal to wait on. The real limits are the title work and the payoff from any mortgage servicer. Tell us your deadline on the first call and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic rather than promising a number we do not control.
Does it cost anything to get an offer?
No. Not for the offer, not for us to look at the property, not at closing. If any company asks a seller for money up front, walk away.
Do I have to fix or clean anything?
No. We buy as-is. Take what your family wants and leave the rest — furniture, appliances, whatever is in the garage.
Will the offer change after you see the house?
Not unless the property turns out to be materially different from what we were told. The number is based on condition, so if the condition is as described, the number holds. That is exactly why we ask you to be blunt about what is wrong.
What if I change my mind?
Before you sign anything, nothing is binding on either side and you owe us nothing. Once there is a signed purchase agreement, what you can and cannot do is governed by that contract — read it, and take it to your own attorney before signing. We are not going to summarise your legal rights for you on a web page; that is what your lawyer is for.
We are not attorneys, accountants, or licensed real estate agents, and we do not represent you in a transaction — we are the buyer. The example figures above are illustrative, not a quote. Take any offer to your own attorney, agent or accountant before you decide.
