ServicesVacant & Problem Houses
Vacant & Problem Houses in Clint, TX
An empty house keeps costing money: utilities, insurance, yard upkeep and the risk of break-ins or burst pipes. We buy vacant and problem properties as-is for cash, with no repairs, no fees and no commissions, and we check back with you after closing.
When a property starts costing more than it's worth
Empty houses tend to decline slowly. A leaking line under the sink drips for weeks until someone spots the buckled cabinet base. A swamp cooler left running without water burns out its pump, and a roof nobody checks lets monsoon rain soak the attic insulation. Then a code notice for weeds or junk arrives, or a tenant quits paying, and the property starts draining its own value.
We offer cash for the property exactly as it stands now. There's no need to repair the roof, clean up the yard or sort out the tenant before we speak. The closing date is your call, and we pay every closing cost tied to the sale.
We don't disappear once papers are signed. Afterward we phone to make sure the utilities moved out of your name, the insurance was canceled properly and the numbers on the settlement statement are clear to you.
What you get when we buy your vacant or problem property
- 01
A free 5-minute walk-through
We check the parts that set the value: roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical panel and HVAC or cooler. It goes quickly because paint colors don't factor in.
- 02
A cash offer in writing, with no obligation
We base the number on what we found and tell you which conditions changed it. No appraisal, no inspection and no financing contingency.
- 03
Nothing to fix or haul away
The dead water heater, the old furniture and the junk in the garage can all stay. We take the property as-is.
- 04
$0 fees and $0 commission
No commission comes out of the sale and you are charged no fees. Every closing cost tied to the sale is ours.
- 05
A call from us once you close
We phone to go over what's left: the last utility bills, canceling the vacant-property policy, forwarding mail and understanding the prorated property tax line on your statement.
- 06
A referral if a different path fits better
Selling to us for cash isn't always your best move. When it isn't, we pass along someone better suited to help, whether or not we end up buying.
Questions about Vacant & Problem Houses?
Call(915) 221-6100Signs it may be time to sell the property
A code enforcement notice arrived
Notices for tall weeds, junk vehicles or open windows usually come with a deadline. Fines can add up and may become a lien if they sit unpaid.
You found signs of entry
Pried screens, a forced back door or someone sleeping inside are common in empty houses. Each visit to secure it costs time and money.
Insurance is getting harder to keep
Many standard policies limit coverage once a house sits unoccupied, and vacant-property policies cost more. A lapse leaves you exposed to fire, water and liability claims.
The tenant problem will not resolve
Missed rent, damage beyond normal wear or an eviction you dread handling from a distance all wear you down. Selling ends the cycle.
Damage showed up on your last visit
A winter freeze can split an exposed pipe, and a roof leak can stain ceilings and soak drywall. Water damage spreads the longer nobody is there to catch it.
How the sale works, step by step
- 1
Phone call
Tell us the address, whether anyone lives there and any notices or liens you know about. It takes a few minutes.
- 2
Walk-through
We spend about five minutes on the systems that matter. If you are out of town, someone you trust can let us in.
- 3
Cash offer
You get a fair offer in writing with the reasons behind it. Take your time; there is no obligation.
- 4
You choose the closing date
The title company handles the paperwork, checks title and pays off any liens or back taxes from the proceeds at closing.
- 5
Check-in after closing
We call to confirm the utilities, insurance and mail are handled, and answer any question about the settlement statement.
What raises or lowers the number
Fees and commission are $0, and the closing costs that go with the sale are on us. So the only figure that varies is the cash offer itself. Below are the conditions that push it up or down, and we will tell you which of them came into play on your property.
- Roof, slab and pipes
- A failing roof, a cracked slab or old galvanized plumbing runs far more than swapping out worn carpet. Big-ticket repairs like these weigh heaviest on the number.
- Empty or occupied
- An empty house follows a different timeline than one with a tenant still in it. The lease, any unpaid rent and an eviction already underway all factor in.
- Code fines, liens and back taxes
- Unpaid code fines, overdue property taxes or liens from contractors are settled from the proceeds at closing, so they change your take-home amount.
- Belongings and junk inside
- When rooms are full of furniture and debris, we pay for the hauling and dump runs. Emptying the place still never falls to you.
What owners of vacant and problem properties ask
Must I empty the house before closing?
No. Keep what you want and leave everything else. Old furniture, appliances and yard junk all come with an as-is purchase.
Will you buy a rental that still has someone living in it?
Yes. Mention the occupant on your first call, since the lease and whether rent is paid up shape both timing and the offer. We work through it with you before anything is settled.
Does a code violation fine get in the way?
The sale can still go through. The title search turns up any fines and liens, and the title company pays them out of the proceeds at closing, with the exact figure shown on your settlement statement.
I'm out of town. Do I have to be present?
No. A relative, neighbor or property manager can let us in for the walk-through, and we review it all with you by phone or video.
What do you do once the sale closes?
We give you a call. We make sure electric, water and gas are no longer in your name, remind you to cancel the vacant-property insurance, and go over the prorated tax line with you so nothing catches you off guard.
What if I don't want to sell to you?
That's okay, and there's no obligation with the offer. If a different route suits your property better, we give you the name of the person most likely to help. Either way, you end the call knowing what to do next.
