About Volcan Property Buyers
Real Houstonians. Real Options. Real Results.
Here’s the story about Volcan Property Buyers: a local, licensed Houston team that has closed 200+ homes. Volcan Property Buyers is a licensed, Houston-based team of local real estate investors who help homeowners sell quickly, fairly and without the runaround, no matter how complicated the situation looks. We were founded by Houston native and former EMT Mynor Ivan Arana to give sellers an honest alternative to buyers who renegotiate at the last minute or never close.

Built on Integrity. Focused on Solutions.
The story about Volcan Property Buyers starts with a frustration. We saw too many Houston homeowners pressured into rigid, lowball offers by out-of-state investors, lead aggregators and unlicensed wholesalers who didn't understand our local communities.
We believed Houstonians deserved a better, more transparent approach.
Since then, we've helped local families through complex real estate challenges, from inherited homes and probate to major foundation issues, landlord fatigue, title problems and pending foreclosures.
But not every homeowner needs the same strategy. You deserve to weigh every path forward:
- 01A competitive cash offer
- 02A traditional MLS listing
- 03A custom leaseback
- 04Becoming the bank
- 05A creative mortgage solution
- 06A flip partnership
Our mission is simple: clear options, honest guidance and a closing you can count on, with no last-minute renegotiating.

Read the story →Multiple Selling Options. One Goal: Your Best Outcome.
Because our team is licensed in Texas, a cash offer isn't the only option we can offer. We'll walk you through every option that fits your house and your situation, so you can make the best decision for you and your family.
Cash Offer
The fast & simple path
No repairs, no inspections and no waiting. We handle the paperwork and close on your timeline, in some cases as quickly as 1–2 business days once title is clear.
MLS Listing
Maximize your retail value
If your house would sell for more on the open market, we'll tell you. As a licensed brokerage, we can list it on the MLS to reach qualified retail buyers and maximize your sale price.
Leaseback: We Pay, You Stay
Get your cash, move on your timeline
Sell now and stay in the house for a set period after closing. It gives you flexibility to plan your move while getting access to your equity sooner.
Be the Bank
Create predictable income
Instead of collecting all your proceeds at closing, you can receive monthly payments over time. It creates predictable income and can increase your total sale price.
Creative Mortgage Solutions
Preserve your valuable financing
Some houses have a mortgage that's too valuable to walk away from. We can structure a custom solution around your current loan that a traditional sale can't offer.
Let's Flip It Together
Share in the upside
If your house has untapped upside but needs work, we can partner with you to renovate and resell it. We handle the project management, contractors and upfront costs, and you share in the final profit.
