If you need to sell a vacant house in Houston, every month it sits costs you something: taxes, insurance that may no longer cover it, code letters, break-ins. Whether it’s an abandoned house in Houston you haven’t been inside in years, a rental the tenants trashed on the way out, or a house with squatters in Houston you can’t get back into, we buy it exactly as it stands. No clearing, no securing, no repairs and no agent fees.
Every pin is a property we closed and funded.
An empty house doesn't just hold its value. In Houston's heat, humidity and storm seasons, it slides backward every month nobody is living in it.
Many homeowner policies limit or drop coverage once a house has been empty for a set period, often around 60 days. A burst pipe or a fire in a vacant house can end up being entirely your loss.
High weeds, open windows and junk in the yard bring code notices, fines and city mowing charges that can turn into liens. We've closed on houses with stacks of unanswered letters, like the Twisting Vine Ln home in Woodland Trails.
Squatters, break-ins and people looking for a place to stay. We've handled occupied vacant homes on Marion St in Near Northside, Belview St in Baytown and Riggs St.
Copper, appliances, AC units and fixtures can disappear from a house nobody is watching. Ridgeland Ave in Aldine and Chestnut St in La Marque were both stripped before we got them.
Without anyone there to notice, a roof leak or slow drip runs for months, and mold, rot and ruined floors follow. It's the same damage we see on houses that need major repairs.
Property taxes, HOA dues, utilities and insurance keep coming whether or not anyone lives there. For a house you inherited or a rental that's sitting empty, that's money going out with nothing coming back.
Vacant and abandoned homes we’ve closed across Greater Houston
Every property featured is a real home we’ve helped close and fund. Before any property or story is published on our website, we obtain the seller’s permission—nothing is shared without their consent. If you ever want to update or remove your story in the future, simply call us at (346) 360-4444, and we’ll take care of it promptly.
Every property is different. Here are three Houston-area homes we purchased as-is and how we helped the owners get them closed.
An inherited house that had been empty long enough for people to move into it. Most buyers stop the conversation at that point, because clearing an occupied property is a legal process they have no appetite for. We handled it and closed in 26 days.
Vacant long enough to be found and vandalized. Once systems have been pulled out of a house, no lender will finance it and the retail market closes completely. Condition made no difference to us and we closed in 19 days.
A vandalized rental belonging to an owner living overseas, with no realistic way to manage repairs, contractors or a listing from that distance. The entire sale was handled remotely and we closed in 21 days.
We've closed and funded 200+ homes across Greater Houston, and plenty of them had been empty for years. Here's what you don't have to deal with when you sell to us.
You don't have to file an eviction or confront anyone first. We buy the house with whoever is in it, as we did on Marion St.
Violations, mowing charges and liens can be paid out of the sale at the title company, so you don't need cash up front to clear them.
No board-ups, dumpsters or trash-outs. Take anything you want and leave the rest, even if it's a hoarder house or full of junk.
Six months or ten years, the offer is based on the house as it stands. Twisting Vine Ln had sat empty for years, with title issues to sort out, and we still got it closed.
Out of state or overseas, you can sign remotely. The owner of Greensbrook Forest Dr was on the other side of the world. If you're relocating, the same applies.
Taxes, insurance, utilities and HOA dues end at closing. If you're behind on the mortgage too, see how we help sellers facing foreclosure.
You don't need to be in Houston, have a key that works or know what's inside. Here's how it works.
Send the address and whatever you know, even if you haven't been inside in years. Squatters, code letters, missing keys: tell us all of it.
We look at the house as it stands and get you a cash offer within the hour. No cleanout, repairs or inspections needed first.
Sign at the title company or remotely from wherever you are. In some cases we close as quickly as 1–2 business days once title is clear. Questions? See our FAQs.
Whatever happened while it sat empty, we've probably seen it. Tap any one to read a real story or see how we handle it.
Listing an empty house means getting it show-ready first, and paying to carry it the whole time it's on the market.
