Same house.
Three ways forward.

Different buyers, different terms. See what changes before you decide.

Our cash offer

We buy the house directly,
in its current condition.

Your preparation
No repairs, cleanout or showings.
Costs
No commissions. We pay standard seller closing costs on homes we buy ourselves.
What you receive
A written cash offer after our walkthrough.

Sellers First is the buyer. We make money if we resell it, and we tell you in writing before you sign that we plan to.

Explore the cash path

Investor offers

Investor buyers make
their own offers, as-is.

Your preparation
Sell in the home's current condition.
Costs
Maxwell's commission and any program fee are shown in writing before you sign.
What you receive
Available paths side by side.

Maxwell works for you as your licensed agent (eXp Realty). His fee and any buyer fee are on one page before you choose. Sellers First is not the buyer.

Get My Offers

Open-market listing

Offer your home on the open market with Maxwell Buffamante, a licensed Texas REALTOR® with eXp Realty, LLC.

Your preparation
A preparation and showing plan that fits the house.
Costs
The listing fee is explained and agreed before you sign.
What you receive
An estimated listing net. An estimate, not an offer.

Maxwell lists your house with eXp Realty for a commission, in writing. If listing would net you more, we will say so, even though it means we do not buy your house.

Explore the listing path

Actual offers depend on property review, access and buyer response. Sellers First is not a brokerage. Listing services are provided by Maxwell Buffamante, a licensed Texas REALTOR® with eXp Realty, LLC. Look up the Realtor® license on TREC. See how the math works.

From our Google reviews
“I was skeptical at first going with a smaller company but Sellers First actually gave me a better offer than the bigger companies. Knowledgeable and honest. I don’t usually write reviews but I was very impressed. 10/10!”
Jenny Mack · Original review on Google

Start where you are.

You don't need every answer to take the next step.

Houston houses have Houston problems.

Clay, water, hail and age. For our cash purchase, you can sell the house as it is.

Inside the Loop.
Out past the Grand Parkway.

We work across greater Houston. Pick your part of town for a local guide to selling there.

What happens at the visit: we look at the house, you sign nothing, and you get your numbers in writing afterward. Bring family, or do it on video. You can take the papers home and use your own title company or attorney. At closing, the money moves through a Texas title company, never through us.

Step 1 of 5

What's the property address?

Free and no obligation. About 90 seconds.

No spam. No obligation. Your info stays private.

Fair questions.
Straight answers.

How fast can you buy my house in Houston?

An eligible cash sale may close in as few as 14 days, subject to title, access, payoff, and property conditions. You can also choose a later date when you need more time.

Do I have to make repairs or clean up first?

No. On the cash and multiple offer paths you can sell in the home's current condition. Leave what you don't want, skip the repairs, and forget about staging or showings.

Are there any fees or commissions?

It never costs anything to see your options. Our cash offer has no commissions. On the investor-buyer path, Maxwell's commission and any program fee are shown in writing before you sign. If you list on the open market, standard commission applies and we tell you the exact number before you sign anything.

What areas do you serve around Houston?

All of Greater Houston, including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, Cypress, The Woodlands, Missouri City, Baytown, League City, Spring, Kingwood, and Galveston.

Are you a licensed real estate brokerage?

We're not a brokerage. When you choose to list, brokerage services come from Maxwell Buffamante, a licensed Texas REALTOR® with eXp Realty. Everything is spelled out for you.

How is this different from a 'we buy houses' company?

A typical cash buyer presents one offer. We compare the main ways to sell side by side and let you choose what fits your life.

Is Sellers First legit? How do I check you out?

Fair question, you should ask it about anyone who contacts you about your house. We're a family owned Houston company. Our Google reviews are public and verifiable, and the listing path runs through Maxwell Buffamante, a licensed Texas REALTOR® with eXp Realty, whose license you can look up on TREC's public site. You can also call and talk to us first with no obligation.
