Cash with us

As few as 14 days

  • Clear cash number after property review
  • No repairs, showings, or cleanup
  • No buyer financing contingency
  • On our direct cash offer, we cover standard closing costs

Traditional listing

Built to reach the open market

  • Prep, repairs & staging first
  • Weeks of showings & open houses
  • Buyer financing can collapse the deal
  • Agent commissions come off the top

A home that is ready for the market may net more through a listing. We will show you both paths honestly.

Who may buy your house

Who actually buys your house depends on the path you pick and the property. Sometimes Sellers First buys it directly, and we tell you in writing before you sign that we may resell it after we close. Sometimes independent investor buyers make offers through Maxwell Buffamante, a licensed Texas REALTOR with eXp Realty, LLC, and any commission or fee is shown in writing. Not every property fits every path, and we will say so. Listing on the open market is a separate service through Maxwell Buffamante with eXp Realty, LLC.

On the investor-buyer path, Maxwell's commission and any program fee are shown in writing before you sign.

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!”

How we build your cash number

No black box. Here is how a cash offer comes together, in plain English.

  1. Updated valueWhat the home may be worth after repairs, from recent comparable Houston sales nearby.
  2. RepairsThe roof, HVAC, kitchen, cosmetics, or other work that applies.
  3. Resale costs + our marginClosing, holding, and resale costs. We show these inputs clearly.
  4. Your cash offerNo repairs or commissions. On our direct cash offer we cover standard closing costs.

Your number is property specific. We show you the value basis, repair estimate, resale costs, and risk before you decide. If the home is ready for the market and you have time, a listing may net more. We will compare both paths honestly. Read the full terms

Cash is one choice.

Why a cash offer might be right for you

A cash offer is not for everyone, but for the right situation, it can be the simplest way to sell your home quickly.

No Repairs Needed
On a direct purchase, we buy your home exactly as it is. If we plan to resell the home after we close, we tell you before you sign. Either way, no fixes or cleanup are required.
Zero Commissions
No agent commissions or hidden service fees. On our direct cash offer, we cover standard seller closing costs.
Fast Closing
Eligible sales may close in as few as 14 days, subject to title, payoff and property conditions, or pick the date that works best for you.
No Buyer Financing
The offer does not depend on a buyer getting a mortgage.
Many Situations
We evaluate inherited homes, rentals, homes needing repairs, and homes facing time pressure.
Local Houston Team
You work directly with a local, family-owned Houston team.

The honest tradeoff: speed may mean a lower price

A cash offer trades some price for speed and certainty. That's the deal, and we'd rather tell you plainly than have you find out later.

You're on the right page if

  • You need to be done in days or weeks, not months
  • The house needs work you don't want to fund or manage
  • Certainty beats squeezing out the last dollar

Questions before you start

How fast can I get a cash offer and close on my Houston house?

A cash offer follows property review. An eligible sale may close in as few as 14 days, subject to clear title, access, payoff information, and other transaction requirements. If you need more time, you can choose a later closing date.

Do I pay any fees or commissions?

There are no agent commissions or hidden service fees on our direct cash sale, and on our direct cash offer we cover standard seller closing costs. Mortgage payoffs, liens, property taxes, or other obligations tied to the property can still affect your net proceeds.

Will you buy my house in its current condition?

Yes. We buy Houston homes in their current condition, with no repairs or cleanup required. That includes inherited homes, rentals with tenants, homes with major repairs, and homes with fire or water damage.

How is your cash offer calculated?

Your cash offer starts with the estimated value after repairs, then accounts for the repairs, resale costs, holding costs, and risk. We show you the inputs so you can understand the number before you decide.

Is a cash offer the best way to sell my house?

Compare the written cash offer, estimated listing net, timing, repairs, and closing costs before choosing. The best fit depends on your home and priorities. We help you compare the paths without an obligation to sell.

Do I have to accept your cash offer?

No. The cash offer is free and comes with zero obligation. You can take it, compare it against other options, or walk away, your choice, no pressure.

We serve the entire Houston metro, home to nearly 7.8 million people as of 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau population estimates) across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, and Waller counties.
