How to Sell a House Fast in Texas: 10 FAQs & Tips for Home Sellers

How to Sell a House Fast in Texas

Selling your house is a big decision, and it can make you ask a lot of questions. At ZenHomes Investments, we understand that it can be confusing, whether it’s your first time or you’ve done it before. We’ve put together answers to some common questions to help you sell your house quickly and easily in Texas.

1. How much should I sell my house for if it needs work?

If your home feels like it’s been around for a while and needs repairs, like fixing pipes, updating the kitchen, or fixing the roof, you might have to sell it for a lower price if you don’t have the funds to make the repairs yourself. In addition, if you need to sell quickly, accepting a lower price is totally normal because of these deferred maintenance issues.

We can help by giving you advice and offering a fair price, even if your home needs work. We make it easy to sell your home fast, so you don’t have to worry about fixing everything.

2. What’s the easiest way to sell my house fast without fixing it up?

Selling a house can take a lot of time and money, like fixing things or making it look nice. But we make it boringly simple!

Sell As-Is: You don’t have to fix anything—we’ll buy your house just the way it is.

No Staging Needed: You don’t need to make your house look fancy. We like it just how it is.

Fast and Easy: We give you a fair cash offer and close on your time frame on the date of your preference.

3. How long would it usually require to sell a house?

Usually, standard closing takes up to 30 days. But if there are lien and title challenges with the house, this could take longer to clear up. This is dependent on a third-party title company to clear up for us so we can buy the house with a clear title! As long as the title is clear and minimal liens are on the home (like 1 mortgage). With us, we can make you a cash offer and close in as little as 14 days, so you don’t have to wait.

4. What should I do before selling my house?

Selling a house usually means doing things like cleaning and fixing it up, but we make it easy:

Cash Offers and Fast Closing: No waiting for banks to do appraisals and approve financing! 

Sell As-Is: Skip repairs, multiple buyer showings, and taking what you want and leaving what you want

No Fees: We will pay your title fees. All you are responsible for is any mortgages you owe and proration of property taxes for the year.

5. What costs do I have when selling a house?

Selling a house can have costs, like paying agents, closing fees, and fixing things. We help you avoid these extra costs so you can keep more of your money. 

6. Do I need to tell people about problems with my house?

Yes! Please disclose to people interested in buying your house the issues that you are aware of. This is a big money decision, and we want to make sure the house is problem-free, so everyone who lives there can feel comfortable and at ease.

7. Should I take the first offer I get?

We encourage you to get around 3 offers but if the first offer fits your needs and you are in a time crunch, highly consider it. There is no business that has a limited supply of money—take any offer you get seriously and let them know if that works for you or not.

8. What happens when I close my house?

Closing is when the sale is finished and the house becomes someone else’s. You should receive your funds same-day or within 24 business hours (depending on when you close). You’ll hand your keys over to the title company or the buyer once you receive your funds and the deed has been signed. 

9. Can I sell my house if I still have money left to pay on my mortgage?

Yes! Absolutely. The title/escrow company that gets the signed agreement will start the title work and contact the mortgage company to find out how much you still owe by the closing date. What does under contract mean? It’s the period before the sale is finalized. During this time, the title company ensures all conditions are met. They will send the money to pay off your mortgage, and any remaining equity—the part of the house you own—will be sent to your account.

10. What if I get an offer lower than my asking price?

You have the option to say no and also try to get an understanding of why. Maybe there’s an issue you aren’t seeing or don’t know how much material, labor, and costs it takes to really fix something in your home. Don’t be afraid to counter-offer as well if there is a real need for more.
