As Texas homeowners navigate rising property taxes, aging homes requiring costly repairs, and complex estate settlements, a Texas-based real estate investment company is addressing situations where traditional real estate sales prove inadequate. iBuy-Houses, serving over 30 Texas communities, purchased more than 50 homes in 2024 from families confronting foreclosure, inheritance complications, divorce settlements, and properties needing extensive repairs that rendered conventional sales impractical.
The company founder explains they are not competing with traditional real estate agents but serving a distinct market: homeowners who need to sell quickly, cannot afford repairs, or are dealing with time-sensitive situations like probate, foreclosure, or divorce. Recent clients include a Bonham family who inherited an out-of-state property they could not manage, a Sherman couple facing foreclosure due to unexpected medical bills, and a Denison landlord overwhelmed by a problematic rental property.
Unlike traditional home sales, which typically take 90-180 days and require significant investment in repairs, staging, and agent commissions averaging 6% of the sale price, iBuy-Houses makes all-cash offers within 24 hours and can close in as little as 7 days. The founder recalls a client who was two weeks from foreclosure; the company closed in 9 days, paid off the mortgage, covered closing costs, and left the seller with $12,000, avoiding the credit damage associated with foreclosure.
The company serves communities throughout Texas, focusing on small to mid-size cities often overlooked by larger institutional investment firms. Service areas include Bonham, Sherman, Denison, Paris, Greenville, Tyler, Longview, Waco, Temple, College Station, Victoria, and dozens of other Texas cities. Common situations where cash home buyers provide solutions include inherited properties with out-of-state heirs, foreclosure prevention for homeowners behind on payments, divorce settlements requiring quick liquidation, homes needing major repairs like foundation work or roof replacement, tired landlords overwhelmed by problem tenants, job relocations necessitating fast moves, and seniors downsizing to assisted living.
The company's model eliminates many pain points of traditional selling: sellers pay no fees or commissions, make no repairs or improvements, and can choose their closing date from 7 to 60 days based on their needs. The founder emphasizes transparency in offer calculations and notes that direct cash sales suit certain homeowners' unique circumstances. As 2025 begins, iBuy-Houses is expanding services to additional Texas markets and expects to help over 100 families this year. The company is also increasing educational outreach to inform homeowners about alternatives to traditional listing methods. For more information, visit https://ibuy-houses.com.
