Sell Your Harris County House for Cash: As-Is, No Fees, Your Timeline
There are no repairs, no commissions and no closing costs on your side. We’ve been buying houses in the Houston area since 2016 from our office at 3100 Timmons Lane, inside Harris County. We’re A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau and rated 4.7 stars on Google.
Every offer is in writing and shows how we reached the number: the after-repair value, the repair budget and the comparable sales we used. Harris County is one of all the areas we serve across Greater Houston, and you can get your free cash offer with no obligation.
Why Harris County Homeowners Choose a Direct Cash Sale
Homeowners choose a cash sale when certainty and timing matter more than the highest possible listing price. A direct sale removes showings, repair requests and lender approval, so the closing date is set by you instead of a buyer’s loan.
Right now, buyers have room to be selective. In August 2026, the Greater Houston single-family median price was $330,000, down 1.5% from a year earlier, with 5.3 months of inventory and total sales down 10.2%, according to the Houston Association of Realtors. With more homes to compare, buyers have more leverage to ask for repairs or price cuts on a house that needs work.
Harris County is also the most populous county in Texas, with 5,045,026 residents as of July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That means a wide range of homes and situations. Sellers we work with often have:
- An inherited house they don’t want to repair, rent or manage
- Flood or storm damage they can’t afford to fix before listing
- A job move, divorce or other deadline that won’t wait for a buyer’s loan
- A rental they’re ready to stop managing
If your house is move-in ready and you have time, listing with an agent may net you more, and we’ll tell you that. For pricing and timing trends, see our guide to the Houston housing market.
Cities and Communities We Buy Houses in Across Harris County
We buy houses in every part of Harris County: the City of Houston, the county’s smaller cities and villages, and the unincorporated communities where more than two million residents live outside any city limits. If your house is in Harris County, we want to hear about it.
City of Houston and Houston Neighborhoods
Houston is the county seat and the largest city in Harris County, and the city also reaches into Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. We buy houses in every Houston neighborhood, including Kingwood and Clear Lake, which are part of the City of Houston. For city-specific details, visit our page for home buyers in Houston.
Cities Partly in Harris County
Five cities we serve sit only partly in Harris County. We buy on both sides of the county line, so the address matters less than the house.
- Katy: split among Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties
- Missouri City: mostly in Fort Bend County, partly in Harris County
- Pearland: mostly in Brazoria County, partly in Harris County
- Friendswood: mostly in Galveston County, partly in Harris County (read about selling a house in Friendswood)

- Shoreacres: now part of La Porte after the two cities consolidated in May 2026

Unincorporated Harris County
More than two million Harris County residents live in unincorporated areas, outside the limits of any city. Many of the county’s best-known communities are unincorporated, and we buy houses in all of them, including Spring, Cypress, Atascocita, Channelview, Crosby and Huffman.
These areas rely on the county for services that cities usually provide, and many neighborhoods get water and sewer through municipal utility districts (MUDs). Spring, an unincorporated community in north Harris County, is separate from the City of Spring Valley Village in west Houston. Sellers in Cypress can also read about cash home buyers in Cypress.
How Selling Your Harris County Home to Greenlight Offer Works
Selling to us takes three steps: tell us about the house, review a written cash offer within 24 hours, and pick your closing date. A local title company handles the closing, and we pay the standard closing costs.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Home
Fill out the form or call (713) 588-5824. Share the address, the condition of the house and what’s going on. No cleaning or repairs needed first.
Step 2: Get Your Written Cash Offer
Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a written, no-obligation offer showing the after-repair value, the repair budget and the comparable sales behind it.
Step 3: Close When You’re Ready
Pick a closing date anywhere from 14 to 60 days out. We buy the house ourselves and do not assign your contract to another investor. You’re paid at closing through the title company. See how selling your house to us works.
Harris County Situations We Help With
We buy houses in any condition and in most selling situations, including flood damage, probate, pre-foreclosure, problem rentals, code violations and divorce. Here’s how each works in Harris County.
Flood and Storm Damage
Flooding is a fact of life here. Hurricane Harvey flooded about 120,000 structures across the region in 2017, and many of the Harris County homes that flooded sat outside the mapped 100-year floodplain. We buy flooded and storm-damaged houses as-is, whether repairs are half finished or never started.
Inherited and Probate Homes
Harris County has five statutory probate courts. We can make an offer while the case is open and close once the executor or administrator has authority to sell. Learn more about selling an inherited house and how Harris County probate works.
Pre-Foreclosure
In Texas, foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and the lender must give notice at least 21 days before the sale, under Texas Property Code §51.002. A cash sale that closes before that date pays off the loan from the proceeds. See how we help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
Tired Landlords and Rentals
If managing a rental has become more trouble than it’s worth, we can make an offer on the property as it stands. See how we handle tenant problems.
Code Violations and Liens
We buy houses with open code violations as-is. Liens and other payoffs are settled from your proceeds at closing.
Divorce
When a house has to be sold as part of a divorce, a fixed written offer and a closing date both owners agree on can make the split simpler.
What’s Different About Selling a Home in Harris County
Selling in Harris County involves a few county-specific steps: HCAD property values and tax proration at closing, MUD tax notices, flood questions on the seller’s disclosure, and deed restrictions in many neighborhoods. None of them blocks a cash sale, but each affects your paperwork and your net.
HCAD Values and Property Tax Proration at Closing
The Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD) sets your home’s appraised value, and each taxing unit, such as the county, school district, city or MUD, sets its own rate. Texas property tax bills usually arrive in the fall and become delinquent if not paid before February 1.
When you sell, the current year’s taxes are prorated through the closing date under the standard Texas resale contract. You pay for the days you owned the home, and the buyer pays the rest. If the bill hasn’t been issued yet, the proration uses an estimate that’s adjusted when the actual statement comes out. If you’re behind on property taxes, past-due amounts are paid from your proceeds at closing.
Deed Restrictions and HOAs
Houston has no traditional zoning, and Texas counties generally can’t zone unincorporated land, so many Harris County neighborhoods rely on recorded deed restrictions and homeowners associations to set rules. An HOA may require a resale certificate and charge transfer fees at closing, and unpaid dues are typically settled from your proceeds.
MUD Taxes in Unincorporated Areas
Municipal utility districts levy their own property tax on top of county and school taxes. Under Texas Water Code §49.452, a seller of property in a district must give the buyer a written notice before signing a binding contract. Your HCAD account lists the taxing jurisdictions on your property, including any MUD. When you sell to us, the MUD rate is already part of how we price the house.
Floodplain Disclosure on the Texas Seller’s Disclosure Notice
Since September 1, 2019, the seller’s disclosure notice under Texas Property Code §5.008 has asked whether the home is in a 100-year or 500-year floodplain, a flood pool or a reservoir, whether you’ve filed a flood insurance claim, and whether you’ve received FEMA or SBA assistance for flood damage. If a buyer receives the notice after signing, they can terminate the contract within seven days.
In a traditional sale, those answers can reopen price talks. With us, you disclose up front and the condition is priced into your written offer. Our guide to selling a flood-damaged home in Houston covers the details.
Cash Sale vs. Listing With an Agent in Harris County
A cash sale trades some top-line price for speed, certainty and no repair costs. Listing with an agent usually nets more for a move-in-ready home when you have time to wait for the right buyer.
| Feature | Cash Sale to Greenlight Offer | Traditional Listing |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs | ✔ None; we buy as-is | Often requested after the buyer’s inspection |
| Commissions | ✔ None | Set in your listing agreement |
| Closing costs | ✔ We pay standard closing costs (title, escrow, recording) | Seller pays customary seller costs |
| Financing | ✔ No lender approval needed | Buyer’s loan must be approved |
| Timeline | ✔ As little as 14 days, or on your date | Time on market plus the buyer’s loan process |
| Flood and disclosure findings | Priced into your written offer up front | Can reopen price talks after the buyer reviews them |
| Best for | Homes needing work, tight timelines, and complex situations | Move-in-ready homes and sellers with time |
Not sure which way to go? Ask for a written offer and compare it side by side with an agent’s estimate.
