General Questions
What is Greenlight Offer?
We are Houston’s trusted cash home-buying company. We buy houses directly, fast, and hassle-free.
Are you real estate agents?
We are not your agent. We buy your home directly with our own funds, so you pay no commissions and you are not waiting on a buyer's mortgage. We do need access to the property before closing so our team can see it. Those visits are private and scheduled with you, and you do not have to leave the house while we are there. After we buy a property, we often resell it on the open market. That happens after your closing and has no effect on your sale.
Where do you buy houses?
We buy homes across Houston and nearby areas like Katy, Conroe, Pearland, The Woodlands, League City, and more. Wherever you are, we’ll make you an offer.
Why should I trust Greenlight Offer?
With 1,122 homes bought and 2,432 cash offers made, we’ve earned 100% satisfaction from our clients. We promise transparency, fair offers, and stress-free sales.
Do you list houses?
We buy your home directly rather than listing it for you. After the purchase closes, we may put the property on the MLS ourselves, because that is where the strongest buyers are. Some homes suit investors and some suit families looking for a place to live, so we sell into whichever market fits the property. Either way, that happens after we own it. Your sale is complete at closing.
Will people need to come see my house?
Yes. Our team needs access to the property a few times before closing so we can assess it accurately. Every visit is scheduled with you, and you do not need to leave while we are there.
Selling Process
How does selling to Greenlight Offer work?
It’s simple:
Step 1: Tell us about your house (online or via phone).
Step 2: Get a no-obligation cash offer.
Step 3: Choose your closing date and get paid.
How fast can you buy my house?
We close in as little as 2 weeks or whenever works for you
Do I need to clean or repair my house?
No. We buy houses as-is. You don’t need to lift a finger.
What happens after I accept your offer?
We’ll arrange any needed access to the property, finalize the paperwork, and close the deal. Then, you get your cash.
Can I stay in my house after the sale?
In many cases, yes. If you need extra time after closing to move out, tell us early and we will build it into the agreement in writing before closing, so the move-out date is clear to everyone. We also pay for movers, and our relocation specialist can help if you are still looking for your next place.
Financial Questions
Do you charge fees or commissions?
Never. There are no fees, commissions, or closing costs when you sell to us. The offer you get is the amount you’ll take home.
How is my offer calculated?
We consider your house’s After-Repair Value (ARV), estimated repair costs, and market conditions. We make fair, transparent offers.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. What we offer is what you’ll receive—no surprises.
Situational Questions
Can I sell my house with liens or legal issues?
Yes, we buy homes with liens or code violations. We handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to.
What if I’m in foreclosure?
Yes, we buy homes that are in active foreclosure. In Texas, foreclosure auctions are held on the first Tuesday of each month, so the sooner you reach out, the more options you have. In many cases we can close before the sale date, which stops the auction and keeps the foreclosure off your credit. We work directly with your lender and the title company to get the payoff figure and clear anything outstanding. Call or text (713) 588-5824 and tell us your posted sale date so we can move on your timeline.
Can I sell if my house has no equity?
Yes, we buy houses with little or no equity. You’ll still get cash without paying extra fees.
What about inherited properties?
We simplify the process of selling inherited homes, even if multiple family members are involved.
Do you buy rental properties with tenants?
Yes, we’ll buy your property even if it’s tenant-occupied.
My house is damaged. Will you still buy it?
Absolutely. We buy homes with fire damage, water damage, or any other issues. Condition doesn’t matter.
What if I need to sell quickly because of job relocation?
We specialize in fast closings, making it easy for you to sell and move to your new job location. We’ll work on your timeline.
Can I sell my house if I’m going through a divorce?
Yes, we provide quick and hassle-free solutions for selling your house during a divorce. We work with both parties to ensure a smooth sale.
What if I have tenant problems?
We buy rental properties even if there are tenants. Whether you’re dealing with difficult renters or just want to sell your investment property, we can help.
Can I sell my house during liquidation or financial distress?
Yes, we assist homeowners during liquidation. We’ll expedite the process to provide the cash you need quickly.
Do you buy houses with code violations?
Yes, we’ll buy your house even if it has code violations. You won’t need to make any repairs or resolve the violations before selling.
What if I’m selling because of medical bills or emergencies?
We understand how urgent medical situations can be. We will get you a written offer quickly and set a closing date that lines up with when you actually need the funds. You will not pay commissions, repair costs, or closing costs out of your proceeds.
What if my house has been vacant for years?
We buy vacant properties no matter how long they have been unoccupied. There is no need to clean it out, clear it, or repair anything. Long-vacant homes often come with code violations, utility shutoffs, or years of deferred maintenance, and none of that stops the sale.
Can I sell my house if it’s in pre-foreclosure?
Yes, and pre-foreclosure is usually the best time to sell, because you still have time and you still have control. If you have received a notice of default or you are behind on payments but no sale date has been posted yet, you can sell and pay off the loan before the process goes further. You do not need to bring the loan current first and you do not need to make repairs. We handle the lender payoff at closing, and any equity left after the payoff is yours.
What if my house is outdated or considered “ugly”?
No problem! We buy houses in any condition, whether they’re outdated, need repairs, or are considered “ugly” homes.
Can you buy my house if it’s part of a legal dispute?
Yes, we can help resolve disputes involving property sales, including divorces, family disagreements, or other legal challenges.
