As Texas homeowners face rising property taxes, aging homes requiring expensive repairs, and complex estate settlements, real estate investment company iBuy-Houses has provided solutions where traditional sales fall short. The company purchased more than 50 homes in 2024 from families facing foreclosure, inheritance complications, divorce settlements, and properties requiring extensive repairs that made conventional sales impractical.
The company serves a market distinct from traditional real estate agents, focusing on homeowners who need to sell quickly, cannot afford repairs, or are dealing with complicated situations like probate, foreclosure, or divorce where time is critical. Recent clients include a Bonham family who inherited their parents' home but lived out of state and could not manage the property, a Sherman couple facing foreclosure after unexpected medical bills, and a Denison landlord overwhelmed by a problem rental property with difficult tenants.
Unlike traditional home sales that typically take 90-180 days and require thousands of dollars 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 company founder recalled one client who was just two weeks away from foreclosure, where they closed in 9 days, paid off the mortgage, covered all closing costs, and left the seller with $12,000 instead of facing foreclosure and credit damage.
The company serves communities throughout Texas, with particular focus on small to mid-size cities often overlooked by larger institutional investment firms. Current service areas include Bonham, Sherman, Denison, Paris, Greenville, Tyler, Longview, Waco, Temple, College Station, Victoria, and dozens of other Texas cities. The company's model eliminates many pain points of traditional home selling, as sellers pay no fees or commissions, need no repairs or improvements, and can choose their own closing date.
Common situations where cash home buyers provide solutions include inherited properties where heirs live out of state or cannot afford maintenance, 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 requiring quick moves, and seniors downsizing to assisted living. The company emphasizes transparency in how they calculate offers and why direct cash sales make sense for certain homeowners.
As 2025 begins, iBuy-Houses is expanding services to additional Texas markets and expects to help over 100 families this year. The company is increasing educational outreach to help Texas homeowners understand all their options when facing difficult real estate situations. Many people do not realize cash home buying is an option, thinking listing with a realtor is the only way. The company aims to educate homeowners about alternatives so they can make informed decisions about what is best for their unique situation.
