Texas Real Estate Investment Firm Provides Alternative to Traditional Home Sales for Families in Distress

As Texas homeowners face rising property taxes, aging homes requiring costly repairs, and complex estate settlements, iBuy-Houses, a real estate investment company serving over 30 Texas communities, purchased more than 50 homes in 2024 from families facing foreclosure, inheritance complications, divorce settlements, and properties requiring extensive repairs that made traditional sales impractical. The company's founder explains they serve a different market entirely – homeowners who need to sell quickly, can't 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 couldn't 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 founder recalls one client who was just two weeks away from foreclosure, where they closed in 9 days, paid off her mortgage, covered all closing costs, and left her with $12,000 instead of facing foreclosure and the devastating credit damage that comes with it.

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. Common situations where cash home buyers provide solutions include inherited properties where heirs live out of state or can't 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 who want a fast process.

The company's model eliminates many pain points of traditional home selling, as sellers don't pay any fees or commissions, don't need to make repairs or improvements, and can choose their own closing date. The founder emphasizes transparency about how offers are calculated 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, while increasing educational outreach to help Texas homeowners understand all their options when facing difficult real estate situations. The founder notes that many people don't realize cash home buying is even an option, thinking listing with a realtor is the only way, and aims to educate homeowners about alternatives so they can make informed decisions. For homeowners facing foreclosure, dealing with inherited property, going through divorce, or needing to sell quickly without traditional methods, iBuy-Houses offers free consultations and no-obligation cash offers through their website at https://ibuy-houses.com.
