As Texas homeowners face mounting challenges with property taxes, aging homes requiring expensive repairs, and complex estate settlements, real estate investment company iBuy-Houses is addressing situations where conventional sales methods prove inadequate. Serving over 30 Texas communities, the company purchased more than 50 homes in 2024 from families confronting foreclosure, inheritance complications, divorce settlements, and properties needing extensive repairs that made traditional sales impractical. The company founder explained they are not competing with traditional real estate agents but serving a distinct market of 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 after unexpected medical bills, and a Denison landlord overwhelmed by a problematic rental property. Unlike traditional home sales that 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 recalled one client who was just two weeks from foreclosure, where the company closed in 9 days, paid off her mortgage, covered all closing costs, and left her with $12,000 instead of facing foreclosure and severe credit damage.
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 requiring fast moves, and seniors downsizing to assisted living.
The company's model eliminates many traditional selling pain points, with sellers paying no fees or commissions, making no repairs or improvements, and choosing their own closing date from 7 to 60 days. The founder emphasized that every home has a story and every homeowner has unique circumstances, stating their job is to provide fair, fast solutions when traditional methods do not fit the situation, with 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.
The company is also increasing educational outreach to help Texas homeowners understand all their options when facing difficult real estate situations. The founder noted that many people do not realize cash home buying is 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 their unique circumstances.
