How to sell your house fast in Austin

Speed usually costs some price. Here's how the three main routes compare, and what Austin cash buyers promise on their own websites.

RouteTime to closePriceBest for
Local cash buyer ("we buy houses")Often 1–3 weeks; many advertise 7 daysBelow market; varies widely by buyerRepairs, inherited homes, tight deadlines
iBuyerUsually a few weeks; you pick the dateCloser to market for newer homes, minus a service feeNewer homes in good condition
Listing with an agentLongest: showings plus buyer financingUsually the highest priceWhen you have time and the home shows well

  • 9

    Austin buyers advertise closing in 7 days or less

  • 18

    say they buy as-is, with no repairs

  • 5

    say they pay closing costs

These are claims from company websites, not verified results. A fast closing only helps if the price holds: iBuyers active here include Opendoor. See the best national cash buyers and how to sell as-is without getting lowballed.

Before you sign with any Austin cash buyer

  • Earnest money

    A real buyer puts down a meaningful deposit with a title company, not $10.

  • Short inspection window

    A long "due diligence" period lets a buyer walk away or cut the price later.

  • No price cuts at closing

    Ask what happens to the price after inspection. Get it in writing.

  • Who's really buying

    Ask if they plan to assign your contract to another investor.

  • Proof of funds

    A cash buyer should show proof they can pay, on request.

  • No pressure

    "Sign today or the offer's gone" is a red flag.

  • Texas assignment rules

    Texas has a wholesaling law (Occupations Code ch. 1101 (SB 2212); Property Code § 5.0205). Ask whether the buyer plans to assign your contract, and check the Texas rules above.

Is wholesaling legal in Texas?

Wholesaling is legal in most states, but Texas regulates it. Texas: Occupations Code ch. 1101 (SB 2212); Property Code § 5.0205, in effect (seller notice rule since Jan. 1, 2024).

What is a lis pendens in Texas?

A lis pendens is a public notice, recorded in a county's property records, that a lawsuit involving the property is pending. In Texas it is called a lis pendens (notice that the action is pending), under Tex. Prop. Code §§ 12.007–12.008. No fixed expiration in statute. The filer must serve a copy on each affected party within 3 days of filing, or it can be expunged. Ask the court to expunge it if there's no real property claim, the claim isn't probably valid, or the owner wasn't served a copy as required. The court can also cancel it if the owner deposits money or posts a bond.

Is selling to a cash buyer a good idea?

It can be when speed and certainty matter more than price, for example with an inherited house, major repairs, or a tight deadline. Cash offers are usually below full market value, so compare several offers and read the contract before you sign.
