How to sell your house fast in Houston

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

Route	Time to close	Price	Best for
Local cash buyer ("we buy houses")	Often 1–3 weeks; many advertise 7 days	Below market; varies widely by buyer	Repairs, inherited homes, tight deadlines
iBuyer	Usually a few weeks; you pick the date	Closer to market for newer homes, minus a service fee	Newer homes in good condition
Listing with an agent	Longest: showings plus buyer financing	Usually the highest price	When you have time and the home shows well

34
Houston buyers advertise closing in 7 days or less
68
say they buy as-is, with no repairs
14
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 and Offerpad. See the best national cash buyers and how to sell as-is without getting lowballed.

Before you sign with any Houston 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.

Have an offer? Check the actual purchase contract for assignment rights, inspection deadlines, and other terms before you sign.

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.
