Sell Your Austin House Fast, As-Is
Top Cash Offer In USA connects Austin homeowners with local cash home buyers who know Travis County and the surrounding area. Whether your house is in East Austin, Montopolis, Dove Springs, St. Johns, Windsor Park, Crestview, Travis Heights or Allandale, or out in Pflugerville, Round Rock, Manor, Del Valle or Kyle, send us the address and a buyer who works in your part of town reviews it and makes you a cash offer, usually within 24 hours.
An older house with foundation movement, a roof near the end of its life or an outdated electrical panel, a rental with tenants still in it, a house you inherited from a parent, a home that no longer fits after a divorce or a job change: buyers look at all of them as they are. You pick the closing date, skip the repairs and showings, and pay no agent commission. If the offer doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing.

Selling a House in Austin: What to Know
Most of Austin is in Travis County, which is where the deed is recorded when the sale closes and where any foreclosure notice is filed. If your house is in a part of the Austin area that lies in Williamson or Hays County, the same steps happen in that county instead.
- Texas home sales normally close at a title company, which checks the title, pays off your mortgage and any liens, records the deed and sends you the rest of the money.
- Texas has no state real estate transfer tax, so there is no transfer tax line on your closing statement.
- Travis County property taxes for a year are due by January 31 of the following year, so a house sold during the year usually hasn’t had that year’s bill paid yet. That is why the closing statement normally shows a credit from you to the buyer for the part of the year you owned the house. Any past-due taxes are paid from your proceeds at closing.
- Most Texas home foreclosures are non-judicial, with no lawsuit. In Travis County, foreclosure sales are held on the first Tuesday of each month starting at 10 a.m. on the west steps of the Travis County Courthouse at 1000 Guadalupe Street. Texas law requires the notice of sale to be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk and mailed to the borrower at least 21 days before the sale. Once a notice is out, time is short, so call early if you want to sell and keep your equity.
- Most Texas sellers of a single-family home must give buyers a Seller’s Disclosure Notice under the Texas Property Code; a few kinds of sales are exempt, such as a sale by a fiduciary administering a decedent’s estate or trust. The notice asks about floodplains, past flooding, flood insurance claims and FEMA assistance, which matters for homes near the Colorado River and Austin’s creeks.
More detail on the statewide process is on our Texas page, and we also cover San Antonio, just down I-35. If the house needs work, read how to sell a house as-is in Texas. This is general information, not legal or tax advice; the title company or your attorney confirms what applies to your sale.

When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Austin
Listing an Austin home with an agent can bring a higher price if the house is move-in ready, but it means repairs, showings, waiting on a buyer’s loan and paying a commission at closing. A house with foundation problems, an old roof or outdated wiring can also fail a lender’s appraisal or inspection and push a financed sale back to the start. A cash buyer trades some of the price for speed and certainty.
Austin homeowners usually call us when the house needs work, a foreclosure notice has been posted, they inherited a property or are going through probate, they are tired of being a landlord, or they need to move quickly for a job or a divorce. Not sure which route fits? Read how to sell your house fast, which compares a cash sale, a listing and selling by owner, and how to check a cash buyer before you sign anything.

FAQ
Selling a House Fast in Austin: Questions
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Austin?
You usually get an offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you choose the closing date: as little as 7 days once the title work is done, or later if you need time to move.
Do you buy houses in every part of Austin?
Yes, from East Austin, Montopolis and Dove Springs to St. Johns, Windsor Park, Crestview and Travis Heights, plus nearby cities such as Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Manor, Buda and Kyle. Condition and location don’t rule a house out.
Are there fees or commissions?
No agent commission and no fee for using our service. You pay the usual seller costs at closing, such as your share of the year’s property taxes and the payoff of your mortgage and liens, and the offer tells you how those are handled before you sign.
Can I sell my Austin house if I’m facing foreclosure?
Yes. Most Texas foreclosures are non-judicial. In Travis County the sales take place on the first Tuesday of the month at the courthouse, and the notice must go out at least 21 days before. You own the house until the sale, so you can sell before then, pay off the loan at closing and keep what is left. Call early: a cash sale still needs time for title work. See our guide to selling a home in foreclosure.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house?
No. Buyers purchase as-is, and you can leave behind anything you don’t want to take.
My house is in Williamson or Hays County. Can I still sell?
Yes. The sale works the same way; the deed is simply recorded, and any property taxes are settled, in the county where the house is.
Can I sell a house I inherited in Austin?
Usually yes. If the estate is in probate, the executor or administrator can sell once the court gives them authority, and a sale by a fiduciary administering an estate is exempt from the Seller’s Disclosure Notice. The title company tells you what paperwork it needs. See selling an inherited property.
