Direct purchase from owners across Greater Houston. Written cash offer within 48 hours. Close in as little as 7 days. No commissions, no fees, no repair asks.
A few details, a few minutes, no obligation. We follow up with a written offer within 48 hours of submission.
We built our process around the things sellers tell us are missing from the rest of the industry: clarity, follow-through, and respect for your time.
Share the address and a few details about the home and your situation. The form takes under two minutes. There is no obligation and no credit check.
We research comparable sales, condition, and any encumbrances. If we have questions, we will call.
We present the offer in plain language. Purchase price, who pays which costs, and the proposed timeline.
We close at a Texas title company on the date that works for you. If you need additional time in the home after closing, we can structure that too.
Three numbers we are willing to put in writing. The rest we say in person.
We are built for the properties and circumstances that traditional listings handle poorly. If your situation is below, or close to it, we can help.
A property you did not plan for, often shared between siblings, sometimes hundreds of miles away. We work directly with heirs and probate attorneys without forcing repairs, showings, or out-of-state travel.
Probate timelines, court approvals, and family dynamics each add complexity. We coordinate with probate counsel and structure a purchase that works once the estate is positioned to sell.
When a foreclosure date is approaching, time and clarity matter. We assess your specific situation, walk you through realistic options, and if a sale makes sense, present terms in plain language.
Difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, or simply the desire to exit the rental business. We purchase tenant-occupied properties and properties that need work, without requiring you to deliver a vacant or repaired home.
Vacant, neglected, or overfilled properties are part of our normal scope. We do not require cleanouts, staging, or photographs. Leave behind whatever you do not wish to keep.
The conversation still costs you nothing. Divorce, code violations, relocation, repairs you cannot afford. Tell us what you are working with.
Tell Us About ItWe purchase residential property across the City of Houston, Harris County, and the surrounding Houston MSA. Inside the 610 Loop, between 610 and the Beltway, the suburbs along the 99 Grand Parkway, and the small towns the metro absorbed.
For the broader playbook on speed-of-sale tactics across Texas, read our direct-sale playbook for Texas owners. Slagle Investments operates as a principal buyer under Texas Property Code §§ 5.0205 and 5.086 — we are not a licensed real estate broker. The Texas Real Estate Commission regulates licensed brokers, not real estate investors. Houston market context comes from National Association of Realtors existing-home sales data. Author profile: Will Slagle, Founder.
A direct cash transaction in Houston can fund inside 7 calendar days at a Texas title company. The bottleneck is title work — payoffs, lien releases, and deed prep — not financing. We do not wait on a lender, an appraisal, or an underwriter. If you need longer than 7 days, the closing date is yours to choose.
The City of Houston, all of Harris County, and the surrounding MSA: Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties. Inside 610, between 610 and the Beltway, along the 99 Grand Parkway, and in the small towns the metro absorbed. If your property is on the edge of that footprint, submit it anyway.
We pull comparable recent sales in the immediate Houston submarket, adjust for the condition of the property, any required work, and the holding and transaction costs we will incur. The result is a number we can responsibly stand behind. If you want, we will walk you through the math when we present the offer.
No. There are no agent commissions when you sell directly to us, and we do not charge listing, marketing, or service fees. Customary closing costs are addressed inside the offer and disclosed before signing.
Yes. We purchase as-is in any condition, including homes with foundation issues, deferred maintenance, fire or water damage, code violations, and properties that have been vacant or neglected. You do not need to repair, clean, or stage anything.
Yes. Houston has specific flood and floodplain considerations that out-of-market buyers often miss or underprice. We underwrite with current flood-zone designations, prior claims, and elevation data factored in. We will quote a real number whether the property has flooded or not.
Yes. We purchase tenant-occupied properties without requiring you to deliver a vacant home. We will discuss the lease terms and timeline that work for everyone before closing.
Possibly. In most transactions we close as the buyer of record. In some, we may assign our equitable interest in the contract to a vetted investor partner who closes in our place. Texas Property Code §§ 5.0205 and 5.086 require us to disclose this in writing before any assignment is made. Your purchase price and timeline do not change.
If a direct sale is the right move for your situation, we will tell you. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
