In May 2026, homes in Boerne, Texas, spent a median of 67 days on the market, according to the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR). But Jorge didn’t have to wait that long.

His four-bedroom Boerne home went under contract in just 24 days. That’s 43 days sooner than the city’s median.

Jorge had set out to sell his home within three months. After connecting with Houzeo Cash Offers in March, he secured a buyer in May and closed the sale for $499,900 on June 11, 2026.

So, how did Jorge find a buyer in less than half the time homes typically spent on the market in Boerne?

Jorge Had a Home Ready to Sell and a Three-Month Goal

Jorge wasn’t selling just any home. His property in Boerne was a spacious, two-story residence with four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space.

Built in 2007, the home had plenty to offer potential buyers. Its chef-inspired kitchen featured premium KitchenAid appliances, double ovens, and an oversized island with a vegetable sink. Ten-foot ceilings and wrought-iron staircase railings added to its appeal.

Jorge had also invested in improvements over the years. A new roof was installed in 2022, followed by a tankless water heater and water softener in 2023.

The result was a move-in-ready home with modern finishes and several major upgrades already taken care of.

But having an attractive property was only part of the equation. Jorge also had a timeline in mind.

He wanted to sell within one to three months. And that meant finding the right buyer without letting the property sit on the market longer than necessary.

A Search for Cash Buyers Led Jorge to Houzeo

Jorge’s journey with Houzeo began online.

While researching companies that buy houses for cash in Texas, he came across Houzeo’s guide to the best cash home buyers in Texas.

The guide explored different ways homeowners could sell their properties, from traditional cash-buying companies to marketplaces that connect sellers with potential buyers.

That’s how Jorge discovered Houzeo Cash Offers.

Unlike selling directly to a single cash-buying company, Houzeo Cash Offers gives homeowners another avenue to reach potential cash buyers. Sellers can also explore the open market instead of limiting themselves to one type of buyer.

On March 18, 2026, Jorge connected with Houzeo Cash Offers.

Less than a month later, on April 11, his Boerne property was listed on the open market for $499,900.

His home now had an opportunity to reach buyers through the traditional market, alongside the additional avenue he had explored through Houzeo Cash Offers.

And it wasn’t long before the listing reached an important milestone.

Jorge Found a Buyer in 24 Days, 43 Days Sooner Than Boerne’s Median!

On May 5, 2026, Jorge’s home went under contract.

Just 24 days after it was listed.

To put that into perspective, HAR reported a median of 67 days on market for homes sold in Boerne in May 2026. Jorge’s property reached a contract 43 days sooner than that local benchmark.

That’s approximately 64% less time on the market.

For a nearly 4,000-square-foot home listed at $499,900, finding a buyer in just over three weeks was a significant milestone.

Of course, the property’s move-in-ready condition, modern upgrades, pricing, and market exposure all formed part of the picture. We can’t attribute the result to any single factor.

But one thing was clear: Jorge had reached a buyer well within his original selling timeline.

Now, there was just one more milestone left.

Closing the sale.

From First Connection to a $499,900 Sale in 85 Days

On June 11, 2026, Jorge’s Boerne home officially sold for $499,900.

It had been 37 days since the property went under contract and 85 days since Jorge first connected with Houzeo Cash Offers on March 18.

Remember his original goal? Sell within one to three months.

He had done exactly that.

What began with an online search for cash home buyers in Texas ended with a completed home sale in less than three months.

Jorge’s experience also highlights something worth remembering: homeowners don’t have to limit themselves to a single way of finding buyers.

Houzeo Cash Offers offers sellers an additional opportunity to connect with potential cash buyers, while the open market can provide another path to a successful sale.

And although every home and market is different, Jorge’s journey shows how exploring your options can fit into a successful selling plan.
