Sell Your Houston Home for Cash. Just Don't Sell It Short

Traditional cash home buyers pay 50–70% of fair market value. iBuyers like Opendoor and Offerpad pay 70–80%, after a service fee of about 5%. Houzeo Cash Offers connects you with vetted investors and iBuyers active in the Houston metro. They compete for your listing, so offers regularly land between 70–100% of fair market value. Houston has a large base of local and out-of-state real estate investors. That competition helps push offers toward the top of the range.

Opendoor and Offerpad are iBuyers. You get one algorithm-generated offer. It only applies if your home meets their eligibility rules, which usually require a move-in-ready property under a set age and price range. Houston has no formal zoning code, so property types and lot uses vary widely block to block. That variation can push more homes outside an iBuyer's narrow criteria. Houzeo Cash Offers works differently. Your property goes out to a network of investors buying houses for cash across Houston, including buyers who purchase older homes, homes on unrestricted land, and properties with foundation issues. You compare multiple competing bids instead of accepting one offer.

Most buyers in Houzeo's network make an offer within 24–48 hours of you submitting your property details. Closing typically takes 7–14 days. Texas doesn't require an attorney at closing, which helps keep the process fast. Homes in flood-prone areas may need extra time for a flood zone disclosure or elevation certificate, especially in neighborhoods affected by past storms. Plan for this step if your property sits in a mapped floodplain.

No. Getting a cash offer through Houzeo is free. There are no commissions or fees to receive and compare offers. iBuyers like Opendoor and Offerpad work differently. They typically deduct a service fee, often around 5%, from their final offer.

Yes. Investors in Houzeo's network buy homes as-is. This includes homes with foundation damage, which is common across Houston due to the region's expansive clay soil, as well as flood damage, roof issues, and tenant or probate complications. Opendoor and Offerpad generally only buy move-in-ready homes, so their coverage is narrower.
