We buy houses in San Antonio, TX

Sell your house fast in San Antonio, TX, for cash and as-is.

You can sell your house fast in San Antonio without getting it ready for showings. We buy houses for cash in their current condition, including an older home in Tobin Hill or a rental in Highland Park. You tell us what needs work. We look at the house and give you an offer.

Maybe the AC has quit, the kitchen still looks like it did when you moved in, or you're paying bills on an inherited house across town. You don't have to spend money fixing it before you can leave. Send the address and we'll make a cash offer within 24 hours. There are no closing costs, and you choose when to move.

Median home value

Owner-occupied homes

San Antonio's median year built is 1985, so plenty of roofs and AC systems are at the age where they fail. About half the homes are owner occupied, so we also hear from landlords with houses that have taken years of wear. The median home value of $235,700 won't tell you what your house will bring, especially with repairs waiting.

The kinds of San Antonio houses we buy

San Antonio has wood frame houses with front porches in its older neighborhoods, brick homes on established residential streets, and newer subdivision houses. A place in Monte Vista can have a very different repair list from a home in the Medical Center area. Older siding, tired wiring or a floor that feels uneven can turn preparing for a listing into a project you never wanted. We look at the actual condition rather than asking you to make the house match nearby renovated listings.

You can leave an unfinished bathroom, worn carpet or a garage full of things you haven't sorted. We also buy houses with roof leaks and cooling systems that need replacement. Tell us about the work you started and the problems you already know about. We use that information when pricing the house, so you can decide whether the cash offer works for you before taking on another repair bill.

The San Antonio situations we buy in

Exterior work in a historic district

If your house is in a local historic district such as King William or Dignowity Hill, the city has to review and approve exterior work. Fixing the house up for a listing can mean that process on top of the cost. We buy it as-is, so you don't have to start an exterior project first.

The AC quits in summer

San Antonio's summer heat makes a failing cooling system hard to put off. If you already planned to sell, replacing it can use money you need for your move. We can price the house with the existing system, even when it doesn't run. You don't have to arrange a replacement before asking for an offer.

An older house needs too much work

An older home in Lavaca or Government Hill may have peeling siding, worn porch boards or rooms that need updating. You might have kept it livable for years without ever catching up on everything. Give us the repair list as it stands. We can buy the house with those jobs unfinished and leave the work for after closing.

Behind on the mortgage

Texas lets a lender sell a house at a public auction at the courthouse. The lender has to send notice at least 21 days before the sale. Send us your address and the sale date early. If we close before the auction, the lender gets paid at closing and the sale stops.

A rental you want to sell

You may be handling tenant calls at a Highland Park house while living on the other side of town. When repairs and trips to the property have become too much, you can sell with tenants still there. Tell us about the lease and the condition. We'll work through the move or continued occupancy plan with you.

An inherited home still full of belongings

Sorting a family's house can take more out of you than the repairs. If you're responsible for a San Antonio home you don't want to keep, we can look at it with furniture and belongings still inside. You choose what to take. We can close when the ownership paperwork is ready and on a date that fits your plans.

How selling for cash works in San Antonio

Call us or fill out the form with your San Antonio property address. We'll ask about the house, look at its condition and send a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, a title company handles the closing and settlement, including the lender payoff. You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or give you more time to move if that's what you need.

If you fall behind on your mortgage, the lender can sell the house at a public auction. In Bexar County the sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month, any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., on the west side of the Bexar County Courthouse at 100 Dolorosa in downtown San Antonio. When that Tuesday lands on January 1 or July 4, the sale moves to the first Wednesday.

The lender must give notice at least 21 days before the auction. It gets posted at the courthouse door, filed with the county clerk and mailed to you by certified mail. If you want to sell first, send us the notice and we'll work toward closing before that date. The title company pays off the lender at closing, and the sale stops.

How it works

Three steps to a cash sale.

1

Tell us about the house

Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.

2

Get your cash offer

We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.

3

Close on your date

You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.

Run the numbers on a San Antonio sale

Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.

What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in San Antonio is worth about $235,700. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $14,142 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.

Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal

"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
D. Williams, Baltimore County, MD
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
T. Jackson, Prince George's County, MD
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
Kourtney Wright, Google review
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
Margaret, Florida
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"

Our promise to you

What you can hold us to when you sell

You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.

The number holds

The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.

A contract you can read

Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.

You pick the date

Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.

The truth, even if we lose the deal

If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
