We buy houses in Dallas County, TX
Sell your house fast in Dallas County, TX, for cash and as-is.
Dallas County has more than 2.6 million people and plenty of houses that will never sell the normal way. We buy them for cash, as-is, from Dallas and Garland to Irving, Mesquite and DeSoto.
Maybe it's a house with a cracked slab, a rental in Irving you're done managing, or your parents' place in Mesquite that has been sitting empty. Send us the address and you'll have a cash number within 24 hours. You don't fix anything, clean anything or pay an agent.

Dallas County housing by the numbers
- 2,621,179
- Residents
- $303,000
- Median home value
- 1983
- Typical home built
- 50.8%
- Owner-occupied homes
About half the homes in Dallas County are rentals, so we hear from a lot of landlords. The typical house was built around 1983, which puts many of them right at the age where the roof, the HVAC and the water heater all want replacing. Those are exactly the repairs that stall a normal sale and don't matter to us.

The kinds of Dallas County houses we buy
Most of the houses we look at in Dallas County are single-story brick ranches from the 1950s through the 1980s, with a lot of newer two-story subdivision homes in the suburbs. Older ranches tend to need the same things: a foundation that has settled, original windows, cast iron drain lines under the slab and an AC unit that's near the end. Newer houses usually need less, but we still see hail-damaged roofs, failing HVAC and the wear a rental picks up between tenants.
We buy all of it, and condition only changes the price, not whether we'll make an offer. Older brick ranches, newer two-story homes, duplexes, houses with a pool nobody uses anymore, and houses that have sat empty long enough for the city to start sending letters.
The Dallas County situations we buy in
Foundation trouble
North Texas clay swells when it rains and shrinks in the summer heat, and slabs crack. Sticking doors, gaps in the brick and sloping floors scare off most retail buyers the moment an inspector writes the word foundation. We price the repair into our offer and buy the house as it is.
The rental you're done with
Half the county rents, which means a lot of tired landlords. If the tenant stopped paying, the place needs work between leases, or you just want out, we buy rentals with the tenants still living there and work out a plan for them with you.
A house you inherited
If the house came to you through a parent's estate, you don't have to clean it out, fix it up or list it. We can make an offer now and close once the estate paperwork lets you sign.
Behind on the mortgage
Texas moves fast. Most foreclosures here never go through a courtroom, and the sale can happen 21 days after the notice is posted. If you're behind, call early. Selling before the sale date pays off the lender at closing.
Code violations and city letters
Tall grass, a broken fence, an empty house the city has flagged. Code violations add fines and stress, and most buyers want them cleared before closing. We buy houses with open violations and deal with the city ourselves after we close.
Moving on a deadline
A job in another city, a move closer to family, a house you can't keep paying for while it sits on the market. We can close in 30 days or less, or on the date your move needs.
How selling for cash works in Dallas County
Here is how a cash sale works in Dallas County. You call or send the form, we look at the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours, and if you say yes, a local title company handles the closing. In Texas, closings usually happen at the title company, and you pick the date.
If you're behind on your mortgage, timing matters more. Dallas County foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of every month outside the George Allen Courts Building at 600 Commerce Street in downtown Dallas. The lender has to post the notice of sale at least 21 days before that Tuesday, and the Dallas County Clerk lists every posted notice on its website.
That leaves about three weeks once a notice goes up. If we buy the house before the sale, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale is cancelled. The earlier you reach out, the more room there is to make that work.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
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.
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.
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 Dallas County 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 Dallas County is worth about $303,000. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $18,180 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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.
