From first call to funded
in as little as 17 days.
Most cash buyer sites give you a stock infographic and a vague promise. We’ll show you exactly how the money moves, who’s involved, and what we can — and can’t — promise.

You tell us about the house
A 60-second form, or a phone call if that's easier. We ask about location, condition, beds and baths, and your timeline. Nothing technical, nothing legal yet.

You get paid at a local title company
Closing is at a title company you trust — or one we recommend. You bring an ID, sign the deed, and leave with your money. Wire or certified check. We pay the closing costs; the one deduction is the flat transaction fee named in your offer.

Some sellers will net more on the MLS. Others will trade that upside for speed, certainty, and not having strangers walk through their kitchen. We’ll tell you honestly which side you’re probably on.
Want to see the gap in dollars for your own house? Run the numbers yourself — no address, no email, nothing submitted.
- How do you decide what to offer?
- Recent comparable sales, the home's current condition, the cost to bring it to retail-ready, and our holding costs. Ask and we'll show you the math — we'd rather you understand the number than just accept it.
- What happens to the house after closing?
- Once we close, the house is ours to decide on — we may renovate and hold as a rental, resell to another investor, or list it later. Whatever serves the property and our portfolio best. Either way, you have your cash and a clean break the day we fund.
- What if the house has tenants, code violations, or back taxes?
- Bring it on. Tenants in place, liens, foundation issues, fire damage, hoarder situations — none of it disqualifies a house, and the offer accounts for it. Alan is a licensed Texas broker and has worked through all of it on the brokerage side.
- Will my neighbors know I sold?
- Eventually, probably — public records always catch up. But there's no sign in the yard, no listing, no open house, and your reason for selling is never part of it. The transaction stays between us and the title company.
- Can I get a second opinion?
- Please do. Talk to an agent, your accountant, family. Our offer is good for 7 days so you can do your homework. We'd rather you be sure than rushed.
- Is there a fee?
- One, and it's a flat $9,500 transaction fee. Nothing to get the offer, nothing to walk away, nothing out of pocket at any point — if you accept and we close, the fee comes out of the proceeds at the title company. It's written into the offer you receive, it doesn't move, and it's how we make money alongside buying right. Beyond that there's no commission, no repair bill, and we pay the closing costs.
Then list it — and I’d rather help you do that than talk you out of it.
For plenty of houses a prepared sale on the open market nets more, and the calculator above says so in dollars. If that’s your house, selling to me would cost you money — so let’s not do that. I’m also a licensed Texas broker, and listing is the other half of what I actually do.
No obligation and no catch: if you list, I don’t buy the house. That trade is fine by me — a seller who nets more is a better outcome than a seller who felt cornered.
Both open on alanhernandezhouston.com — my brokerage side.
