Sell Your House Fast in Texas
We Buy Houses Across Texas in Any Condition, Any Situation
Texas homeowners face a unique mix of pressures — surging property tax bills, rapid market shifts in metros like Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, hurricane risk along the Gulf Coast, and an influx of corporate relocations that whipsaw values year to year. Keyheart buys houses for cash across all 254 Texas counties, from the Panhandle to the Rio Grande Valley.
The Texas Real Estate Market
Texas remains one of the most active real estate markets in the country, with no state income tax drawing residents from California, New York, and Illinois. But that growth comes with friction — property taxes rank 6th highest in the US (effective rate ~1.6%), and homeowners in fast-growing suburbs often see annual reappraisals that outpace their income.
What Texas Sellers Need to Know
Texas uses non-judicial foreclosure, meaning a lender can take a house back in as little as 41 days from the first missed payment notice. Texas also has a 4-year window to file probate after death. The state's homestead exemption protects up to $100,000 from school district taxes for residents 65+, but doesn't protect equity from foreclosure if you fall behind.
Common Situations We Help Texas Homeowners Solve
- Hurricane and storm damage along the Gulf Coast — Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Brownsville
- Property tax burdens forcing fixed-income sellers to relocate, especially in Travis, Collin, and Denton counties
- Corporate relocations creating fast-turnaround needs in DFW, Austin, and Houston tech corridors
- Inherited rural land and ranch properties across West and South Texas
- Pre-foreclosure homeowners needing to close before the 41-day non-judicial timeline runs out

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Texas
How fast can foreclosure happen in Texas?
Texas has one of the fastest non-judicial foreclosure timelines in the country — as little as 41 days from your first Notice of Default to the courthouse auction. If you're behind on payments, every week matters. Keyheart can close on a Texas home in as little as 7 days, giving homeowners time to walk away with cash instead of a foreclosure on their credit.
Do I have to pay state capital gains tax when selling my Texas house?
No. Texas has no state income tax and no state capital gains tax. You may still owe federal capital gains tax on any profit above the IRS exclusion ($250K single / $500K married), but Texas itself doesn't add to that bill.
How does the Texas homestead exemption work when I sell?
The homestead exemption reduces your annual property tax bill while you live in the home. When you sell, the exemption simply goes away — the buyer applies for their own. It doesn't affect how much cash you walk away with, but if you've been counting on the over-65 freeze or the school-tax cap to keep your taxes manageable, you'll lose that protection on your next home unless you re-establish residency.
Will Keyheart buy rural land or ranch property in Texas?
Yes. We buy houses, mobile homes, and land across Texas — including rural acreage, ranches, and undeveloped lots. Tell us what you have and we'll make a fair cash offer within 24 hours.
