Why sell your Austin house with SellMyHouse.co
Here’s what makes selling to a cash home buyer different from a traditional Austin listing.
-
No repairs required. You don’t have to fix, clean, or stage the home before getting an offer. Cash home buyers purchase in almost any condition.
-
No inspection negotiations. Traditional buyers often come back with repair demands after the inspection. Cash home buyers purchase the home without requiring you to fix what the inspection reveals.
-
No commissions. There are no agent commissions when you sell through SellMyHouse.co.
-
No financing contingency. Cash home buyers don’t depend on typical mortgage approval, so the deal doesn’t fall through over a lender’s decision.
-
No closing costs. Cash home buyers cover the closing costs sellers typically absorb.
-
Close on your schedule. You pick the closing date, fast or at a pace that works for your situation.
You can see what a cash home buyer will offer without any cost or commitment.
What Austin sellers need to know
It’s worth knowing the Texas home sale requirements that apply to every Austin seller before the process gets too far along.
Seller’s disclosure form
Texas requires sellers to complete a disclosure form before signing a contract. The form covers known defects in structural components, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Selling as is means you won’t fix the issues, not that you can skip the form.
Lead-based paint disclosure
For homes built before 1978, federal law requires a lead-based paint disclosure. This includes providing the EPA’s Protect Your Family pamphlet and a statement of any known lead hazards.
No state real estate transfer tax
Texas does not charge a real estate transfer tax, which keeps seller costs lower than in many other states.
No attorney required
A title company typically handles the title search, escrow, deed recording, and distribution of proceeds. An attorney is not required at closing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Austin house?
Do I still need to complete the Seller's Disclosure Notice if I'm selling as is?
Yes. Texas requires sellers to provide a Seller’s Disclosure Notice regardless of sale type. Selling as is means you won’t repair the issues, but you cannot omit them from the disclosure.
