How it works

Three steps. No listing, no showings, no waiting on a bank.

Selling the traditional way can take months — repairs, staging, showings, inspections, and a buyer whose financing can still fall through at the end. Selling to EZ Home Buying looks like this instead:

1

Reach out

Fill out the short form or call (409) 293-4716. Tell us a little about the house and your situation. We'll schedule a quick walk-through — in person or with photos, whichever is easier for you.

Takes about 5 minutes
2

Get your cash offer

We review the property, recent sales nearby, and the work it needs — then give you one clear, no-obligation cash number. No games, no pressure, and no obligation to accept. Take the time you need to decide.

Within 24 hours
3

Pick your closing date

Accept the offer and we open title with a local title company. We can close in as fast as 7 days, or wait until a date that works better for you. Leave behind anything you don't want — we'll handle the cleanout.

As fast as 7 days

Meet the founder

One local buyer. One person accountable for your sale.

EZ Home Buying was founded by David Smith — a Southeast Texas local, a real estate investor, and a 10-year active-duty U.S. Marine veteran.

David started EZ Home Buying after seeing how hard the traditional process is on people who don't have months to spare: families settling an estate, landlords done with rentals, homeowners facing repairs they can't afford. A big national buying company sends you to a call center. Here, the person who makes your offer is the person who shows up, answers the phone, and sits across from you at closing.

The deal is simple: a fair cash offer based on real local numbers, honest communication the whole way through, and a closing that happens when we say it will. If we're not the right fit for your situation, we'll tell you that too — and point you toward the option that puts more money in your pocket.

Compare your options

Listing with an agent isn't your only option — and neither is the first investor who calls.

Here's an honest side-by-side. For some sellers, listing really is the better move. For others, certainty and speed are worth more. You decide with the full picture in front of you.

Estimate only — not an offer

What's your net? Compare a cash sale vs. listing — with real numbers.

Move the numbers to match your house. You'll see an estimated cash offer from EZ Home Buying — 65% of the fixed-up value, minus repairs — next to an estimated net from selling with an agent — after repairs, commission, and closing costs. No email required to see the math.

Your best guess at the home's value if it were repaired and move-in ready — what a similar updated home nearby would sell for.

$200,000Estimated market value
$50,000$500,000

Pick the closest level. This is the repair cost you'd likely pay to list it — EZ buyers take it as-is, so you pay $0 with us.

If you still owe on the house, add it to see what you'd actually walk away with after payoff. Leave blank if it's paid off.

Liens or back taxes? Those are usually paid from proceeds at closing too — David can run those exact numbers for you.

Estimate only — this is not an offer. Our offers typically start around 65% of after-repair value (ARV), minus estimated repairs — that's the math used here: (fixed-up value × 65%) − repairs. The listing estimate assumes a sale at the full fixed-up value, a 6% agent commission, 2% seller closing costs, and 2% holding costs while listed; actual commissions are negotiable and actual costs vary. A real offer comes only after a quick walkthrough (in person or with photos) and a look at recent sales near your home, and can be higher or lower depending on condition and repairs. No obligation either way — if listing would net you more and you have the time, we'll tell you so.

Situations we help with

Whatever you're facing, we've probably helped a neighbor through it.

Most of the people who call us aren't just selling a house — they're solving a problem. Here's where a fast, as-is cash sale helps most:

⏳ Pre-foreclosure & foreclosure

Behind on payments, in pre-foreclosure, or already received a foreclosure notice? A cash sale before the auction date can pay off the loan, protect your credit, and put the stress behind you. Time matters — call early.

🏠 Inherited property

Settling a family home is hard enough without repairs, cleanout, and months on the market. We buy inherited houses as-is — leave what you don't want, take what matters.

💔 Going through divorce

When both parties need the house sold and the equity split, a fast, clean cash closing removes one big thing from an already difficult list. One offer, one closing date.

🚚 Relocating

New job, family move, or leaving Southeast Texas? Don't carry two payments or manage a listing from three states away. Pick a closing date that matches your move.

🔑 Tired landlords

Done with late rent, repairs, and problem tenants? We buy rentals as-is — with tenants in place — so you don't have to wait for a lease to end or a unit to empty.

🔨 Major repairs needed

Roof, foundation, HVAC, storm or flood damage — repairs like these scare off traditional buyers and their lenders. They don't scare us. We buy the house exactly as it sits.

🏚️ Distressed & fixer-upper houses

Dated, damaged, half-renovated, or just run down — if a house needs more work than a regular buyer (or their lender) will accept, it's exactly what we buy. No repairs, no cleanup, no staging.

🧱 Foundation issues

Cracks, settling, sloping floors, or doors that won't close — foundation problems kill most traditional sales and scare off lenders. They don't stop us. We buy with foundation issues as-is.

🌧️ Fire, flood & storm damage

Hurricane, flood, fire, or roof damage — even if insurance didn't cover everything. We buy damaged houses in the condition they're in today, so you don't have to fund the rebuild to sell.

⚖️ Probate & estate sales

Settling an estate through probate? We work with executors, heirs, and attorneys, buy in the estate's name once the court allows it, and handle the cleanout so the family doesn't have to.

📄 Liens & back taxes

Tax liens, code issues, or an unclear title don't automatically end a sale. In many cases the liens are paid from the proceeds at closing. Let's look at your numbers together.

📦 Downsizing or a vacant home

An empty house is a cost and a worry — insurance, upkeep, and risk. Whether you're downsizing or holding a vacant property, we can close on your schedule and handle the rest.

“It needs too much work to sell.”

That's exactly the kind of house we buy. Peeling paint, an old roof, a kitchen from another decade — none of it changes whether we'll make you an offer. Condition affects the number, never whether you get one.

The full list — if it's on here, we can buy it

These are the situations and conditions we see every week in Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin County. Check off yours — in most cases, more than one will apply, and that's fine.

  • Vacant or abandoned house
  • Won't pass inspectionOr won't qualify for an FHA / VA buyer loan.
  • Code violations from the city

Liens, title & legal

Paperwork problems don't always end a sale. Many are settled right at closing.

  • Back property taxes owed
  • Tax liens
  • Judgment or IRS liens
  • Mechanic's or contractor liens
  • Clouded or unclear title
  • Multiple owners or heirs
  • Family disagreement over the house
  • House held in a trust or estate
  • Listed before and didn't sellExpired listing, or you pulled it off the market.
  • Need to close by a hard deadline
  • Just want it sold — no showings, no hassle

Cash home buyers near you

We buy houses in Beaumont, Groves, Port Neches & Nederland

If you're searching "sell my house fast" or "cash home buyers near me" in Mid-County or Beaumont, you're in the right place. EZ Home Buying is a local cash buyer — not a national call center — and these are the communities we buy in most:

Sell Your House Fast in Beaumont, TX

Beaumont is the largest city we serve, and its older housing stock means plenty of homes that need more work than a traditional buyer — or their lender — will accept. We buy houses for cash across Beaumont in any condition: inherited homes, rentals with tenants in place, houses with foundation or roof problems, and properties behind on payments. One walk-through, a cash offer within 24 hours, and a closing date you choose.

Cash Home Buyers in Port Neches, TX

Plant schedules, turnarounds, and transfers make Port Neches moves happen fast — and a traditional listing rarely keeps up. We buy houses in Port Neches for cash, as-is, so relocating families and tired landlords can close in as fast as 7 days or on the exact date a move requires. Flood or storm damage, an outdated interior, or a house full of belongings doesn't change whether we make an offer.

Questions, answered straight

Frequently asked questions

Don't see your question here? Call (409) 293-4716 and ask David directly.

How fast can you actually buy my house?▾

Once you accept our cash offer, we can close in as fast as 7 days, depending on how quickly title comes back clear. If you need more time — to find your next place, finish a move, or settle family matters — we can just as easily set closing 30, 60, or more days out. The date is yours to pick.

Do I need to make repairs or clean anything?▾

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — roof problems, foundation issues, outdated kitchens, storm damage, or a house full of belongings. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.

Are there any fees, commissions, or hidden costs?▾

No. There are no agent commissions, no listing fees, and no service charges from us, and we pay standard closing costs. The cash offer we agree on is the amount you'll see on your side of the settlement statement, minus only any existing mortgage balance or liens that are paid off at closing — and we'll walk through those numbers with you before you sign anything.

How do you come up with my offer?▾

We start with what your home would be worth fixed up — its after-repair value, or ARV, based on what similar homes nearby have recently sold for. Our offers typically start around 65% of that ARV, minus the estimated cost of repairs your home needs. We're happy to walk you through the numbers line by line after a quick walkthrough. If listing your home would net you more and you have the time, we'll tell you so.

Am I obligated to accept the offer?▾

Not at all. Your offer is free and comes with no obligation and no pressure. Take your time, talk it over with family, and compare it against your other options. If the answer is no, we part as neighbors — and the offer stays open if your situation changes.

What if I'm behind on payments or facing foreclosure?▾

Call us as early as you can. In many cases we can buy the home before the foreclosure is complete, pay off the loan at closing, and help you avoid a foreclosure on your record. Once a property has gone to auction it's usually too late, so timing matters — but we'll be honest with you about what's still possible in your situation.

What if there are tenants in the property?▾

That's fine. We buy rental properties with tenants in place, including month-to-month and non-paying situations. You don't need to wait for a lease to end, start an eviction, or empty the home before we can close.

What kinds of properties do you buy?▾

Single-family homes in any condition across Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin County — distressed properties, fixer-uppers, houses with foundation, roof, fire, flood, or storm damage, inherited and probate properties, rentals with tenants in place, vacant homes, and homes with lien, title, or back-tax issues. See the full list under Situations We Help With. If you're not sure your property qualifies, call and ask — the conversation is free.

Who handles the paperwork and closing?▾

We do. We open the file with a reputable local title company, they handle the title search and paperwork, and you sign at closing and receive your funds by wire or cashier's check. It's the same formal closing process as any other home sale — just without the months of steps in front of it.

How do I find cash home buyers in Beaumont, TX?▾

Start local. A real local buyer has a physical address here, answers their own phone, and can explain exactly how their offer is calculated. EZ Home Buying is based in Groves and buys houses for cash across Beaumont and Jefferson County — call (409) 293-4716, talk to David directly, and get a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. Be cautious with out-of-state companies that make an offer sight-unseen and then shop your contract to other buyers.

Can I sell my house fast if I owe back taxes or have liens?▾

In most cases, yes. Back property taxes, tax liens, and many judgment or contractor liens are simply paid off from the sale proceeds at closing — you don't need the cash up front to clear them. Tell us what you know about the liens when you call, the title company will confirm the amounts, and we'll show you exactly what you'd net before you decide anything.

Find out what your house is worth in cash — today.

One short form or one phone call. You'll have a real, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours, from a local veteran-owned buyer who answers his own phone.
