Do all heirs have to agree to the sale?

If there is a will naming an executor, generally no — the executor has authority. Without a will, the administrator typically needs the heirs' written consent. Your attorney will confirm.

How fast can you close on my Corpus Christi house?

Most of our cash purchases in the Coastal Bend close in 7 to 21 days at a local title company. If you need more time — for example, while finalizing a probate case or coordinating a move — we can extend the closing date to fit your schedule.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No. We are direct cash buyers, not agents. There are no listing fees, no agent commissions, and we pay standard closing costs at the title company. The number on your offer is the number you walk away with at closing.

Do I need to clean out the house or make repairs?

Never. You can leave behind anything you do not want — old furniture, appliances, debris, even items left by a previous tenant or family member. We buy houses in any condition across Corpus Christi, Portland, Rockport, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Kingsville, and the surrounding Coastal Bend.

Can You Sell a House in Probate in Texas?

Short answer: yes, you can sell a house that is in probate in Texas — and in most Corpus Christi cases the process is more flexible than people expect. Texas's Independent Administration framework, used in the vast majority of estates, gives executors broad authority to sell real property without ongoing court supervision. That said, the exact steps depend on the type of administration, what the will says, and whether all the heirs are aligned. This guide breaks down how a probate house sale actually works in Texas, what your timeline looks like, and where a cash buyer fits in.

Why Texas Probate Sales Are Easier Than You Think

Texas is one of the most executor-friendly probate states in the country. Once the court issues Letters Testamentary (with a will) or Letters of Administration (without one), the executor or administrator typically has the authority to negotiate, sign, and close a real estate sale without going back to the judge for approval. The main exceptions are Dependent Administrations and a handful of contested cases. Your probate attorney will know within the first hearing which path your estate is on.

Common Challenges

Waiting for Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration to be issued
Notifying creditors and resolving any claims against the estate
Coordinating with multiple heirs who may live in different states
Handling the contents of the home before or after sale
Title companies requiring specific probate documentation

How We Help

We write our cash offer immediately and hold it through the probate timeline. Once your attorney clears the sale, we close — often in under a week from green light. We also coordinate directly with the title company on the documents they need (Letters, Order Admitting Will, Affidavit of Heirship if applicable) so you are not chasing paperwork.

Zero real estate agent commissions (typically 5–6% of sale price)
No appraisals, no financing contingencies, no loan fall-throughs
Pick your own closing date — fast or flexible
We pay standard closing costs at the title company
Confidential, no public MLS listing or open houses
No banks, lenders, or inspector demands holding up the deal

Our Process

1. Tell Us About Your Property

Share a few quick details using the form or our Instant Cash Offer Calculator. We do not need cleaned, repaired, or staged photos — describe the house honestly and we will work with you from there.

2. We Run the Numbers Locally

Our team pulls real Corpus Christi and Coastal Bend comparables, accounts for needed repairs, holding costs, and after-repair value, and prepares a written, no-obligation cash offer — usually within 24 hours.

3. Walk-Through on Your Schedule

A friendly buyer from our team meets you at the property (or jumps on a video call) for a short walk-through. There is no pressure, no judgment about the condition, and no checklist of demands.

4. Close at a Local Title Company

Choose your closing date — as fast as 7 days, or 60+ days out if you need time to move. We close at a reputable Corpus Christi title company, you sign, and you walk away with cash. We even cover standard closing costs.

Local Coastal Bend Context

Most Corpus Christi probate cases are heard in Nueces County Probate Court at the courthouse on Leopard Street, with smaller estates sometimes handled in the County Courts at Law. Independent Administration is by far the most common path locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

From filing to issuance of Letters typically takes 30–60 days in Nueces County. The actual sale can be negotiated and contracted during that time and close shortly after Letters issue.
