Sound familiar?
Situations Paola hears about every week.
None of these need to be solved before you call. They're just the starting point.
It's sitting vacant
Taxes, insurance and upkeep keep coming while the house sits empty.
It needs more work than you want to take on
Foundation, roof, plumbing or a full update. The repair list is longer than the budget or the patience.
Money is tight
Payments are getting harder to keep up with, and you want to know your options before they narrow.
Life is changing
A divorce, a move or a new job. You need a sale that's simple and private.
You're tired of being a landlord
A tenant-occupied rental or a property that's become more trouble than it's worth.
Why work with Paola
“Most agents list your house and hope it sells. I buy it.”
When you sell to me, you get a fair cash offer fast and close on your timeline, often in a couple of weeks. There are no repairs, no showings, no cleaning, and no commissions. Take what you want and leave the rest behind. I'll handle it.
My goal is simple: solve your problem first. I'm upfront about my numbers so you know exactly how I got to my offer. That honesty is how I build long-term relationships with sellers and agents.
Land, lots & tear-downs
Sometimes the land is the value.
Paola also looks at vacant lots, larger tracts and houses that make more sense as a tear-down. She'll look at the lot, the access and the neighborhood as well as the house.
- Vacant in-town lots and infill parcels
- Larger tracts on the edges of both metros
- Houses past the point of a sensible repair

As-is sale or traditional listing?
Both can be the right answer. Here's how they usually differ, so you can decide with clear eyes.
| What you deal with | Direct as-is sale | Light updates, then list | Traditional listing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repairs before selling | None required | Some, chosen with care | Often, after buyer inspections |
| Cleaning, staging and photos | Not needed | Usually | Usually |
| Showings and open houses | One walkthrough | Yes | Yes |
| Buyer financing approval | Not usually | Usually | Usually |
| Repair requests after inspection | Not usually | Possible | Common |
| Who sets the closing date | Agreed with you | Negotiated | Negotiated |
| Usually best when | The house needs major work, time matters, or privacy does | A few fixes would widen the buyer pool | The home is in good shape and top price is the goal |
Every property is different. Paola will tell you which column your house fits, including when that's a listing, which she can also handle as a licensed agent.
People also ask
Selling a house as-is in Texas: the short answers.
Can you sell a house as-is in Texas?
Yes. In Texas you can sell a house in its current condition without making repairs. You'll usually still give the buyer a Seller's Disclosure Notice (Texas Property Code §5.008), and the price reflects the condition. A direct buyer, like Paola, can purchase as-is, or an agent can list it as-is on the open market.
5 things to know before you sell as-is
- As-is doesn't mean no paperwork. Most home sellers still owe the buyer a Seller's Disclosure Notice.
- Condition limits financing. Homes needing major work can be hard for many mortgage-backed buyers to buy, which shrinks the buyer pool.
- Pricing matters on day one. Austin and San Antonio sellers have been cutting list prices (see the chart).
- Get the options side by side. Compare a direct sale with a listing before you spend money on repairs.
- Know who you're dealing with. A Texas license holder who is buying for themselves must tell you in writing that they're licensed.

FAQ
Questions about selling

Usually, yes. Texas Property Code §5.008 requires most sellers of a single-family home to give the buyer a Seller's Disclosure Notice, even in an as-is sale. Some transfers are exempt, such as certain estate, court-ordered and foreclosure sales. This is general information, not legal advice.
The person with legal authority has to sign, which is usually the executor or administrator, or the heirs once heirship is settled. A probate attorney can tell you where your case stands. Paola can talk through the property side while the paperwork moves. This is general information, not legal advice.
Not necessarily. What stays and what goes is something you agree on up front, in writing.
It depends on the house and on what matters most to you. Listing often brings more buyers when a home is in good shape. A direct as-is sale can make more sense when a house needs major work, is hard to finance or needs privacy. Compare the two.
