Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers about selling your house to Raul and First Offer LLC.
Offer & obligation
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. The offer is in writing and there’s no obligation to accept it.
Do I pay any fees, commissions or closing costs?
No fees, no agent commissions and no closing costs on your side.
How do you figure out my offer?
We start with what the house would be worth fully renovated, then subtract the cost of repairs, our selling costs and our minimum profit. That’s the same formula shown under How It Works on our Sell Your House page.
Will you pressure me to sell?
No harassing, no high-pressure tactics, no pushy people. Take the offer or leave it.
Are you a realtor?
No. First Offer LLC buys houses directly. We don’t list houses for sale or work as anyone’s agent.
Is it free to ask for an offer?
Yes. It takes about a minute and costs nothing. Fill in the form or call Raul.
Condition & situations
Can I sell my house as-is?
Yes.
What situation do you buy houses in?
Every situation.
Can I sell a house with tenants in it?
Yes, you can.
Can I sell if there are liens or back taxes?
Yes.
Do I need to clean or make repairs first?
No. No cleaning and no repairs. We buy the house the way it is.
Can I sell a house that needs expensive repairs?
Yes. Expensive repairs are one of the situations we buy in, and the repairs are already part of how we figure the offer.
Can I sell an inherited house?
Yes. Selling an inherited house is one of the situations we buy in. Tell us where things stand and we’ll go from there.
Can you help if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure?
Yes, avoiding foreclosure is one of the situations we buy in.
What if I’m a tired landlord?
Being fed up with being a landlord is a common reason to sell to us, and you can sell with the tenants still in the house.
Process
How does selling to you work?
Three steps. Fill out the form. Schedule your appointment, where we look at the house and the repairs it needs. If you like the offer, pick your closing date.
Can I choose my closing date?
Yes. We close on your schedule.
Do you need inspections, appraisals or showings?
No official inspections, third-party approvals, open houses or showings. We do one appointment to look at the house ourselves.
What happens after I fill out the form?
Raul reaches out to set up a time to see the house, then presents a written offer.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. Everything you send us is kept confidential.

No, we only buy homes in Texas.
Do you buy houses in San Antonio?

We’re based in San Antonio and buy across South Texas. Look up your county, city and ZIP on our Every Market in Texas page.
Other options
Is a cash offer my only option?
If fast cash isn’t the best option for you, perhaps we can do something creative. See Sell Your House for how that can work.
Will you list my house on the MLS?
No. We’re not realtors and we don’t list houses. We buy them directly, for cash or on terms we agree on in writing.
