Frequently Asked Questions

We are direct buyers. We use our own funds to purchase your home — we do not assign your contract to another investor. We can provide a proof of funds letter before you sign anything. A signed agreement with G&R Pecan Investments means we are buying your house — not someone else.

We look at recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, assess the home's current condition, and estimate what repairs would be needed to bring it to market. We then factor in our holding and selling costs and arrive at a number we can confidently pay. We'll walk you through the entire calculation — there are no mystery numbers and no pressure to accept.

Most closings happen in 14–21 days once we have a signed agreement. In urgent situations — like an active foreclosure — we've moved as fast as 7 days when the title is clear. If you need more time, that's equally fine. You set the closing date; we work around your schedule.

Usually yes — one brief walkthrough. The purpose is to confirm the property's condition and coordinate with our contractors on the renovation scope. It is not an inspection designed to find reasons to lower the price. What we offer is what we pay. If something major wasn't disclosed, we'll have a conversation — but we don't use walkthroughs as a negotiating tactic.

Not a single thing. Take what you want and leave the rest — old furniture, junk in the garage, years of accumulated stuff. We buy as-is and take care of everything after closing. You don't owe us a clean house.

We cover all closing costs. The number we offer is the number you walk away with. No title fees deducted from your side, no escrow fees, no surprise charges at the table. We believe in making it simple: one clean number, that's your check.

Yes — as long as the foreclosure auction has not yet occurred, you still own your home and can sell it. We've coordinated directly with lenders to stop the auction process before the date. The sooner you call, the more options we have. Don't wait until the last week — contact us the moment you receive any foreclosure notice.

It depends on where the probate stands. In Texas, if there is a valid will and an executor has been appointed, we can often purchase during the probate process with court approval. If there is no will (intestate), we work with probate attorneys to determine the right path. We've resolved heir disputes, located missing heirs, and cleared judgment liens through our title company partners. Contact us early — the earlier we look at the title, the more options we have.

Houston clay soil and flood risk are factors we deal with constantly. We understand what real foundation repairs and remediation cost — and we price our offers honestly with that in mind. There will be no "I didn't realize it was this bad" deduction after the walkthrough. If we know there's significant foundation work, we'll factor it in before we present the offer — not after.

Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. Whether you have a non-paying tenant you can't bring yourself to evict, a difficult renter, or good tenants on a lease you'd like us to honor — we handle all tenant matters after closing. You hand us the keys and walk away. That becomes our responsibility, not yours.

These are common — and they don't stop a sale. Our title company specializes in clearing liens, settling back taxes, and resolving HOA arrears at closing. The payoffs come out of the sale proceeds, and you receive the net amount. You don't need to pay off anything upfront or scramble to resolve it yourself.

Yes, and we handle it with discretion. We can work with both parties jointly or coordinate with each party's attorney. A fast, clean sale often removes one major source of conflict during an already stressful time. We comply with Texas property laws regarding community property and will work with your legal counsel to ensure a smooth transaction.

Our offers reflect real market value minus the cost of repairs and our operating margin. They are not designed to match what you'd get after a full renovation and listing on the MLS — that wouldn't be sustainable for us. But they are designed to be fair given the condition of the home and the convenience we're providing. We'll show you the comparable sales we used so you can judge for yourself.

We'll tell you. If your home is in excellent condition and you have the time and resources to wait for a financed buyer through a realtor, you may net more money that way. We work with trusted Houston real estate agents and can refer you if that's genuinely the better path. Our goal is to help you make the right decision — not to close a deal that doesn't serve your interests.

Absolutely — and you should ask for this from any cash buyer. We'll provide a proof of funds letter before you sign any agreement. Never sign a purchase contract with a buyer who refuses to show you they have the money to close.

The title company handles all fund disbursements at closing. You can receive your proceeds via wire transfer directly to your bank account — same day — or as a certified check. The title company also pays off any remaining mortgage balance, liens, and taxes from the proceeds before disbursing your net amount.
