I know the San Marcos market is unique. I know driving I-35 to Austin is a grind. I see Ranch style homes dealing with Cast Iron Pipes or strict Historic Preservation Districts. Unlike Keller Williams San Marcos, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $22,500 in commissions. We handle the City of San Marcos Utility and Hays County Appraisal District paperwork for you.

Provide details about your San Marcos home through our simple online form or a quick phone call. We need basic information, not a detailed inspection.
We present a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. Our offer is transparent, with no hidden fees or surprise costs.
If you accept, we handle all paperwork and close the sale on your preferred date, often in as little as 7 days. You get your cash, free from hassle.
Inheriting a property can be complex, especially during an emotional time. In Texas, the probate process involves specific legal timelines, and delays with the Hays County Clerk can extend everything. Our team has extensive experience working with estates and can simplify the sale of an inherited home. We offer a direct cash purchase, helping you avoid prolonged legal battles, ongoing property taxes, and the stress of maintaining a vacant property. We respect your situation and provide a compassionate, efficient solution to liquidating inherited real estate in San Marcos.
Whether you're facing intestate succession or dealing with a complex will, we can guide you through the property sale aspect, ensuring a smooth transition of the asset. We close quickly, providing funds that can help settle estate debts or be distributed among beneficiaries without waiting for the traditional market.
Facing foreclosure in Texas is a stressful situation, but you have options. Texas operates under a non-judicial foreclosure process, meaning it can move quickly. After a missed payment, lenders issue a Notice of Default, typically giving you 20 days to cure the default. If unresolved, a Notice of Sale must be posted and mailed at least 21 days before the scheduled foreclosure auction. This means the window to act can be as short as 41 days from the first official notice. We specialize in buying homes facing foreclosure, offering a quick cash sale that can prevent the process from completing and save your credit. Selling to us allows you to walk away with cash in hand, avoiding the public record of a foreclosure and giving you a fresh start.
Don't wait until the last minute. The sooner you reach out, the more options you'll have. We can often close within days, giving you the control to resolve your financial situation before the bank takes over your San Marcos property.
Selling a home with unpermitted work or existing code violations can be a major roadblock with traditional buyers. Many San Marcos homes, especially older Ranch style properties, might have issues like aging electrical systems, outdated plumbing (like original Cast Iron Pipes), or unpermitted renovations that were never brought up to current code. Rectifying these problems requires time, money, and dealing with local permitting offices – often a lengthy and frustrating process.
We buy homes as-is, meaning you don't need to retrofit, obtain permits for old work, or worry about passing inspections. We take on the responsibility and cost of any necessary repairs or code compliance after the sale. This eliminates a significant burden and allows you to sell quickly without investing more into a property you're leaving.
| Potential Repair | Estimated Cost | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron Pipes Replacement | ~$8,000 | Full Cash Offer (As-Is) |
| Roof Replacement | ~$15,000 | |
| Foundation Repair (due to Clay Soil Heave) | ~$25,000 |
These are estimated costs; actual expenses can vary significantly. With MyFastCashOffer, you pay $0 for repairs.
Max's Insight:
San Marcos code enforcement is strict about Historic Preservation Districts. We buy with the violation attached, so you don't have to navigate complex regulations or costly retrofits. We understand these specific local challenges.
San Marcos is a vibrant city with diverse neighborhoods, each offering a unique living experience. From historic charm to modern master-planned communities, we understand the specific nuances that define value and living in each area. We buy homes across the entire city, including these key districts:
The heart of the city, Downtown San Marcos, is rich in history and culture. It's home to unique shops, local restaurants, and the vibrant life around Texas State University. Properties here often boast classic architecture, offering a walkable lifestyle with easy access to the San Marcos River and city events. Being close to Rattler Stadium connects residents to local sports and community pride. Homes here can present unique challenges related to age and, in some cases, proximity to Historic Preservation Districts. We appreciate the character of these homes and offer fair cash prices.
Located on the city's west side, Saddlebrook is a well-established residential area known for its family-friendly atmosphere. It features a mix of housing styles, generally offering more space and quiet living away from the immediate university bustle. Residents appreciate its proximity to quality schools within the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District (SMCISD), making it a desirable location for those prioritizing education. While newer than downtown, some homes in Saddlebrook might still encounter common Central Texas issues like Clay Soil Heave over time. We assess properties thoroughly and offer solutions.
Nestled around the stunning Spring Lake, this neighborhood offers a unique blend of natural beauty and established residences. Many homes here enjoy scenic views and access to outdoor recreation, reflecting a more serene living environment. The area is slightly older, with homes that may reflect mid-century designs. Residents often commute towards Austin for work, finding Spring Lake Hills a peaceful retreat after navigating the I-35 corridor. Properties here might have specific characteristics or age-related concerns that we are prepared to evaluate and purchase without requiring updates.
As a prominent master-planned community in San Marcos, Blanco Vista offers newer construction and a host of amenities, including parks, trails, and community pools. It's attractive to families and those seeking modern conveniences. Its location provides convenient access to both San Marcos and the growing employment opportunities in Kyle (78640), as well as an easier jump onto I-35 for the commute to Austin. While newer, even these homes can face specific local concerns, though generally with fewer significant material defects like Cast Iron Pipes. Regardless, we offer a transparent process for selling any home in Blanco Vista quickly.
From the established homes near Rattler Stadium (Source: SMCISD) to convenient retail centers like the H-E-B Plus! on Wonder World Drive (Source: H-E-B Corporate), we understand the value and intricacies of every corner of San Marcos. Our local expertise ensures your property is evaluated accurately and purchased efficiently, reflecting its true market value.

No, you do not. We buy houses in San Marcos strictly as-is. This means you don't need to worry about any repairs, renovations, or even cleaning. Whether your home has Cast Iron Pipes issues, needs a new roof, or has foundation problems, we handle everything.
Unlike a traditional real estate agent, who lists your home and charges a commission (typically 6%), we are direct cash buyers. We don't list your home; we buy it directly from you. This means no showings, no fees, no repairs, and a guaranteed sale on your timeline, saving you thousands of dollars.
