Amarillo, Texas — the north side is in Potter County and much of the south side is in Randall County, so the courts and tax office depend on which county your house sits in.
Amarillo homeowners know the roof is rarely a question of if. After hail, a house with an unfinished claim or a roof near the end of its life can be tough to sell to a financed buyer — a cash buyer takes it as-is.
Instead of calling buyer after buyer, send one request. Cash buyers who work in Potter County compete for the house, and we match you with the one that fits your price and your timeline.

More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Foreclosure sales on Amarillo houses are held on the first Tuesday in Potter or Randall County, depending on where the house is. The notice is filed and posted ahead of the sale. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes

Selling for cash in Amarillo: questions
My Amarillo house is on the south side. Does it matter that it's in Randall County?
Only for the paperwork. Your taxes, any probate and any foreclosure run through Randall County instead of Potter County. A cash buyer and title company in Amarillo work with both.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Amarillo?
Texas sales close through a title company, which pays off the loan, the taxes and any HOA balance before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Potter County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
