Austin and the rest of Travis County, Texas; north Austin addresses in Williamson County follow that county's offices.
Austin land is valuable enough that many sellers of dated houses find buyers paying for the lot as much as the house. A cash sale lets an owner in East Austin or Dove Springs take that value without renovating first or waiting out a long listing.
Instead of calling buyer after buyer, send one request. Cash buyers who work in Travis County compete for the house, and we match you with the one that fits your price and your timeline.

Common situations in Travis County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Austin estates are filed in the Travis County Probate Court. An independent administration lets the executor sign the deed without coming back to the court for permission to sell.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Travis County trustee's sales happen on the first Tuesday; the notices are filed with the County Clerk beforehand. Once a notice is filed, there are only a few weeks to sell, refinance or work something out with the lender. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Travis County Tax Office collects the property tax bill for most Austin-area taxing units. Unpaid accounts are sent to collection attorneys and can lead to a tax suit and a public tax sale.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Austin's Code Department inspects dangerous and substandard buildings and unpermitted work; serious cases can go to the city's Building and Standards Commission.

Evictions in Austin are filed in the Travis County Justice of the Peace courts. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Austin: questions
My Austin house has unpermitted additions. Can I still sell it for cash?
Yes. Cash buyers in Austin buy houses with unpermitted work and either permit it or remove it after closing. Disclose what you know about the work; you don't have to fix it first.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Austin?
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 Travis 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.
