Serving Metro Houston: Galveston, Harris, Chambers, Fort Bend, Montgomery Counties
It takes less than 60 seconds to get started.
Katy spans Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties with over 340,000 people across the greater Katy ISD area, a median home value around $377,000, and property taxes that regularly exceed $8,000 a year once MUD bonds are factored in. Most homes were built between the mid-1990s and 2010s — which means the earliest wave is now hitting the 25- to 30-year mark where roofs fail, HVAC systems die, and kitchens look a generation behind the new construction going up in the next phase over.
That new construction is relentless. Builders keep delivering homes at the same price points with warranties, modern finishes, and $10,000 to $20,000 in buyer incentives. A 2005 resale in Cinco Ranch or Nottingham Country needs $40,000 to $60,000 in updates just to get a showing — and even then, buyers compare it to a brand-new build five minutes down the road and walk.
Underneath the market sits an even harder problem. The entire western Katy footprint was built on prairie land between two federal flood control reservoirs. During Harvey, the Army Corps closed the Barker Reservoir gates and impounded water that backed into over 10,000 private properties. A federal court found the government responsible, but the operational guidelines haven't changed — meaning the same flooding would happen again in a comparable storm. Every affected property now carries a disclosure that traditional buyers treat as a dealbreaker, and many homeowners discovered only after Harvey that their home sat inside the reservoir's maximum design flood pool.
Whether it's a flood disclosure killing your listing, new construction undercutting your price, carrying costs bleeding you dry, or a life change that needs to move now — we buy as-is across all of Katy and close on your timeline.
Not every home should be sold to a cash buyer. If listing is likely to net you more and you have time, we’ll tell you — our offer is just one option.

If your situation isn’t listed, send your address anyway — we’ll tell you what options make sense.
We buy Barker-flooded homes regularly. The Army Corps impounded water during Harvey and flooded over 10,000 upstream properties, and the operational guidelines that caused it haven't changed. Traditional buyers see the flood disclosure and walk — or offer 20% below asking to offset the risk. We factor the flood history into a fair cash offer upfront and don't renegotiate after inspection. What we offer is what you get at closing.
Yes. Divorce timelines don't wait for a six-month listing in a competitive resale market. We can typically close in two to three weeks, or match a court-ordered deadline if you need a specific date. Both parties receive a clear, transparent offer — no agent commissions reducing the split, no months of showings, and no risk of a buyer falling through and resetting the timeline.
We're a local buyer, not a middleman assigning contracts. We walk every property in person, run our own comps using recent Katy sales in your specific subdivision, and present a transparent breakdown of how we arrived at the number — after-repair value minus repair costs and our margin. There's no assignment fee skimmed off the top, and there's no bait-and-switch where the number drops after you've committed. If the offer works, we close. If not, no hard feelings.
Yes. That's one of the most common situations in Katy right now. Builders keep delivering new homes at similar price points with warranties, updated finishes, and buyer incentives your resale listing can't match without $40,000 to $60,000 in renovations. We buy homes as-is regardless of age, cosmetic condition, or how much new construction surrounds them — so you don't spend months and tens of thousands of dollars just trying to compete.
