About Kemah, Texas
Kemah is an incorporated city in Galveston County with roughly 2,000 residents in the 77565 zip code, sitting on the west shore of Galveston Bay about 30 miles southeast of downtown Houston. The Boardwalk draws visitors from across the region. Behind it sits a residential community of fewer than 900 housing units where coastal living comes with costs most people never think about until they try to sell.
Kemah sits in a first-tier coastal county, which means standard homeowners insurance excludes wind and hail. To fully protect a home here, you need three separate policies — homeowners, windstorm through TWIA, and flood — a combination that regularly exceeds $4,000 a year on top of property taxes. If your home can't pass a TWIA windstorm inspection for the required WPI-8 certification because the roof, windows, or attachments don't meet current code, conventional buyers can't secure financing to purchase it. Your home becomes functionally unsellable through traditional channels.
Hurricane Ike sent storm surge across SH 146 in 2008. Harvey flooded hundreds of homes across Galveston County in 2017. Nearly all Kemah properties sit in high-risk flood zones, and that history follows every home through every disclosure. With roughly 870 total housing units in the city, the buyer pool is already one of the smallest in the Houston metro — layer on flood disclosures, triple-policy insurance costs, and a home that may not qualify for financed purchase, and selling traditionally becomes a months-long fight with no guaranteed outcome.
Whether it's insurance costs bleeding you dry, a home that can't pass windstorm inspection, storm damage, or a buyer pool too small to absorb your listing — we buy as-is across all of Kemah and close on your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our home can't pass TWIA windstorm inspection — does that kill our ability to sell to you?
No. Galveston County is a first-tier coastal county, so financed buyers need a TWIA windstorm policy, and most homes need current WPI-8 certification to qualify. If your roof, windows, or attachments don't meet current wind code, conventional buyers literally cannot get a mortgage on your property. We buy with cash — TWIA certification status doesn't affect our offer or our ability to close.
We're retired and the insurance costs are eating us alive — can you help us get out quickly?
Yes. Kemah homeowners carry homeowners insurance, a TWIA windstorm policy, and flood insurance — a stack that can exceed $4,000 a year before property taxes even start. When you're on a fixed income and premiums keep climbing, the math stops working. We can close in as little as two to three weeks so you stop paying premiums on a property that's costing more than it returns.
With only 900 housing units in the whole city, how do you determine a fair offer?
We pull recent comparable sales from Kemah and adjacent waterfront markets — Seabrook, Clear Lake Shores, and the League City bay side — to establish after-repair value. We then subtract estimated repair costs and our margin, and present a transparent breakdown. In a market this small, comps matter more than averages, and we evaluate each property individually rather than applying a blanket formula.
Our home took storm surge damage during Ike and flooded again during Harvey — is there any point in trying to sell?
Yes. Repeated storm damage and multiple flood claims are exactly the situations where traditional selling breaks down — buyers see the disclosure history and walk, and lenders tighten terms on properties with prior claims. We buy storm-damaged and flood-disclosed homes as-is. No mold remediation, no coastal engineering reports, no waiting for a buyer who won't flinch at the history.
