Sell a Vacant House in Dallas

An empty house costs you every month and protects nothing.

A vacant house in Dallas doesn't sit still. Grass grows, the city notices, copper walks off, squatters find the back door, and your insurance company quietly stops covering it.

We buy vacant houses as they sit — boarded, stripped, storm-damaged, or just empty and forgotten. No cleanup, no repairs, no waiting.

What you should know

What vacancy does to a house — and to your wallet

Most standard homeowner's policies exclude losses after the house has been empty 30 to 60 days. Vacant-property insurance exists but costs several times more. Meanwhile property taxes, any mortgage, utilities to keep pipes from freezing, and lawn service keep coming.

Dallas and its suburbs enforce minimum property standards on vacant buildings: tall grass, broken windows, open structures, and accumulated junk all generate code notices, and unpaid citations can become liens on the property. Long-vacant houses in Dallas can end up before the city's rehabilitation board with a repair-or-demolish order.

The security problem

Empty houses attract break-ins for AC units and wiring, and in Texas removing someone who has moved into a vacant house means an eviction, not a phone call to the police. Every month a house sits empty, the odds of one of these go up.

How we help

We can look at the property without you being there, make a written offer, and close in two weeks. If you're out of state, everything can be signed remotely with a mobile notary. Open code violations and liens are paid from the proceeds at closing.

Vacant House in Dallas

Dallas has more than half a million parcels and the widest spread of housing in the county — 1920s frame houses in South Dallas and Oak Cliff, 1950s and '60s brick ranches across Pleasant Grove, Casa View, and Lake Highlands, and newer infill everywhere builders can find a lot.

It's also the city with the most active code enforcement in the county, the most estate-titled houses, and the most tax suits. If your house is inside the Dallas city limits, the odds are good we've bought one on your street or the next one over.

Areas we buy in: Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, South Dallas, West Dallas, Lake Highlands, East Dallas, Red Bird, Casa View, Buckner Terrace.

ZIP codes: 75203, 75208, 75210, 75211, 75212, 75215, 75216, 75217, 75218, 75223, 75224, 75227, 75228, 75232, 75233, 75235, 75237, 75241, 75243.

3

Questions people ask us

I live out of state. Do I need to come to Dallas?

No. We'll handle the walkthrough, and closing documents can be signed with a mobile notary wherever you are.

Someone's living in it who shouldn't be. Can you still buy?

Yes. We've dealt with squatters and holdover occupants before. We buy it as-is and handle the eviction after closing.

It's been stripped of copper and the AC is gone. Still interested?

Yes. That's priced into the offer; you don't need to replace anything.

There are open code violations. Is that a problem?

No. Citations and liens are paid out of the sale price at closing, and the city closes the cases once the property changes hands and gets fixed.

Who you're dealing with

I'm Mike Jackson. I'm a real estate investor based in Dallas, TX, and I buy houses across Dallas County, Texas — including Dallas. I'm not an agent and I'm not a national call center. When you call the number on this page, you're calling me.

I started doing this because I kept watching families lose money on houses they didn't want, to a process that wasn't built for them. A cash sale isn't right for everyone, and I'll tell you if it isn't right for you. When it is, I'll make it the easiest part of a hard situation.
