One clean number to split. No months of showings while you're living through it.
The house is usually the largest shared asset in a divorce and the hardest one to divide — one of you can't easily buy the other out, and neither of you wants to spend six months keeping it show-ready while sharing a mortgage.
We buy houses in Garland, TX from divorcing couples, quickly and neutrally. Both of you get one written number, one closing date, and a clean split through the title company.
Mike Jackson will call or text you shortly, usually within the hour during the day. If it's urgent, call (972) 954-6120 now.
Texas is a community property state. A house bought during the marriage generally belongs to both spouses regardless of whose name is on the deed, and both must sign to sell it. The sale can happen before the divorce is final (with both spouses agreeing) or after, according to the decree. If your decree orders the house sold, it usually sets a deadline — a fast cash closing is the easiest way to meet it.
Proceeds are typically split per your agreement or the court's order, and the title company can wire each party separately at closing so no one is waiting on the other to write a check.
Every month the house sits, one of you is likely paying a mortgage on a place you don't live in, and both of you are still tied together financially. A traditional listing means agreeing on an agent, a list price, showing schedules, repair requests, and price reductions — dozens of small decisions between two people who have decided to stop making decisions together.
We deal with both of you (and your attorneys) the same way, and there is nothing to negotiate after the contract is signed.
We'll see the house once, put a written offer in front of both of you, and close on the date you choose. If one spouse is still living there, we'll build in a move-out window. If your attorneys need to review the contract, we'll wait.
Garland is the second-largest city in Dallas County and one of its oldest suburbs. South and central Garland are full of 1950s–'70s houses, many of them rentals now, while the north side toward Firewheel is newer. The older neighborhoods have exactly the mix we look for: original-owner estates, long-time landlords ready to be done, and houses that need more than a coat of paint.
Garland's code compliance department is active, and we regularly buy houses here with open cases.
Areas we buy in: Downtown Garland, Duck Creek, South Garland, Firewheel, North Garland, Club Hill, Embree.
ZIP codes: 75040, 75041, 75042, 75043, 75044.
Call, text, or use the form. Five minutes of questions — no sales pitch.
We look at the property once and put a real number in writing, usually within 48 hours. We show you how we got there.
A licensed Texas title company handles everything. Close in as little as 7 days, or later if you need time. Cash wired to you.
None of this is required to get started — it just makes the offer faster.
Yes — both spouses must sign the contract and the deed, or one must have a court order or power of attorney to sign for both.
Yes, if you both agree. Many couples prefer to, so the decree can just divide cash.
That's a buyout, and it usually needs a refinance. If it turns out not to be workable, we're here as the backup plan.
Gladly. We're used to it.
I'm Mike Jackson. I'm a real estate investor based in Dallas, TX, and I buy houses across Dallas County, Texas — including Garland, TX. 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.
Call or text Mike Jackson directly. No obligation.
