Selling to Alamo Residential vs. Your Other Options
Every option has trade-offs. Here's how we stack up honestly against the alternatives.
| Factor | Alamo Residential | List with Agent | Sell FSBO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeline | 7–21 days | 3–6 months | 3–6+ months |
| Repairs needed | None — sell as-is | Usually required | Usually required |
| Agent commissions | None | 5–6% | Buyer's agent ~2.5–3% |
| Closing costs | We pay them | 1–3% seller cost | 1–3% seller cost |
| Showings / open houses | None | Yes — ongoing | Yes — you manage them |
| Certainty of closing | Very high | Moderate (financing risk) | Moderate (financing risk) |
| Offer in hand | Within 24 hours | Weeks to months | Weeks to months |
The traditional route sometimes nets a higher gross sale price — but after commissions, repairs, closing costs, and months of holding costs, many sellers find the net result is comparable or lower. We're happy to walk through the math with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you going to lowball me?
We understand why people ask this. Cash buyers have a reputation in some markets for making insulting offers. We don't operate that way. Our offers are based on actual comparable sales in your neighborhood, minus what it will cost us to repair and renovate the property, plus a margin that allows us to run a business. We're transparent about that formula. If you want to understand how we arrived at the number, just ask — we'll walk you through it. Our offers won't always beat an open-market sale, but when you account for commissions, fees, and repairs, they often come close and they come without the uncertainty or time investment.
Do I have to pay any fees?
None. No agent commissions, no closing fees, no administrative charges, no hidden line items. We cover the title work and the closing costs. What we offer is what you receive. The only thing you leave with less than the full offer amount is whatever you owed on the mortgage — which gets paid off through the closing, same as any sale.
How does selling for cash actually work?
The process is simple. You contact us and tell us about your property. We assess it — either through a quick in-person visit or using available market data — and make you a written cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, we open title at a local title company, they conduct a title search and prepare the closing documents, and we close on a date you choose. At closing, the title company distributes the funds. You hand over the keys and receive your money. Start to finish, it's the same legal process as any real estate transaction — just faster and without the middlemen.
What if I still owe on my mortgage?
This is one of the most common situations we see — and it's completely fine. When we close, your remaining mortgage balance is paid off through the title company before any proceeds come to you. So if your home is worth $200,000 and you owe $120,000, you'd receive the difference (minus any fees on our end, which are none). The payoff happens automatically at closing. You don't need to pay off the mortgage yourself beforehand.
What if I'm behind on payments?
Being behind on payments is stressful, and the clock starts moving fast once a lender initiates foreclosure proceedings. In many cases, we can close before a foreclosure sale date, which stops the process and protects your credit from a foreclosure record. If you're behind, don't wait. Visit our foreclosure help page for a fuller explanation of your options, or call us directly at (210) 630-3392 — we'll tell you honestly what's possible given your situation and timeline.
Why Local Matters
There's no shortage of national companies advertising "we buy houses" across the country. They use technology to make remote offers on properties they've never seen, in markets they don't really understand. Their offers are often conservative because they're accounting for the unknown.
We're based in San Antonio. We know the difference between a home in Alamo Heights and one in Elmendorf. We know what buyers are paying in Stone Oak versus Calumet. We understand how neighborhood proximity to Loop 1604 or IH-35 affects value, and we know which title companies in town can close efficiently.
That local knowledge means we can make better offers, because we're not padding for the unknown. And it means you're dealing with real people who pick up the phone — not a call center routing system.
