Zero Fees, Zero Commissions — Keep More of Your Cash
Selling to Sound Home Buying means the offer is the amount you receive.
Traditional Texas home sales include 5-6% agent commissions plus 2-3% seller-paid closing costs — that's nearly 10% of your sale price gone before you see a dime. On a $300,000 Texas home that's $25,000-30,000 in fees.
With Sound Home Buying, the cash offer is the cash you receive. No agent commissions (we're the buyer, not an agent). No closing costs (we cover all of them). No surprise fees, repair credits, or 'admin' charges at the table. What we offer is what wires to your account.

Why Sound Home Buying for No Fees or Commissions
A traditional Texas home sale has more transaction costs than most sellers realize. The 6% agent commission (3% to the listing agent, 3% to the buyer's agent) is the biggest line item but far from the only one. Seller-paid closing costs typically run 2-3% of the sale price: title insurance (often $1,500-3,000 in Texas, traditionally paid by the seller as 'owner's policy'), transfer taxes, recording fees, escrow fees, and survey costs if the title company requires a new survey. Add in repair credits negotiated with the buyer, FHA/VA-required repairs to clear underwriting, and seller concessions to keep the deal together, and the all-in cost approaches 10% of the sale price.
On a $300,000 Texas home, that's roughly $25,000-30,000 in fees, credits, and concessions before you see the first dollar of proceeds. On a $500,000 home it's $40,000-50,000. For sellers with significant equity that math is acceptable; for sellers with thin equity or facing financial pressure, those fees can be the difference between walking away with cash and writing a check at closing.
With Sound Home Buying, the cash offer is the wire amount. We pay the title insurance, transfer taxes, recording fees, and all other standard closing costs on our side. No agent is involved on our purchase. No repair credits get negotiated post-inspection. The number we agree on is the number that hits your bank account on closing day. The trade-off is that cash offers come in below retail MLS pricing — but for many sellers, the net proceeds end up surprisingly close once all the traditional fees are subtracted.
A final clarification: we make money the same way a traditional buyer does — by eventually reselling or holding the property for rental income. Our cash offer reflects what the property is worth to us after accounting for repairs, holding costs, and resale risk. Some sellers worry that no fees means we are hiding the cost somewhere. We are not. The cost is built into the offer price, which is why cash offers come in below retail MLS pricing. Whether that math works for you depends on your situation. Call (888) 413-5218 to talk through it.

When No Fees or Commissions Is the Right Choice
Common situations where sellers across Texas reach out to us.
You want to skip the 6% agent commission
On a $300K home, that's $18K straight back into your pocket.
You don't want to pay seller's closing costs
Title insurance, transfer taxes, recording — we cover all of it.
Equity is thin and every dollar counts
When you owe close to market value, fees can wipe out your remaining equity. Cash sales preserve more of it.
Underwater or barely above water
FSBO with no commission could be the difference between walking away with cash and writing a check at closing.
You've tried FSBO and it isn't working
Many FSBOs eventually call us — they avoid the commission AND avoid the months of effort.
You don't want lender-required repairs
Cash buyers don't trigger FHA/VA inspection requirements. No new roof or HVAC just to satisfy a buyer's lender.
Common Questions About No Fees or Commissions
Are there any fees at all?+
None. No application fee, no escrow fee from us, no title fees, no closing costs. The wire amount equals the cash offer.
What about title insurance?+
We pay for the title insurance policy on our side. Texas standard practice is for the seller to pay for the buyer's title policy — we waive that for our purchases.
What about property taxes?+
Pro-rated at closing per Texas standard. You pay for the days you owned the house; we pay for the days going forward.
Do I need an agent?+
Not for selling to us. If you'd feel more comfortable having one review the contract, that's fine — but you'd pay them separately. Most of our sellers don't use one.
Is there a catch?+
No catch. The math: we buy below retail because we take on the repair, holding, and resale risk. You trade some price for certainty, speed, and zero fees. For many sellers that's the right trade.
