Do you buy houses in Tyler?
Yes. We buy houses in Tyler. Charlie takes the seller calls at (318) 714-4321 and usually calls back the same day. We look at the house as it sits. You do not fix it, empty it, or hold showings for us.
Tyler is in Smith County. It is not an I-20 town the way Longview and Marshall are. U.S. 69 runs through it, and Loop 323 circles the older part of the city. The regional page is East Texas. Longview, the next city north, is on the Longview page. This page is Tyler.
If the house is in Whitehouse, Lindale, Bullard, or another Smith County town, send the address. We will tell you whether we can look at it. We do not treat every town in the county as if it were Tyler.
Want a cash offer, or to have us take over the payments? Call or text Charlie at (318) 714-4321, or Get My Cash Offer. Cash is not promised on every house. No fee, no obligation.
Where in Tyler we look
We look on both sides of Loop 323, not in one corner of the city.
- Downtown and the square. The streets around Broadway and Ferguson, including the blocks near the county offices. The county clerk's office is at 200 East Ferguson Street, Suite 300.
- South of downtown. The Azalea District and the older streets south of the square. Houses there can be in good shape or can need a roof, plumbing, or a kitchen. We buy either one as it sits.
- West and southwest Tyler. The larger 75703 area, out toward the loop and beyond it.
- North and northwest, including Chapel Hill. The 75707 side of town, and the streets that feed Loop 323 on the north.
- Along U.S. 69 and Loop 323. Either road can have a house that has been a rental, a house with storm damage, or a house that has sat vacant. The road name does not decide the offer. The house does.
If your street is not named here, ask. The list is where we already drive. It is not a ranking, and it does not say who should live there.
ZIP codes
We focus on these Tyler ZIP codes. If yours is next door, send the street address anyway.
- 75701. Central Tyler, including a large part of the north-central city and streets near downtown.
- 75702. South of downtown. The Smith County clerk's office at 200 East Ferguson uses 75702.
- 75703. West and southwest Tyler, a large share of the city's houses.
- 75707. North and northwest Tyler, including the Chapel Hill area.
- 75704, 75708, and 75709. Also Tyler delivery. Send the address if that is your code.
- 75706. Used for Lindale as well as some Tyler delivery. Do not assume a 75706 house is inside the Tyler city limits.
- 75791. Whitehouse, its own city south of Tyler. Send the address.
Post office box codes are not enough. We need the street the house is on.
A trustee sale is not a Louisiana sheriff sale
Start with the free options. Ask your mortgage servicer, in writing, about catching up or another workout. Use a HUD-approved housing counselor from the HUD list. Talk with a Texas lawyer if a sale date is set or the notice is unclear. Selling is one option after that. We do not stop a foreclosure, and we do not negotiate with your lender.
Most Texas home loans use a deed of trust. A sale under that power of sale is generally a public auction on the first Tuesday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., at the courthouse, in the area the commissioners court has designated. If that Tuesday is January 1 or July 4, the sale is on the first Wednesday. Notice is generally given at least 21 days ahead. That is Texas Property Code section 51.002. Your notice controls your date and your place.
Smith County describes the local rule on its foreclosures page: notices are filed with the county clerk, and deed-of-trust sales are held at the Smith County Courthouse in the area the commissioners court designated, which the county describes as the west entrance. The clerk's office is at 200 East Ferguson Street, Suite 300, Tyler. Read the notice you were given. A property-tax sale is a different process, and the county lists that separately.
Do not use a Caddo Parish Wednesday sheriff's sale date for a Smith County house. Our Louisiana foreclosure page is for houses in Louisiana.
We buy houses. We are a home buyer, not a law firm, a lender, or a housing counselor. We charge homeowners no fee. Cash is not promised on every house.
How selling a Tyler house to us works
- Call or send the form. Tell us the Tyler address. Call or text Charlie at (318) 714-4321.
- Charlie calls back, usually the same day. The call is questions, not a contract.
- We look at the house as it sits, including a rental with a tenant still there or a house full of belongings.
- We put the choice in writing. Cash, or in some cases taking over the payments. Neither is promised until we see the house and the paperwork. You can say no.
- A title company closes it on the date you pick, as long as the paperwork can be ready.
When we buy, there is no commission and no fee on your side. Closing costs still exist. Who pays which line is in the written offer. We do not promise to pay all of them.
How we think about an as-is price is on how we figure a cash offer. That page has a calculator. The calculator is an estimate only, not an offer, and it is not a Tyler price.
Inherited houses
A Tyler house whose owner has died follows Texas probate, not a Louisiana succession. A title company usually wants the estate paperwork finished or underway. We may sign with the heirs now and close after the court paperwork is ready. A Texas probate lawyer is the person who says which filing fits.
The Louisiana pages, inherited house and heirs can't agree, are a comparison only. Do not use their court rules for a house in Smith County. If the heirs of a Texas house are not on the same page, a Texas lawyer explains what has to be signed before a title company will close.
Before a Smith County trustee sale
The first-Tuesday auction, the 21-day notice, and the options to ask a lawyer and the servicer about are on before a trustee sale in East Texas. This page is still Tyler.
