All cash — no bank, no mortgage, no financing that can fall through. Whatever you’re dealing with, or just done with the house or the land, we’ve closed on it before:
How it works
Sale price − what you owe
That’s the whole formula. We cover the standard seller closing costs — title work, recording, and in most deals the transfer tax. No agent commissions. You get the exact, itemized number in writing 3 business days before closing, with no buyer-side surprises.

Star Thing LLC · Florida · Texas · Georgia
Send your address and we do the math within 24 hours. You get one cash offer, the higher of our two paths, and 7 days to decide. Sign, and your price and closing date are locked in one contract that doesn’t change. Inspection and title work run 7–13 days; you close in about 21 days when title is clear, and 21–45 typically, at a licensed title company. We cover the standard seller closing costs. If someone else closes in our place (Path B), you get their name in writing 3 business days before closing, at the same price and paperwork, either way.
Behind on the mortgage
Your lender gets paid first, at closing.
The foreclosure sale date is set by the court. When the timeline allows, we work to close before it.
Behind on property taxes
Back taxes are paid off at closing from the sale proceeds, before you see a dollar.
The clerk sets the tax-deed sale date. When the timeline allows, we work to close, or pay off the taxes, before the sale completes.
Divorce / dissolution
Both spouses sign at closing. Or one of you, with the right paperwork.
We work around your court schedule.
Vacant or non-earning rental
We buy vacant, or properties that will be vacant on closing. If a tenancy ends before closing, send it back to us.
We do not take on occupied tenancies; the property needs to be vacant at closing.
Storm / flood / fire damage
Damaged houses close on the same timeline. We buy them as they are.
If the house is in a flood zone, the contract says so.
Code violations / liens
Liens, old permits, contractor claims, identified in the title search and paid off through closing.
The title company runs the search and disburses from the proceeds before the deed changes hands.
Insurance / condo issues
Insurance dropped. Condo failed its milestone inspection.
We can buy these and hold them, usually Path A.
Relocating / job change
Pick a closing date that lines up with your move, no carrying two places.
You can sign remotely; we close on your schedule.
Downsizing / retirement
Take what you want, leave the rest, and we clear out whatever stays.
No repairs or staging; one simple closing.
Vacant or hard to rent
Stop paying to hold an empty house that isn’t earning.
Condition doesn’t matter. We buy as-is and take it from here.
Needs major repairs
Roof, foundation, plumbing, a full gut, decades of deferred work, you fix none of it. We price the house as it stands and buy it that way.
The repair cost is built into our offer math; you don’t front a dollar or lift a hammer.
We close the most in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, and Savannah. Smaller towns and rural areas take a few extra days.
- Single-family homes, condos, townhouses
- Multi-family & value-add multifamily (duplex to small apartment)
- Mobile / manufactured homes on their own land
- Vacant land, lots, and rural acreage
- Storm, flood, fire, or mold damage; hoarder cleanups
- Vacant rental properties (vacant, or vacant on closing)
- Behind on mortgage, taxes, or with code violations
- Inherited, off-market, and direct-to-seller deals
- Open to seller financing and other creative structures
- Leave what you don’t want, we clean it out after closing
We close in 1 to 2 months. Anything goes as long as the law allows it in that window, so the only things that don’t fit are the ones that can’t move that fast:
- Anything court-gated that can’t clear in 1–2 months (active bankruptcy, contested probate or divorce)
- Mobile homes without their own land; timeshares
- Title problems we can’t fix in 30 days
Outside FL, TX, GA? Still send the address. Florida, Texas, and Georgia are our core states — direct and fastest — but we work nationwide, case-by-case: closings run through a licensed local title or escrow company, or a licensed closing attorney in attorney-closing states (Georgia, South Carolina, and others require it by law). In states that license or restrict contract assignment — South Carolina, Illinois, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Nebraska among them — we buy as principal (Path A) or work with locally licensed partners, and any state-required disclosures and cancellation rights (like Oklahoma's) are honored. Timelines outside the core three are case-by-case and can run longer; we tell you up front.
Stop paying taxes on a lot that just sits there. We buy raw and vacant land for cash across all our states: residential lots, rural acreage, inherited or tax-delinquent parcels, even landlocked or unbuildable land. We cover closing costs, and there’s nothing to clear or improve first. Send the parcel number or address and we’ll come back with a number.
- You sign one contract with Star Thing LLC. We close, or we sell our rights under the contract and another cash buyer closes in our place. Your price and date stay the same.
- The offer is all cash. There is no buyer mortgage and no financing contingency, so the deal can’t collapse at the last minute the way a financed sale can — financed contracts are commonly delayed or fall through.
- Sale price locked when you sign. The contract number is what you get at closing.
- The timeline: written response in 24 hours, offer holds 7 days from delivery, then inspection 7–13 days and closing 21–45 days from signing (longer only if the title needs work).
- Closing happens at a licensed title company or closing attorney. You get the final numbers 3 business days before.
- If someone else closes in our place (Path B), you get their name in writing 3 business days before.
- Your information stays private. We only share it with the title company, attorneys, and our software providers.
- We are a principal, not a broker. We buy for our own account; if we later assign, we are selling our own contract rights, not acting for the assignee. Under Florida Chapter 475 a broker acts for another for compensation; we are a party to the contract, not your agent.
- Selling AS-IS does not let you hide a known problem. Florida law (Johnson v. Davis, 1985) requires sellers to disclose serious hidden defects they actually know about; TX and GA have their own versions. You can skip the repairs, not the disclosure.
- Tenants, liens, and tax/foreclosure timelines follow state law and the court or clerk, not us. Security deposits transfer to the new owner under your state's landlord-tenant law (in Florida, F.S. §83.49); auction and sale dates are set by the court or clerk, and we work within them.
Most cash buyers eyeball a few photos and lowball. We build your offer from real numbers, so it holds up and you can see it’s fair.
- Real measurements and real comps. Actual square footage and condition, priced against recent comparable sales near you, the same data an appraiser uses.
- Real contractor quotes. Repair costs come from independent bids, not a number we invent to pad our margin.
- You can see the math. Ask and we’ll walk you through exactly how we got to the offer. No black box.

For homes listed in Florida, Texas & Georgia
How long has your house been listed with no offer?
There's a known curve to how listings go. Tell us the days on market and we'll show you honestly where yours sits, what the data says happens next, and your real options. Ours is the all-cash one — no buyer, no mortgage, nothing to fall through — but we'll show you the others too.
Your honest options from here
This is a general guide based on FL/TX/GA market patterns, not advice about your specific home. Days-on-market behavior varies by county, price, and condition. A relisting can reset the public day count. Talk to a licensed agent or a title company about your situation.
Where the stale-listing pattern comes from
- The 90-day cliff. Listings that cross ~90 days pick up a "what's wrong with it?" stigma, and price cuts after that rarely recover momentum. Market analysis of the stale-listing curve.
- How many homes sit. Roughly 3 in 5 listed homes have sat 30+ days without an offer; 2 in 5 for 60+. Axios (Redfin data).
- Typical days on market. Live FL/TX/GA figures: Florida, Texas, Georgia.
Cash offer vs. listing with an agent
For homes in Florida, Texas & Georgia
Money in about 21 days, or maybe-more-maybe-later?
Straight up: listing can net you more money — if it sells, if the buyer's financing holds, and if you can wait months while paying to hold the house. We pay less, in cash, but it's a real number you get in about 21 days when your title is clear. This shows you the honest trade: a bit more money later vs. certainty now.
A clean, move-in-ready home priced right usually goes under contract in 1–2 months, with closing on top, in FL/TX/GA. It runs longer — 6 months, a year, sometimes never at full price — when the house needs work, sits in a slow or rural county, demand is soft, or it’s priced even a little high and slides into repeated price cuts.

Estimate only, for comparison. Cash figure assumes about 65% of fixed-up value — a typical FL/TX/GA cash-buyer level, traded for speed and certainty; your real offer depends on the property and often runs higher. *Closing in about 21 days assumes clear title; title issues (liens, probate, missing heirs) add time and we tell you up front. Agent path uses a 5.7% total commission (the FL/TX/GA average) and a repair-credit estimate; real costs vary. We don't deduct your mortgage payoff here — that comes out of both paths equally. Not financial advice.
Where these numbers come from — check them yourself
- Time to sell (FL ~4 months). Florida homes take a median of about 69–80 days just to go under contract, then roughly 30–45 more days to close. Live data: Redfin — Florida, Texas, Georgia.
- Homes that sit or don't sell. Roughly 3 in 5 listed homes have sat 30+ days without an offer, and 2 in 5 for 60+ days; in softer Florida counties a majority of price-reduced homes sit past 60 days. See Axios (Redfin data).
- Agent commission (~5.7%). The FL/TX/GA average runs about 5.7–5.8% total, split between agents and negotiable since the 2024 NAR settlement. See commission survey.
- Cash offers (~65% of value). Direct cash buyers and investor networks typically pay below retail in exchange for speed and an as-is, no-fee sale. See cash-buyer comparison.
- Financing fall-through. A meaningful share of financed home contracts are delayed or collapse before closing — a risk a cash sale removes.
These are honest market estimates, not a quote. Markets move and every property is different — verify your own situation with a title company or a licensed agent.
Before you decide
You get the sale price minus what you owe. We cover the standard seller closing costs — title work, recording, and in most deals the transfer tax. No agent commissions. Your mortgage is paid off first and you keep the rest. You receive the exact itemized number in writing 3 business days before closing, with no buyer-side surprises. (The breakdown is in “What you take home” above.)
Straight answer: our cash offer is around 65% of fixed-up value — sometimes higher depending on the deal. We pay less than a retail sale because what you’re buying from us is speed and certainty: money in about 21 days when title is clear, as-is, no repairs, no showings, no agent fees, closing costs on us, and no deal falling through. A clean house that can wait months will usually net more on the open market — and we’ll tell you so. Need it done fast or the house needs work? That’s us. Get a cash offer →
21–45 days from signing when title and diligence are clear, longer only if the title needs curing, and we tell you up front. Part of why it’s fast: we pay all cash, so there’s no buyer mortgage to underwrite and no financing contingency that can stall or collapse the deal. If you can’t move in the next few weeks, an agent is the better fit.
A licensed title company or closing attorney, never us, holds all funds and pays you at closing. The one real risk is wire fraud: verify wire instructions by calling a number you looked up yourself, never from an email.
No. We buy as-is; leave behind whatever you don’t want. AS-IS doesn’t let you hide a known problem. Every state requires disclosing serious defects you know about (Johnson v. Davis in FL), but you skip the repairs.
Signing is a real commitment and backing out can cost your deposit, so don’t sign unless you’re sure. If something genuinely changes, tell us early and we’ll usually release you rather than fight it.
In Florida and Texas, closings typically run through a licensed title company. In Georgia, state law requires every real estate closing to be conducted by a licensed closing attorney — so your Georgia closing is always attorney-handled, and the same is true in other attorney-closing states like South Carolina. Either way, a licensed neutral third party (never us) holds all funds and pays you at closing.
Yes. FL, TX, and GA are our core states — direct and fastest — but we work nationwide, case-by-case, through licensed local title companies, escrow companies, or closing attorneys. Where a state licenses or restricts contract assignment (South Carolina, Illinois, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Nebraska among them), we buy as principal or work with locally licensed partners, and state-required disclosures and cancellation windows are honored. Timelines outside the core three can run longer, and we tell you that before you sign anything.
We either buy it ourselves (Path A) or sell our rights under the contract to another cash buyer (Path B), at the same price to you. Your deposit sits with a licensed title company, and any assignment fee is paid by the buyer, never out of your price.
