You inherited a house you never asked for and you don't know where to start.
Life changed fast — a job, a divorce, a move — and you need to sell before you're ready.
The house needs more work than you can afford and you don't know what it's worth as-is.
You've looked at listings and felt like none of it applies to your situation.
Whatever brought you here — you're in the right place. Joel Slayter has helped San Antonio homeowners through every one of those situations since 2001. No pressure, no judgment, and no obligation. Just an honest conversation and a fair offer.

Whatever you're facing, there's a straightforward path forward. Houses 4 Texas has worked through every one of these situations with San Antonio homeowners since 2001.
Inherited Property
Nobody prepares you for this. Property taxes are ticking, maintenance is piling up, and the probate process feels overwhelming — on top of everything else you're already dealing with.
Facing Foreclosure
A foreclosure doesn't just take your home — it follows your credit for years. The good news is there's still time if you act now. We've closed in as few as 7 days to stop proceedings before the bank files.
Financial Hardship
Job loss, medical bills, unexpected expenses — when the payment stops being manageable, a fast cash sale provides real, immediate relief. Typically closed within 7 to 21 days.
Major Repairs Needed
Foundation cracks, roof failure, fire or water damage — we've purchased all of it across San Antonio. You will never spend a dollar on repairs or get a single contractor bid.
Relocation
A job transfer, military deployment, or move that can't wait — and a San Antonio property that needs to be dealt with. Many sellers close remotely without ever needing to be present.
Divorce
A shared property during a divorce keeps two people tied together longer than either wants. A cash sale closes fast and cleanly — the home sells, proceeds are divided, and both parties move forward.
