What can derail it
Cash offer from us We buy with cash, so there is no lender, loan approval or appraisal to wait on.
Listing on the MLS The buyer's loan, appraisal and inspection can delay the sale or end it.
The higher price is not always the larger check
A listing price and the money you walk away with are two different figures. From the sale price, a listed house usually pays agent commissions, the seller share of closing costs, any repairs the buyer asks for after the inspection, and the costs of carrying the house while it is on the market: mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance and utilities.
For a house that is updated and ready to show, those costs are usually worth paying, and listing tends to come out ahead. For a house that needs a roof, a foundation repair or a full cleanout, the gap narrows quickly, and sometimes a cash offer is the better result once every cost is counted.
When listing is the better choice
Listing usually makes sense when the house is in good condition, you have a few months to sell, and you are comfortable with showings and a buyer inspection. In that situation, the open market is likely to pay more than any cash buyer, and we will say so.
We would rather point you to the right path than buy a house you would regret selling to us. If listing is clearly the better fit, a licensed agent can walk you through pricing, preparation and timing.

I’m a 16 year veteran Realtor, now a broker, and Brandon at Metroplex Homebuyers was an exception to the investors I’ve worked with in the past. They were up front with everything, on time, responded to calls and texts, and closed early. If I ever have an investment property situation in the future, they will be the first call I make!
Response from Metroplex Homebuyers
Thank you so much Kenneth! We look forward to working with you in the future if you ever need our services again.
A cash sale tends to fit when the house needs work you do not want to pay for, when tenants or belongings make showings impractical, when a deadline is coming (a foreclosure date, a move, or an estate to settle), or when you simply value a known closing date over the chance of a higher price.
Across Dallas-Fort Worth, we purchase houses as-is, pay the traditional seller closing costs, and close in as little as 7 days or on the date you choose.

Response from Metroplex Homebuyers
Thank you Melissa, it was a pleasure working with you!
Many homeowners want to hear from an investor and from a listing agent before they decide. Our Dual Appointment does both in one conversation. You meet with our acquisitions team and a licensed real estate agent who lists homes on the MLS, and you see a cash offer next to a realistic listing plan, with the costs of each path laid out.
There is no charge and no obligation. Choose the cash offer, choose to list, or choose neither. Either way, you will know where you stand before you decide.
Common questions
Can I get a cash offer and still list my house?
Yes. Getting a cash offer does not commit you to anything. Many sellers use it as a baseline while they decide whether listing is worth the time and cost.
Will you buy a house that is already listed with an agent?
Yes. We work through your listing agent and respect your listing agreement.
My house was listed and did not sell. Can you still buy it?
Yes. An expired or canceled listing is fine, and we can close in as little as 7 days.
What does a Dual Appointment cost?
Nothing. It is a free, no-obligation conversation where you see a cash offer and a listing plan side by side.
How do you price a cash offer?
Our home buying team runs a comparable sales analysis for your specific house and accounts for the repairs it needs. Offers are never generated by an automated valuation model.
Metroplex Homebuyers gave us the best price for the house we sold, and honored everything they said they would. In addition, their sales agreement was clear and straightforward. All the staff I dealt with were courteous, professional, and helpful, and the title company they work with was very much the same. Overall, this was a very good experience.
Response from Metroplex Homebuyers
Thank you so much David, we really do appreciate it!
Brandon at Metroplex homebuyers was absolutely great throughly the entire process. I would defiantly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Simple, fast, easy, and they gave us the most for our house.
Metroplex Homebuyers made selling my house an extremely easy and worry-free process! Josh came out quickly and made me a great offer on the spot! By the next day, Brandon had contacted me and was in touch with the title company to ensure that the closing went smoothly. Every time I had a question (and I had LOTS of questions) they answered promptly and thoroughly. They were friendly and appreciative of my business! The title company they work with was also wonderful. A notary even came to my house to make my life easier. The house was paid off and money was in my account the next day! I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to sell their house quickly and for a great price.
