Selling To Sunbelt Cash Offer vs. Listing With a Local Texas Agent
Every homeowner’s situation is different. Some sellers have
the time and money to list with an agent and wait for top
dollar. Others need speed, certainty, and zero hassle.

pressure you — we just want you to have the full picture.

What These Numbers Mean for RGV Homeowners
The Rio Grande Valley real estate market is unique.
Median home prices in Hidalgo County and Cameron County
are lower than the Texas state average, which means
agent commissions and closing costs take a bigger
percentage of your net proceeds than in other markets.
For example, on a $120,000 home in McAllen or Edinburg:
- Agent commission at 6% = $7,200
- Closing costs at 2% = $2,400
- Total fees = $9,600 before any repair requests
That’s nearly $10,000 out of pocket before you see a
single dollar — and that doesn’t include the months of
mortgage payments, insurance, and utilities while you
wait for a buyer.
When you sell to Sunbelt Cash Offer, none of those costs
apply. Our offer is what you receive. For many RGV
homeowners that math makes a direct cash sale the smarter
financial decision — even if our offer is below full
retail value.
We serve homeowners throughout Hidalgo County including
McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, Mission, Weslaco, Donna,
Mercedes, Alamo, San Juan, and La Joya, as well as
Cameron County including Harlingen, Brownsville, San
Benito, and surrounding areas.

When You Add Up the Real Numbers, the Choice Becomes Clear
When you list with a real estate agent in the Rio Grande
Valley, the sticker price looks attractive. But once you
subtract agent commissions (5–6%), closing costs (2%),
repair requests from buyers, and months of mortgage
payments, insurance, and utilities while you wait — the
actual amount you walk away with is often much lower than
you expected.
At Sunbelt Cash Offer, we won’t always be able to offer
full retail value. But for many RGV homeowners — especially
those dealing with foreclosure, probate, tax liens, major
repairs, or difficult tenants — the speed, certainty, and
zero-cost process we offer puts more money in their pocket
when all is said and done.
Close in as Little as 7 Days
Every day your house sits on the market costs you money —
mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities,
and maintenance. In the RGV, the average traditional sale
takes 60 to 90 days. That’s 2 to 3 months of carrying
costs on top of agent fees.
When you sell to Sunbelt Cash Offer, we can close in as
little as 7 days. For homeowners facing foreclosure or
mounting tax debt, that speed can make a significant
financial difference.
Sell Your RGV Home Exactly As It Is
No repairs. No cleaning. No updating. We have purchased
homes in McAllen, Edinburg, Harlingen, and across Hidalgo
and Cameron County that needed complete renovations, had
foundation issues, roof damage, mold, and years of
deferred maintenance.
You don’t spend a single dollar preparing your home for
sale. We handle everything after closing.
We Cover All Closing Costs
When you sell to Sunbelt Cash Offer, we pay all standard
closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive
at closing — no deductions, no surprises, no hidden fees.
Compare that to a traditional sale where closing costs
alone typically run 2% of the sale price on top of agent
commissions. On a $150,000 home that’s $3,000 to $9,000
coming out of your pocket before you see a dollar.

An inspection contingency allows a buyer to back out of
a sale or renegotiate the price based on repair findings
during the inspection period. A financing contingency
allows a buyer to exit the deal if they cannot secure
a mortgage loan.
Sunbelt Cash Offer does not use bank financing. We buy
with our own cash, which means no financing contingencies,
no appraisal requirements, and no deals falling through
at the last minute.
