Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your home on your terms in Houston. No secrets, no surprises.
General Questions
What exactly does Sellers First do?
We help Houston homeowners compare every real way to sell, a fast cash offer, multiple offers, or a traditional listing, side by side, so you choose the path that fits your goals instead of being handed one low number.
Are you a cash-buying company or a real estate agent?
Both, and that's the point. Maxwell is a Licensed Texas REALTOR® with eXp Realty, and we also work with cash buyers. That lets us put real options in front of you instead of pushing the single option that pays us.
What areas do you serve?
Greater Houston and the surrounding metro, including Katy, Pearland, Sugar Land, Spring, Humble, Cypress, and nearby communities. We're local, born and raised around Houston.
Is Sellers First really family-owned?
Yes. We're owned by Maxwell and Logan, a real Houston family business, not a call center or an out-of-state iBuyer. We treat every client like a neighbor, because you are one.
The Process & Cost
Does it cost anything to find out my options?
No. There's no fee and no obligation to see your options. We lay out the real numbers, fees, costs, and net profit, for every selling path so you can compare honestly before you decide anything.
How fast can I hear back after I reach out?
We respond within 24 hours. Tell us a few details about your home, it takes about two minutes, and we'll come back with your selling options.
How quickly can I actually close?
If you choose the cash path, you can close in as few as 7 days. If you list for top dollar, the timeline is longer but aimed at maximum price. We close on your timeline, not ours.
Will I be pressured to take an offer?
Never. No high-pressure sales tactics. We show you the options, answer your questions honestly, and you pick what's best for you, or nothing at all.
Your Situation
Do I need to make repairs or clean up first?
No. If a fast, as-is sale is the right path, you can sell exactly as the home sits, no repairs, no showings, no cleanup required.
I'm behind on payments or facing foreclosure. Can you help?
Yes. Foreclosure, probate or inherited properties, divorce, relocation, tired-landlord rentals, we have a selling path designed to help you move forward with confidence. Reach out and we'll walk through your options privately.
How do I know I'm getting honest numbers?
Radical transparency is one of our core values. We show the real numbers and net profit for every path side by side, in writing, so you can compare them yourself, not just take our word for it.
Still have a question?
Talk to a real local person. No pressure, no obligation, just honest answers.
