How it works
What are the steps to sell your Downtown Plano house for cash?
Tell us about the house
Address and condition is enough. We do not need photos, a cleanup, or a repair list — we buy as-is and we expect deferred maintenance.

Close on your date
Seven days if you need speed, or later if you need time to find your next place. Closing happens at a Texas title company and we cover the closing costs.
Cash offer vs agent vs iBuyer
Which of the three is actually right for your house?
If your Downtown Plano house is updated, empty and you can wait 60–90 days, listing with a good agent will usually net you more, and an iBuyer may too if the house fits its criteria. A cash sale wins when condition, a fixed date or certainty matter more than squeezing out the last few percent.
| Listing with an agent | iBuyer / instant offer | Sell My House Fast Plano | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Typically 60–90+ days, plus time on market | Usually 14–60 days, inside the platform's window | 7–14 days on clean title, or later if you prefer |
| Agent commission | Commonly 5–6% of the price | None | None |
| Service fee | None separate from the commission | Yes — a percentage of the price, disclosed in the offer | None |
| Closing costs | Seller commonly pays 1–3% | Seller pays their share | We pay them |
| Repairs | Pre-list work, then buyer repair requests | None up front; deductions after their inspection | None, and no deduction after we look |
| Showings | Ongoing, plus open houses | None, but an inspection visit | One walkthrough |
| Financing contingency | Buyer's appraisal and loan can fall through | None — the platform pays cash | None — we pay cash |
| Condition accepted | Must satisfy the buyer's lender and appraiser | Newer, financeable houses within set criteria | Any condition — fire, hoarder, foundation, tenants |
| Who picks the closing date | Negotiated with the buyer | Chosen from the platform's window | You do |

What Downtown Plano housing is actually like
These are small, character houses on tight lots: pier-and-beam foundations, original windows, knob-and-tube wiring in the ones nobody has touched, and occasionally a lot worth more than the structure standing on it.
Why Downtown Plano owners sell to a cash buyer
Financed buyers struggle here. Lenders flag pier-and-beam, old wiring and galvanized plumbing, and deals fall apart at underwriting after weeks of waiting. Cash does not care, which is why these houses often sell to us after a listing has already failed once.
Pre-1978 paint, and what federal law requires you to disclose
Nearly all of the housing around 15th Street predates 1978, which brings in a federal rule rather than a Texas one. For target housing built before 1978, the seller must give the buyer the EPA lead-hazard pamphlet, disclose any known lead-based paint and any records they hold, and allow a 10-day period to test for it — the requirement comes from the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act and its HUD and EPA rules. Knowing nothing about the paint is a perfectly acceptable answer; the obligation is to disclose what you know, not to test. The other thing the age brings is a permit history that predates the city's current records, which is why an unpermitted 1960s addition on a downtown lot is a financing problem for a retail buyer and not a problem for us.
Questions we get asked
My downtown Plano house is pre-war with original wiring. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Knob-and-tube wiring, pier-and-beam foundations, galvanized plumbing and original single-pane windows are all things we expect in the oldest housing in 75074. They are the reason financed offers fall through here and the reason a cash buyer is often the realistic option.
A previous listing fell through at inspection. Does that hurt my offer?
Not at all, and it does not surprise us. Near the DART station and 15th Street we regularly buy houses that already went under contract once and collapsed at underwriting. What killed that deal is priced into ours from the start.
Is the lot worth more than the house?
Sometimes, and we will tell you when that is the case. On some downtown Plano lots the land carries the value and the structure is close to a teardown. That usually means a higher number than you expect, so it is worth asking rather than assuming an old house is worth little.
