About
Fort Bend Short Sales buys houses in the Houston metro. We are the purchaser. You are the seller. That is the whole relationship.
We are a principal. We write a purchase. We close a purchase. We are not a listing brokerage, a law firm, or a HUD counseling agency. If you want to sell a house that is behind, in default, in loss mit, listed as a short sale, or already posted, this is a purchase conversation.
The name is a brand, not a county fence. Fort Bend is where a lot of the files sit. The rest of the metro is in play: Harris, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Waller, and the counties around them. Same buyer. Same rule.
Mailing address: 24301 Brazos Town Xing Ste 500, Rosenberg, TX 77471. Text or call 346-742-1334.
Do not mail deeds, identification, bank records, or other sensitive documents.
Where we buy
Sugar Land, Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Missouri City, Fresno, Fulshear, Stafford, Pearland, Cypress, and the rest of the Houston metro. If the house is in that footprint and you still have title, we will look at it.
We publish Fort Bend first-Tuesday sale months at public foreclosure sales so this market is visible. That page is a month index of posted addresses. It is not a bid desk and it is not a listing by us. If your house is heading onto that calendar, see what a posted notice means and talk before the date.
Why this door exists
Texas does not wait for you to feel ready. Property Code § 51.002 requires a public sale at auction on the first Tuesday of the month (or the first Wednesday if that Tuesday is January 1 or July 4). Notice of that sale must be given at least 21 days before — posted, filed with the county clerk, and mailed by certified mail.
That is why this door exists. A purchase you still control is the out. Hope is not a payoff. Servicer “review” is not a stay. We buy while you are still the seller. We do not pull the posting. We do not run your workout.
If you want to keep the house, that fight is free help — start at Houston Foreclosure Help. That site is educational. This one is a buyer.
Statute links are the official text. This site is not a law firm. We do not give legal advice.
The purchase
Three structures. The numbers pick which one, not a script.
Cash. If the payoff works, we buy for cash. You convey title. The loan gets paid. The file ends with you still choosing.
Short sale. If you owe more than the house will sell for, the lender has to approve a payoff below the balance and release the lien. Title is still yours until we close. We negotiate our price with the servicer because we are the buyer on the contract. We do not buy “from the bank” unless the bank already owns the house. That is REO, a different deal. A deficiency waiver or relocation money, if any, is the lender’s call. We can ask. We cannot promise it. What the lender is actually looking at.
Subject-to. Only if that structure is actually on the table and you understand the loan can stay in your name and the lender can accelerate. It is not an assumption. It is not the default path for a posted sale. It is not help.
Sometimes we assign the contract. We are still the buyer on the paper until the assignee closes. Assignment is a file-by-file term, not the public pitch.
The step-by-step is on How we buy.
How a conversation runs
If you want to sell, tell us what is going on with the house. Loan. Any notice. Who lives there. Condition. Occupied or empty. That is enough to start. We look at the house and the loan. The offer follows the numbers.
Bring a default letter, a notice of sale, a denied modification, or just the fact that you are behind. Fort Bend and the rest of the metro. Same conversation.
What we are not
We are not your agent, lawyer, or HUD counselor. We do not list a house we intend to buy. We do not stop a foreclosure sale. We do not complete a short sale “for you” as your person. We do not promise a deficiency waiver, relocation money, or that the sale will not happen.
If the servicer wants the house on MLS, a listing agent lists it. We stay the disclosed buyer. If you want to keep the house, that is not this site. Start with who to call for free help at Houston Foreclosure Help.
Advisor
Randy Patrick advises this buying business. He is based in Tampa. In his own words, he has been party to hundreds of transactions, as an agent and as a principal. On a Texas file he is not your listing agent, and this site is not a brokerage. His channel is Randy Patrick on YouTube.
Three videos from that channel are about short sales. They are his, not a pitch from this site.
