Sell your house and walk away clean. Cash offer in 24 hours.
All cash — no bank, no mortgage, no financing that can fall through. A closing day you pick, and nothing left to fix or explain. Whatever you’re dealing with, or just done with the house or the land, we’ve closed on it before:
either way
The details, if you want them. Pick a bloom.
Star Thing LLC · Florida · Texas · Georgia
Sale price − what you owe − transfer tax − title insurance − taxes owed up to closing
Transfer tax and title insurance follow local custom and are negotiable in the contract. You get the exact, itemized number 3 business days before closing. No agent commission. No buyer-side surprises.
Money in your bank in as little as 13 days
How it works, start to close · tap to readSend your address and we do the math within 24 hours. You get one cash offer, the higher of our two paths, and 7 days to decide. Sign, and your price and closing date are locked in one contract that doesn’t change. Inspection and title work run 7–13 days; you close in 13–31 at a licensed title company. If a network buyer (Path B) closes instead of us, you get their name in writing 3 business days before closing, at the same price and paperwork, either way.
Whatever shape it’s in, we’ll still close
Situations we handle & property types we buy · tap to see themBehind on the mortgage
Your lender gets paid first, at closing.
The foreclosure sale date is set by the court. When the timeline allows, we work to close before it.
Behind on property taxes
Back taxes are paid off at closing from the sale proceeds, before you see a dollar.
The clerk sets the tax-deed sale date. When the timeline allows, we work to close, or pay off the taxes, before the sale completes.
Divorce / dissolution
Both spouses sign at closing. Or one of you, with the right paperwork.
We work around your court schedule.
Problem tenant in place
You don’t have to evict anyone first. We buy with the tenant in place and take the lease, the deposit, and the situation off your hands.
The lease and security deposit transfer to us under your state’s landlord-tenant law, we follow it in every state we buy in.
Storm / flood / fire damage
Damaged houses close on the same timeline. We buy them as they are.
If the house is in a flood zone, the contract says so.
Code violations / liens
Liens, old permits, contractor claims, identified in the title search and paid off through closing.
The title company runs the search and disburses from the proceeds before the deed changes hands.
Insurance / condo issues
Insurance dropped. Condo failed its milestone inspection.
We can buy these and hold them, usually Path A.
Relocating / job change
Pick a closing date that lines up with your move, no carrying two places.
You can sign remotely; we close on your schedule.
Downsizing / retirement
Take what you want, leave the rest, and we clear out whatever stays.
No repairs or staging; one simple closing.
Vacant or hard to rent
Stop paying to hold an empty house that isn’t earning.
Condition doesn’t matter. We buy as-is and take it from here.
Needs major repairs
Roof, foundation, plumbing, a full gut, decades of deferred work, you fix none of it. We price the house as it stands and buy it that way.
The repair cost is built into our offer math; you don’t front a dollar or lift a hammer.
We close the most in Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, and Savannah. Smaller towns and rural areas take a few extra days.
- Single-family homes, condos, townhouses
- Multi-family & value-add multifamily (duplex to small apartment)
- Mobile / manufactured homes on their own land
- Vacant land, lots, and rural acreage
- Storm, flood, fire, or mold damage; hoarder cleanups
- Tenant-occupied and vacant rental properties
- Behind on mortgage, taxes, or with code violations
- Inherited, off-market, and direct-to-seller deals
- Open to seller financing and other creative structures
- Leave what you don’t want, we clean it out after closing
We close in 1 to 2 months. Anything goes as long as the law allows it in that window, so the only things that don’t fit are the ones that can’t move that fast:
- Outside our states (FL, TX, GA)
- Anything court-gated that can’t clear in 1–2 months (active bankruptcy, contested probate or divorce)
- Mobile homes without their own land; timeshares
- Title problems we can’t fix in 30 days
Stop paying taxes on a lot that just sits there. We buy raw and vacant land for cash across all our states: residential lots, rural acreage, inherited or tax-delinquent parcels, even landlocked or unbuildable land. We cover closing costs, and there’s nothing to clear or improve first. Send the parcel number or address and we’ll come back with a number.
Real estate investors and cash buyers: Star Thing Valley is a deal source, not just a buyer. Looking for off-market deals instead of selling one? We source and contract discounted properties across Florida, Texas, and Georgia: fix & flips, buy-and-hold rentals, value-add multifamily, land, and seller-finance opportunities. Every deal we send is under a binding contract we hold, no daisy chains, and the assignment is disclosed in writing and closed at a licensed title company. You get the address, asking price, ARV with comps, an itemized rehab estimate (not a generic $/sqft guess), photos, and access details, so you can underwrite before you drive.
Serious buyers only: we ask for proof of funds and a short track record before the first close, so deals go to people who can actually close them. Send your buy box →
Your price and date, locked in writing
Our commitments, the legal basics & how we price · tap to read- You sign one contract with Star Thing LLC. We close, or one of our network buyers closes. Your price and date stay the same.
- The offer is all cash. There is no buyer mortgage and no financing contingency, so the deal can’t collapse at the last minute the way a financed sale can — about 1 in 4 financed contracts are delayed or fall through.
- Sale price locked when you sign. The contract number is what you get at closing.
- The timeline: written response in 24 hours, offer holds 7 days from delivery, then inspection 7–13 days and closing 13–31 days from signing (longer only if the title needs work).
- Closing happens at a licensed title company or closing attorney. You get the final numbers 3 business days before.
- If a network buyer closes (Path B), you get their name in writing 3 business days before.
- Your information stays private. We only share it with the title company, attorneys, and our software providers.
- We are a principal or assignee, not a broker. We buy for our own account or assign the contract to a vetted buyer. Under Florida Chapter 475 a broker acts for another for compensation; we are a party to the contract, not your agent.
- Selling AS-IS does not let you hide a known problem. Florida law (Johnson v. Davis, 1985) requires sellers to disclose serious hidden defects they actually know about; TX and GA have their own versions. You can skip the repairs, not the disclosure.
- Tenants, liens, and tax/foreclosure timelines follow state law and the court or clerk, not us. Security deposits transfer to the new owner under your state's landlord-tenant law (in Florida, F.S. §83.49); auction and sale dates are set by the court or clerk, and we work within them.
Most cash buyers eyeball a few photos and lowball. We build your offer from real numbers, so it holds up and you can see it’s fair.
- Real measurements and real comps. Actual square footage and condition, priced against recent comparable sales near you, the same data an appraiser uses.
- Real contractor quotes. Repair costs come from independent bids, not a number we invent to pad our margin.
- You can see the math. Ask and we’ll walk you through exactly how we got to the offer. No black box.

How long has your house been listed with no offer?
There's a known curve to how listings go. Tell us the days on market and we'll show you honestly where yours sits, what the data says happens next, and your real options. Ours is the all-cash one — no buyer, no mortgage, nothing to fall through — but we'll show you the others too.
Your honest options from here
This is a general guide based on FL/TX/GA market patterns, not advice about your specific home. Days-on-market behavior varies by county, price, and condition. A relisting can reset the public day count. Talk to a licensed agent or a title company about your situation.
Where the stale-listing pattern comes from
- The 90-day cliff. Listings that cross ~90 days pick up a "what's wrong with it?" stigma, and price cuts after that rarely recover momentum. Market analysis of the stale-listing curve.
- How many homes sit. Roughly 3 in 5 listed homes have sat 30+ days without an offer; 2 in 5 for 60+. Axios (Redfin data).

Cash offer vs. listing with an agent
For homes in Florida, Texas & Georgia
Money in under 4 weeks, or maybe-more-maybe-later?
Straight up: listing can net you more money — if it sells, if the buyer's financing holds, and if you can wait months while paying to hold the house. We pay less, in cash, but it's a real number you get in under 4 weeks when your title is clear. This shows you the honest trade: a bit more money later vs. certainty now.
A clean, move-in-ready home priced right takes about 4 months to sell and close in FL/TX/GA. It runs longer — 6 months, a year, sometimes never at full price — when the house needs work, sits in a slow or rural county, demand is soft, or it’s priced even a little high and slides into repeated price cuts.

Estimate only, for comparison. Cash figure assumes about 65% of fixed-up value — a typical FL/TX/GA cash-buyer level, traded for speed and certainty; your real offer depends on the property and often runs higher. *Closing in under 4 weeks assumes clear title; title issues (liens, probate, missing heirs) add time and we tell you up front. Agent path uses a 5.7% total commission (the FL/TX/GA average) and a repair-credit estimate; real costs vary. We don't deduct your mortgage payoff here — that comes out of both paths equally. Not financial advice.
Where these numbers come from — check them yourself
- Time to sell (FL ~4 months). Florida homes take a median of about 69–80 days just to go under contract, then roughly 30–45 more days to close. Live data: Redfin — Florida, Texas, Georgia.
- Homes that sit or don't sell. Roughly 3 in 5 listed homes have sat 30+ days without an offer, and 2 in 5 for 60+ days; in softer Florida counties a majority of price-reduced homes sit past 60 days. See Axios (Redfin data).
- Agent commission (~5.7%). The FL/TX/GA average runs about 5.7–5.8% total, split between agents and negotiable since the 2024 NAR settlement. See commission survey.
- Cash offers (~65% of value). Direct cash buyers and investor networks typically pay below retail in exchange for speed and an as-is, no-fee sale. See cash-buyer comparison.
- Financing fall-through (~1 in 4). About a quarter of financed home contracts are delayed or collapse before closing — a risk a cash sale removes.
These are honest market estimates, not a quote. Markets move and every property is different — verify your own situation with a title company or a licensed agent.
Straight answers before you sign
Frequently asked · tap to openBefore you decide
Sale price minus what you owe and standard closing costs. Your mortgage is paid off first, you keep the rest. You get the exact number in writing 3 business days before closing. No agent commission, no buyer-side surprises. (The breakdown is in “What you take home” above.)
Straight answer: our cash offer is around 65% of fixed-up value — sometimes higher depending on the deal. We pay less than a retail sale because what you’re buying from us is speed and certainty: money in under 4 weeks when title is clear, as-is, no repairs, no showings, no agent fees, and no deal falling through. A clean house that can wait months will usually net more on the open market — and we’ll tell you so. Need it done fast or the house needs work? That’s us. Get a cash offer →
13–31 days from signing when title and diligence are clear, longer only if the title needs curing, and we tell you up front. Part of why it’s fast: we pay all cash, so there’s no buyer mortgage to underwrite and no financing contingency that can stall or collapse the deal. If you can’t move in the next few weeks, an agent is the better fit.
A licensed title company or closing attorney, never us, holds all funds and pays you at closing. The one real risk is wire fraud: verify wire instructions by calling a number you looked up yourself, never from an email.
No. We buy as-is; leave behind whatever you don’t want. AS-IS doesn’t let you hide a known problem. Every state requires disclosing serious defects you know about (Johnson v. Davis in FL), but you skip the repairs.
Signing is a real commitment and backing out can cost your deposit, so don’t sign unless you’re sure. If something genuinely changes, tell us early and we’ll usually release you rather than fight it.
We either buy it ourselves (Path A) or assign the contract to a vetted cash buyer (Path B), at the same price to you. Your deposit sits with a licensed title company, and any assignment fee is paid by the buyer, never out of your price.
