Why Vacant Homes in Texas Can Be a Liability

When a house sits empty too long, it becomes a target for:

  • Code violations (overgrown yards, broken windows, trash)

  • Vandalism or break-ins that insurance may not cover

  • Squatters who may require a legal eviction

  • Costly maintenance issues that worsen over time

  • Foreclosure or tax liens if payments fall behind

Does a Vacant Home Need Staging?

Nope — not if you’re selling to us.
But if you’re going the traditional route, you might consider light staging to help buyers imagine the space.

We’ll give honest advice — or just buy it as-is.
