About Harris County
Selling a house in Harris County
Harris County lies on the upper Texas Gulf Coast and contains most of the city of Houston, which is also the county seat. Pasadena, Baytown and a ring of unincorporated suburbs such as Katy, Cypress, Spring and Humble round out the county. The energy industry, the Port of Houston and its petrochemical complex, the Texas Medical Center and NASA's Johnson Space Center anchor the local economy.
Harris County is the most populous county in Texas, home to about 5,009,302 people. Its cities and towns include Houston, Pasadena, Baytown, La Porte, Deer Park, and Bellaire, and it covers 132 ZIP codes.
Harris County's large employers include Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann Health System, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, ExxonMobil, and H-E-B, and it is home to Rice University and University of Houston.

Harris County borders Chambers County, Liberty County, Montgomery County, Brazoria County, Waller County, and Galveston County. We buy houses across all of them, and anywhere else in Texas.
About 37% of homes in Harris County were built before 1980, and 45% of households rent, while 8% of housing sits vacant. New or old, we buy houses here as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Landlords can sell a rental with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Whether the house is inherited, facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes or simply no longer fits, selling in Harris County starts with the address. The deed, any liens and the county's tax records are cleared through the title company at closing; the deed is recorded with Harris County Clerk, and property values and taxes are kept by Harris Central Appraisal District.
