FSBO rules in Texas
What O Brien FSBO sellers should know.
Required disclosures
Texas requires a written seller property disclosure for most residential sales. Federal lead-paint disclosure applies to any home built before 1978. You handle disclosures directly with your closing professional — homeinvestor.co just provides the marketing space.
Who closes the deal
A title company handles closing in Texas. Texas homestead protections affect equity at closing — factor those in when you set your price.
Who's buying in O Brien
Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio are four of the largest cash-buyer markets in the U.S., with very competitive offers. Smaller metros (Lubbock, El Paso, McAllen, Corpus) are thinner but still steady year-round.

FAQ
Questions O Brien FSBO sellers ask us.
- How much can I save listing FSBO in O Brien?
- Roughly $9,000 on a typical O Brien home. homeinvestor.co FSBO listings are free — you avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely. You may still owe buyer-agent compensation if the buyer is represented; many O Brien FSBO sellers offer 2–3% to attract agents while still saving the listing-side commission.
- How long do FSBO homes sit on the market in O Brien, Texas?
- Median FSBO time-to-contract in O Brien runs around 84 days when the home is priced right and presented well. Underpriced and well-photographed FSBO homes can go pending in under 14 days; overpriced ones can sit indefinitely.
- Do I have to put my O Brien FSBO on the MLS?
- No — homeinvestor.co's marketplace gives you direct exposure to retail buyers and to our pre-screened cash-buyer network without the MLS. If you want MLS exposure too, you can pair our listing with a flat-fee MLS service (typically $300–$500 in Texas) and still avoid the listing-agent commission.
- What disclosures do I need to make as a Texas FSBO seller?
- Texas requires a written seller's property disclosure for most residential sales — defects you actually know about, not what an inspector might find. Lead-based paint disclosure is federally required on any home built before 1978. You handle the disclosures with your closing professional — homeinvestor.co just gives you the space to market your home.
- Can I get a backup cash offer while my O Brien home is listed FSBO?
- Yes — that's the point of the dual-listing option. Your O Brien home stays publicly listed FSBO for retail buyers, and at the same time we match you with a pre-screened cash buyer for a written backup offer. Pick whichever closes you cleaner.
- Who handles closing on an FSBO sale in O Brien?
- A neutral closing professional — typically a Texas title company, escrow agent, or attorney depending on local custom — handles paperwork, title, and the wire. You pick and engage them directly; homeinvestor.co doesn't broker the closing — we just give you the space to market your O Brien home.
