Most cash home buyer websites look alike because most of them are. Many cash-buyer websites are lead-generation companies, not local buyers. They collect property information and send it to investors in different markets. Texas Land and Home is different because you are dealing with a Tyler-based buyer.
My name is Anthony Minniti. I grew up in Tyler. I went to Tyler Junior College and graduated from UT Tyler. In 2019, I started Texas Land and Home because I saw a real need — homeowners dealing with inherited properties, looming foreclosures, or houses that needed more work than they could afford, who had no one in their corner to help them think through their options clearly and honestly.
When you call (903) 202-2220, you’re talking to me or someone on my small, local team — not a call center. Every offer comes from someone who actually knows what houses in Hollytree are worth versus houses off Old Bullard Road. That local knowledge is what makes the difference between a fair offer and a lowball.
Tell us a little about the property, and we will review the details, look at the local market, and explain whether a direct cash sale makes sense for your situation.
Since 2019, we’ve closed more than 50 property transactions across Smith County, including houses, land, inherited homes, vacant properties, and mobile homes.
Yes. If you need to sell your house fast in Tyler, TX, a direct cash sale may be an option when repairs, showings, agent commissions, or buyer-financing delays are not worth the time. This can be useful for older houses, inherited properties, vacant homes, rental properties, mobile homes, land, or houses that need work before a traditional buyer can close.
Texas Land and Home reviews houses, land, inherited properties, mobile homes, and rental properties throughout Tyler and Smith County. After looking at the property and the local market, we explain the offer clearly so you can decide whether a direct sale makes sense.
Not every house is ready for the traditional market. Some Tyler properties need roof work, foundation repairs, cleanup, electrical updates, plumbing work, or major cosmetic improvements before a retail buyer or lender will be comfortable with the sale.
Other properties are not “problem houses” at all. The seller may have inherited a home, moved out of state, gone through a divorce, started probate, dealt with tenants, or reached a point where keeping the property no longer makes sense.
We commonly speak with Tyler and Smith County property owners who are dealing with:
You are not required to repair, clean out, stage, or photograph the property before contacting us.
Call (903) 202-2220 or fill in the form on this page. Give us the address and a brief description of the situation — that's all we need to get started.
We schedule a quick walkthrough — in person or via video call, whichever works for you. This isn't an inspection designed to cut the offer. It's how we make sure the number we show you is accurate and fair.
After the walkthrough, we put a written cash offer in your hands — typically the same day. You're under no obligation to accept. If you do accept, you choose the closing date.
Close through the title company, receive your funds, and move forward without more repairs, showings, or waiting.

Some buyers look at Tyler from a spreadsheet. We look at the property, the street, the condition, and the part of town it sits in. A house near Hollytree may not sell the same way as a property off Old Bullard Road, and a rental near North Tyler may attract a different buyer pool than a home in South Tyler.
Texas Land and Home reviews houses, land, inherited properties, vacant homes, rental properties, and mobile homes across Tyler and Smith County, including South Tyler, West Tyler, North Tyler, East Tyler, Hollytree, Old Bullard Road, Three Lakes, Prestonwood, the UT Tyler area, and nearby ZIP codes such as 75701, 75702, 75703, 75704, 75707, 75708, 75709, and 75791.
If your property is outside those ZIP codes, you can still contact us. We also review properties throughout Smith County and the surrounding East Texas area.
A traditional buyer may ask for repairs after inspection, and a lender may object to certain property conditions. If the house needs roof work, flooring, electrical updates, plumbing repairs, foundation attention, cleanup, or full renovation, you can still ask us for an offer.
If the mortgage is already behind, the first thing to look at is the date on the lender’s notice. That date matters more than anything else. It tells you how much time you may have to catch up, talk with the lender, list the house, or consider a cash sale before the foreclosure process moves forward.
For Tyler and Smith County homeowners, the important thing is to check the notice dates and act before the sale date gets too close.
If you own a house in Tyler or Smith County and want to sell before the foreclosure sale, we can look at the property as-is and tell you what we can realistically offer. The goal is simple: see whether there is enough time and equity left to close through a title company before the bank sale date.
Foreclosure is not something to ignore. Talk with your lender, a Texas attorney, or a housing counselor about your options. Then, if selling the house is still on the table, call us before the deadline gets too close.
Probate and estate questions should be reviewed with a qualified Texas attorney or the appropriate Smith County office before signing a sale agreement. If you’ve inherited a property and do not want to manage it, maintain it, or keep paying property taxes while the process continues, we can review the property and work with the seller, heirs, or estate representative once the proper legal authority to sell is clear. At the same time, the process continues, we can review the property and work with the seller, heirs, or estate representative once the proper legal authority to sell is clear. We can often structure an offer that accommodates the probate timeline. When probate or title timing is involved, we review the situation early so the offer and closing date fit what the title company can actually complete.
A property can be hard to sell when unpaid taxes, old liens, ownership questions, or title problems are involved. Many traditional buyers do not want to wait while those issues are reviewed, and some lenders may not move forward until the title is clear.
Texas Land and Home can review Tyler and Smith County properties with back taxes, liens, or title issues and determine whether a direct sale is still possible. These situations usually need to be reviewed by a title company, and some may also require legal or tax guidance. You can still contact us before assuming the property cannot be sold.
An empty house does not stay “paused.” The grass still grows, insurance and taxes still come due, and small problems can sit unnoticed until they become expensive. This is especially frustrating when the owner lives outside Tyler, inherited the property, or no longer has time to keep checking on it.
We buy vacant houses in Tyler and Smith County without asking the owner to clean out the property, repair it, or prepare it for buyers to walk through.
Dividing a house in a divorce is harder than splitting a bank account. If neither party wants to keep the property, a traditional listing drags out the process, costs money, and requires continued cooperation between two people who may not want to be in contact. A direct cash sale removes the house from the equation quickly and cleanly — and both parties get their share of proceeds without months of showings, negotiations, and inspections.
We also review mobile homes and manufactured homes in the Tyler area. The offer will depend on whether the land is included, whether the home can remain in place, the title status, and the condition of the structure.
No. Texas Land and Home buys Tyler properties as-is. You do not have to repair the roof, update flooring, clean out the house, repaint, or fix cosmetic issues before asking for an offer.
Yes. Texas Land and Home reviews inherited houses in Tyler and Smith County, including vacant properties, those that need repairs, or those involving multiple family members. If probate or title issues are still being handled, the sale may need to wait until the proper legal authority is clear. Estate and probate questions should be reviewed with a qualified Texas attorney or the proper Smith County office.
Yes. We can review tenant-occupied rental properties in Tyler and Smith County. Some landlords contact us because they no longer want to handle repairs, late rent, turnover, or ongoing management problems. The next step depends on the lease, the tenant situation, the property condition, and the closing timeline.
Yes. We buy houses, but we also review land throughout Smith County and nearby East Texas areas. That can include residential lots, rural acreage, timber tracts, inherited land, and undeveloped property.
Yes, we review mobile homes and manufactured homes. The offer depends on the home’s condition, whether land is included, title status, and whether the home can remain in place.
In some cases, we can close within 7 to 10 business days after the offer is accepted and the title company clears the file. Some properties take longer because of title issues, probate, liens, taxes, or the seller’s preferred timeline. We will explain the expected timing before you agree to anything.
No agent commission is charged when you sell directly to Texas Land and Home. Any closing-cost details should be confirmed in writing before you accept an offer.
A cash offer does not depend on a buyer getting mortgage approval. That can reduce financing delays, appraisal issues, repair negotiations, and uncertainty, especially when the property needs work.
Yes. Texas Land and Home has operated in Tyler since 2019, has a BBB A+ rating, and has verified Google reviews from local sellers. Anthony Minniti is a Tyler native, and you can read reviews, ask questions, request references, compare offers, and confirm that closing is handled through a title company before making a decision.
Tyler is the seat of Smith County in East Texas, roughly 100 miles east of Dallas along Highway 69 and Interstate 20. With a metro population approaching 230,000, Tyler has grown steadily on the strength of its healthcare sector (Christus Trinity Mother Frances is one of the region’s largest employers), the University of Texas at Tyler, and steady in-migration from higher-cost Texas metros.
For local market context, sellers can review the Tyler housing activity data from the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M. In spring 2026, Redfin reported Tyler’s median sale price at about $327,000, with homes spending about 69 days on the market before closing time is added. This can slow things down when a Tyler property has aging systems, sits empty, comes from an estate, or needs work that lender-backed buyers may not be able to accept.
For those sellers, the issue is not always the property’s value. It is the time and work required to get it ready for the open market. Cleaning out the house, making repairs, scheduling showings, waiting on inspections, and hoping the buyer’s loan closes can turn into a long process. A cash sale gives some Tyler and Smith County owners another way to sell without going through all of those steps.
