How it works
How selling your Katy house for cash works
Send the address
Tell us the address and the condition of the house. Photos help, and sending a house creates no obligation.
We look at the house and the street
We review the house, the recent sales near it and the work it needs, and someone from Provenial gets back to you within 24 hours.
You get a written cash offer
Provenial is the buyer. The offer comes in writing on a Texas purchase contract, usually the Texas Real Estate Commission's One to Four Family Residential Contract, and you decide whether to sign it.
A title company handles the closing
A Texas title company holds the earnest money, runs the title search, pays off any loan or lien from the sale and records the deed with the county clerk.
What we buy
Houses we buy in Katy
We buy Katy houses as they stand: houses that need foundation or roof work, fire-damaged houses, houses with code violations or city liens, vacant houses, rentals with tenants in place and inherited houses.
We also buy from owners who are behind on the mortgage or selling during a divorce. Sellers pay Provenial no fees or commissions, and repairs and staging stay off your list.
Katy market
Katy home prices in 2026
The Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center splits Katy into three market areas. In August 2026 the median sale price was $290,000 in Katy North with 5.30 months of inventory, $500,000 in Katy Southwest with 4.53 months and $415,000 in Katy Southeast with 3.73 months.
A listed house competes with every one of those listings. Texas homes that sold in April 2026 spent an average of 70 days on the market, and the median seller cut $12,500 from the list price, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center.

The Harris County Flood Control District runs a voluntary Home Buyout Program for houses that sit several feet deep in the floodplain. Its hotline is 346-286-4020.
About a fifth of Katy housing, 20.4%, was built before 1980, according to the Census Bureau. Provenial buys flood-damaged houses and older houses as they stand.
Before you sign
How to check a cash buyer in Katy
Ask whose name goes on the contract and on the deed. Call the title company named in the contract yourself to confirm it holds the earnest money, and look up the buyer's recorded purchases in the county deed records. Walk away from any buyer that asks you for money to review a house. The Texas cash sale guide covers what to read in the contract before you sign.
