Got a property that’s causing more stress than it’s worth? Maybe it’s sitting vacant, racking up repair bills, or inching toward foreclosure. Whatever the reason, selling a distressed house doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Here’s how to get out fast and come out ahead in Fort Worth.
What Makes a Property Distressed?
A distressed home is either physically rundown or financially tangled—or both. It might be:
- Vacant or abandoned
- Behind on mortgage or taxes
- Inherited with issues
- Under threat of foreclosure
- Hit with liens or code violations

Most traditional buyers don’t want to touch these. But we do. At Oak Summit Group, we buy distressed homes in any condition, no judgment, no fixes required.
Why You Can’t Wait: Texas Foreclosure Timeline
Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning lenders can foreclose without going through court. That makes the process faster than in most states—sometimes as few as 41 days after a missed payment, according to the Texas foreclosure timeline.
If you’ve received a Notice of Default or are struggling with payments, it’s not too late—but you need to act fast. We can often close before the auction date, saving your credit and giving you a clean slate.
