Why Homeowners Across East Texas Choose Swift & Noble
Selling your home is a big decision; we don’t take that lightly. That’s why many homeowners across East Texas — from Tyler to Longview, Henderson to Kilgore — trust Swift & Noble when they need a fast, honest solution. We’re not just investors. We’re problem solvers who genuinely care about your situation.
Many sellers tell us they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next step. Whether it’s a sudden job relocation, an inherited property full of belongings, or a rental that’s been more stressful than income, we’ve heard it all. That’s why we offer a straightforward, respectful process that puts your needs first.
We pride ourselves on communication. If you have a question or concern, we’re just a phone call or text away. We don’t believe in high-pressure tactics—just honest conversations and fair solutions. There are no inspections, appraisals, or waiting for a bank to approve a loan—just a straight-forward cash offer with a timeline that works for you.
What Makes Us Different From Other “We Buy Houses” Companies?
Unlike large national companies or out-of-state investors, we live and work in East Texas. We know the market, the neighborhoods, and most importantly, the people. Our reputation matters, and we’re committed to being the most trusted name in local home buying.
We don’t just consider your house a transaction—we see the story behind it. We aim to help you move forward with dignity, confidence, and cash in hand.
Q: Will you list my house on the MLS or buy it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Swift & Noble Solutions, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses East Texas that meet our purchasing criteria and don’t use bank financing, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house, resell it to another homeowner, or keep it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide an excellent service for those who can wait 4+ months to sell and don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk of purchasing the house with our cash, repairing it, and marketing it ourselves to find a buyer.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this to resell it to another homeowner for a profit. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in selling your house quickly, let’s see if we can create a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you don’t have to move forward with our offer… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very transparent. We carefully assess the property’s location, required repairs, current condition, and the value of comparable houses recently sold in East Texas. By analyzing all these factors, we determine a fair price that aligns with market trends and meets your expectations as a homeowner.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Experience the difference with us – when you sell your house directly to Swift & Noble, NO fees or commissions are involved, unlike traditional listing fees that can eat up to 6% of your sale price. We present you with a fair offer, and if it aligns with your needs, we handle the entire process without any hassles or costs. We may even cover the closing expenses! Our profit is derived only after investing in necessary repairs and reselling the property. By selling to us, you eliminate the uncertainties and financial burdens associated with property ownership, walking away with cash in hand and peace of mind.
Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?
A: You are under no obligation whatsoever. Once you share details about your property, we will evaluate the information, potentially schedule a call to delve deeper, and provide you with a competitive all-cash offer. The decision to sell your house to us is entirely yours. Your choice matters, and we want you to do what’s right for you.
Q: What if my house has code violations or liens?
A: That’s not a problem. We’ve purchased many properties with liens, code violations, or other legal hurdles. We’ll work with our title company to help resolve them during the sale process. In many cases, we can even buy the house with issues still in place.
Q: Can I sell if I’m out of state or not living in the property?
A: Yes! Many of our sellers live out of town or inherited property they’ve never seen. We can handle everything remotely and even overnight paperwork if needed. You don’t have to be local to get a cash offer and close quickly.
Q: What happens if I change my mind after requesting an offer?
A: No worries! You are never obligated to move forward. Getting an offer is entirely free and no-pressure. If your plans change, just let us know.
