The Deal Desk — Off-Market Austin Acquisitions

Two ways in

One desk. Both sides of the deal.

Most "we buy houses" sites only chase sellers. This desk runs both sides like a trading floor — sourcing distressed deals and placing them with a vetted list of cash buyers.

For investors

First look at vetted off-market deals

Get on a short, private buyer list and see deals before they ever hit the shared blast — with the numbers already run.

Full memo: ARV, rehab scope, comps, cap rate, projected profit
Matched to your buy box — ZIP, strategy, price band
Numbers built to survive your inspection, not to be re-traded

Underwriting is the product

The numbers your buyer can't re-trade at inspection.

In a softer Austin market, deals don't die at contract — they die at the inspection, when the rehab number was wrong. Every deal on this desk ships with the repair scope and the comps that justify it, so a buyer commits with confidence and closes on time.

①
Real comps, not guesses. ARV backed by four recent, like-kind sales in the same submarket.
②
Scoped rehab. A line-item repair budget so the flip math holds when the inspector shows up.
③
Both exits modeled. Flip profit and rental cap rate, because your buyers run different playbooks.

Pre-foreclosure, auction and REO supply is climbing while buyers turn cautious. The desk reads the data every week so you're sourcing where the distress actually is — and pricing for a market that's moving.

How the desk works

Source. Underwrite. Match.

A repeatable engine, not a pile of leads. Each deal moves through the same three gates before it reaches a buyer.

/ 01

Source off-market

Distressed and motivated sellers across Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop — found before they ever list, and put under contract right.

/ 02

Underwrite tight

ARV from real comps, a scoped rehab budget, both flip and rental exits — packaged into a memo that survives inspection.

/ 03

Match to a closer

The deal goes to the vetted buyers whose buy box it fits — first, and privately — so it closes fast at a fair spread.

Boots on the ground

Sourced block by block — before they list.

Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop. The desk finds distressed and motivated owners early, so your deals come from real relationships on the ground — not a feed every other investor is already bidding on.

Licensed. Disclosed. No games.

The legitimate way to do off-market.

Most "cash for houses" operators aren't licensed and don't tell you what they're doing. This desk is run by a licensed Texas agent and built to the letter of the law — which protects the seller, the buyer, and the deal.

✓
Equitable-interest disclosure to seller & buyer, per Texas Property Code §5.0205.
✓
Broker-identified advertising & IABS / Consumer Protection Notice, per TREC §535.155.
✓
A real licensed agent on every transaction — not an anonymous wholesaler.
✓
Equal Housing Opportunity. Honest numbers, no pressure tactics.
