For homeowners

Selling your house to Myers

Is Myers Home Buyers legit?

Yes. Myers Home Buyers LLC is a licensed Texas real estate brokerage (TREC License #9005311), founded in 2017 and based in Dallas. Josh DeShong is the broker of record (TREC License #0558435). Texas sellers rate us 4.7 stars on Google, and you can verify both licenses at the TREC license lookup.

Are you the same as the "we buy houses" companies?

No — and the difference matters. Most "we buy houses" signs lead to an anonymous, unlicensed investor. Every Myers offer comes from a local real estate investor who is also a licensed Texas agent — accountable to TREC, and able to list your house instead if that nets you more.

Does it cost anything to get an offer?

No. Offers are free and no-obligation. No fee to request one, no fee to accept one, no repairs, no showings.

How does selling to Myers work?

Three steps. Tell us about the house — address, condition, how to reach you. A licensed Myers investor-agent runs the numbers and brings you a written cash offer. If you accept, you pick the closing date and a Texas title company handles the rest.

How do you calculate your offer?

Five lines of arithmetic, all of which we'll show you: what the house will be worth fixed up (from closed sales of renovated homes near you), minus repairs, minus resale costs, minus holding costs, minus the buyer's profit for taking the risk. What's left is the offer. The full math, with a worked example: how a cash buyer actually prices your house.

Will you tell me if listing my house would net more?

Yes — that's the point of dealing with a licensed investor-agent. We run both numbers, the as-is cash offer and the realistic listing net, side by side. Sometimes the answer is "list it," and we'll say so and offer to list it.

How fast can you close?

You pick the date. A few weeks when speed matters, or months out if you need time. Because we buy as-is, there's no repair or showing timeline to wait on.

What kinds of houses do you buy?

Any condition and most property types: single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses, condos, inherited properties, rentals with tenants, houses with foundation problems, fire or water damage, code violations, or forty years of stuff still inside. If it's real estate in Texas, we'll look at it.

Where do you buy?

Throughout Texas, with our deepest roots in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Who pays closing costs?

Standard seller closing costs are part of the written offer we present — you'll see exactly what you net before you sign anything. No surprise deductions at the closing table.

Do I need to clean out the house?

No. Take what you want, leave the rest — furniture, appliances, whatever's in the attic. We handle it.

What happens after I accept?

The contract goes to a Texas title company, title work runs (usually 1–3 weeks), and you close on the date you chose. You'll have your agent's cell the whole way.

Can I stay in the house for a while after closing?

Often, yes. Leasebacks and flexible move-out dates are negotiated deal by deal — tell your agent what you need up front.

Do you buy houses with tenants in them?

Yes. The lease survives the sale in Texas, and investors often prefer tenants in place. You don't need to evict anyone to sell — here's how selling a tenant-occupied rental works.

Can I sell before probate is finished?

Usually someone needs legal authority to sign the deed first, but Texas probate is friendlier than most states, and straightforward cases often move in weeks. We work with estates constantly — see selling an inherited house in Texas.

Can I sell if I'm behind on payments or facing foreclosure?

Yes, right up until the sale date — but the earlier you act, the more options you have. Texas foreclosure moves fast; our foreclosure guide walks the real timeline.

What about back property taxes or liens?

Usually solvable. Taxes and most liens get paid out of the sale proceeds at closing — they come off the top, not out of your pocket beforehand. Details: behind on property taxes in Texas.

How is Myers different from Opendoor or HomeVestors?

iBuyers like Opendoor make algorithmic offers on good-condition homes and charge a service fee. Franchise buyers purchase as-is through local franchisees. Myers buys as-is in any condition with no service fee — and because every Myers buyer is licensed, they can list your house instead if that nets you more. Full comparison here.

Who owns Myers Home Buyers?

Founder and CEO Josh DeShong — a 20-year investor and broker who has flipped more than 3,000 homes and brokered more than 8,000 transactions. Myers was founded in 2017 in Dallas, Texas: 17304 Preston Rd. Ste 615, Dallas, TX 75252.

For agents

Joining Myers as an agent

Does Myers give its agents leads?

Yes. Myers runs its own seller marketing and passes those seller leads to its agents. Every agent also gets a Carrot website, CarrotCRM, and AI lead tools at onboarding, included with membership.

What's the split?

90% of every commission dollar goes back to the agent network. On each deal: 60% to the acquisitions agent, 20% to the sales agent, 10% to the revenue share pool, 10% to Myers. Handle both sides yourself and you keep the full 80%. The full breakdown, with a worked deal: careers at Myers.

What does it cost to be a Myers agent?

$105 transaction fee per closing and $150/month technology fee. That's it, stated plainly.

How does revenue share work?

10% of gross commission income on every deal flows into a pool paid up six levels of the closing agent's sponsorship tree — 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, then 25% again at level 6, which rewards building deep, not just wide. An "active" agent closed a deal in the last 90 days. All revenue share figures are illustrations, not income guarantees.

Can I bring my team?

Yes. Small team leaders are exactly who we're built for — the operating unit moves with you.

What training and support do I actually get?

A broker of record who has personally flipped 3,000+ houses, live weekly investor-led training, off-market deal flow from day one, transactional funding when a closing needs it, and dispo support from agents who move houses every week.

How many ways do Myers agents get paid?

Five income streams: wholesale and assignment spreads, flip profits, traditional brokerage commissions, revenue share, and equity programs as they roll out.

For investors

Investors & wholesalers

What is an investor-agent?

A licensed real estate agent with an investor-first mindset. The license is the handle; wholesaling, flipping, and listing are the tools. One platform, every exit: assign it, flip it, or list it — whichever the deal deserves.

Is wholesaling legal in Texas?

Yes — and doing it as a licensed agent is the cleanest way. Texas Occupations Code §1101.0045 requires unlicensed wholesalers to disclose their equitable interest in writing. Licensed Myers investor-agents keep every exit open on every deal. The law, explained: what §1101.0045 actually requires.

I'm a wholesaler — why would I get licensed?

More exits and less friction. A license removes the disclosure constraint on assignments and adds flipping and listing to every deal you control. Myers recruits experienced wholesalers and is built to be their broker of record.

Does Myers provide funding for deals?

Transactional funding is available when a closing needs it. Contracts are written in your (or your entity's) name, and agents handle their own earnest money and option fees.

Can I buy investment properties from Myers?

Yes. Our investor-agents move off-market Texas deals every week. Get on the buyers list and inventory comes to you — the deal platform itself is being rebuilt and will relaunch.

I run a franchise cash-buying operation. Can I join Myers?

Barring any prior written agreements you've signed, yes. Franchise operators and independent volume buyers join Myers as investor-agents, keep acquiring the way they already do, and gain exits they don't have today — listing what deserves retail, and moving excess inventory through the Myers network.

Do I need experience to start doing deals at Myers?

Standards protect the network: associates sell 3 homes or bring 12 months of agent or investor experience before acquiring. Training is live, weekly, and investor-led — built to get new investor-agents deal-ready.
