Licensed Houston buyers, not a national call centre
These are Houston houses we actually bought.
Volcan has closed and funded more than 200 homes across Greater Houston. Below are real ones — the neighbourhood, what the situation was, and how many days each took. We buy as-is, we pay cash, and we have never renegotiated a price at the closing table.

Any condition, any situation
The situations we buy in
Houses come to us in every possible state, and so do the people selling them. None of it surprises us, and none of it changes how you get treated.
Inherited homes and probate
A large share of what we buy. We work through heir disputes, multiple owners and probate timelines with the title company, and we can buy one owner's share if the others aren't ready.
Payments behind, foreclosure dated
We buy from owners who have fallen behind and are running out of runway. We have closed with a foreclosure date already on the calendar, coordinating the payoff directly with the lender.
Landlords who are done
Turnover, repairs, non-paying tenants, a property three cities away. We buy occupied and handle the tenant conversation, so nobody has to be evicted before a sale can happen.
Fire, flood and major repairs
Houses no retail buyer's lender will finance. Foundation movement, roof failure, storm and fire damage. We buy them in that condition and do the work ourselves afterwards.
Vacant and long empty
Properties sitting empty for years, sometimes with squatters or code violations attached. We deal with all of it as part of the purchase rather than asking you to clear it first.
Moving, downsizing, starting over
Not every sale is a hard one. Plenty of the homes we buy are in good shape and the owner simply wants a date they can count on instead of a listing that might drag.
We also buy mobile homes, vacant land, multi-family and small commercial property, across Greater Houston and roughly two hours around it.
Real names, real licences
The people who will actually call you back
Every one is licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission and works out of our office on Katy Freeway. When you get in touch, one of these six picks it up.

Volcan buys for its own account. We are not a lead broker — your address and phone number are not resold to a list of other investors, which is what happens to most enquiries in this industry.
No surprises
What happens if you reach out
Written out in full, because the not-knowing is the part most people dislike.
-
A licensed person calls you, usually the same day
Not an automated system and not a script. They ask about the property and what you are trying to achieve, and answer whatever you ask back.
-
We look at the house whenever suits you
Virtual walkthrough or in person. Nothing needs cleaning, fixing or moving out first. We are checking structure and systems, not tidiness.
-
You get a number and the reasoning behind it
Along with the other routes available — listing it, a leaseback where you sell now and stay on, or payments over time. If listing nets you more, we say so.
-
If you say yes, you choose the closing date
A title company handles the closing. The price agreed is the price paid — we have never gone back and reduced an offer at the table.
No fee at any stage, and no obligation to accept. Saying no costs you nothing.
In their words

Before you send anything
The questions people ask us most
Is a cash offer just a lowball offer?
It is below full retail, and we will say that plainly — that is the trade for speed, certainty and paying no commission, no repairs and no closing costs. We show you how we reached the number. If listing would genuinely net you more, we tell you, and several of our agents are licensed to list it for you instead.
What happens to my details?
They stay with us. We buy for our own account, so there is nothing to gain from reselling them — which is exactly what most "we buy houses" enquiries are used for. You will hear from one licensed person, not fifteen investors.
Do I have to decide anything on the call?
No. There is no fee at any stage and no obligation. Plenty of people get a number from us, think about it for months, and some never sell at all. Saying no costs you nothing.
The house is in bad shape. Is it too far gone?
Almost certainly not. Fire, flood, foundation movement, years vacant, squatters, code violations, hoarding — all of it is in the list above, and all of it closed. You do not need to clean, repair or clear anything first.
