A friend mentions a cash buyer in Plano after you complain about the house in Mesquite you no longer want to keep up. You look it up, and the name is Southern Hills Home Buyers. Now you want to know what the company is, how it works and what it costs you. This explainer covers all of it in plain terms.
Anyone searching Southern Hills Home Buyers Dallas will find a lot of city pages and a lot of promises. Here, every point comes from the company's own site, its BBB profile or real seller reviews. Where a figure is the company's own claim, it's marked that way.
Southern Hills Home Buyers is family-owned and buys homes as an investor from its base in Plano, Texas. The company describes itself this way: "We are family-owned and operated local investor home buyers in the Dallas metro." Brandon Beatty is the founder, and the BBB lists him as Managing Member. The business has been running since 2017.
It isn't a real estate agency. Its FAQ says, "We're not agents, and we don't list houses." Instead, the company buys homes with its own offer, repairs them and resells them. That's how it makes money, and it's open about it. For an outside check, the BBB lists an A+ rating and accreditation since March 23, 2026.
The list is longer than most. Southern Hills buys houses, condos, duplexes, land and commercial property. It also buys mobile homes in single, double and triple wides, with or without land.
The situations vary just as much. It buys inherited and probate homes, and when several heirs share one, it can often make one offer to the whole group. Landlords don't have to clear the tenancy first when it buys a rental. Homeowners facing foreclosure, divorce, a move out of state, liens or a repair bill they can't cover are all on its list too. Its site even speaks to the tired landlord whose tenants damage the house and "fail to pay their rent when it is due."
The steps are short, and you can stop at any point. Here's the order most sales follow.
Closings usually land 7 to 21 days out, or the company can work to your schedule. If you need a few extra weeks to find your next place, you can ask for a later date. Kristen W. sold her parents' house while living in another state. She wrote, "All done from out of state, and closed in a week."
You don't fix anything first. The homepage says, "You are not expected to complete any repairs, renovations, upgrades, or deep cleaning." Southern Hills says it will handle the repair work itself once the sale has closed. That's the part of the job it gets paid for.
The same goes for what's left inside. Old furniture, boxes in the attic, a car that hasn't run in years and a garage full of tools can all stay where they are when you hand over the keys. "Take what you want and leave the rest," the site says. On one inherited home in Waxahachie, the company says it bought the place with every last thing in the garage included.
You won't pay a fee or a commission. The FAQ is direct: "There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us." The company also says it often pays the closing costs too. It doesn't promise to pay every closing cost on every sale, so check who pays what in your written offer.
The real cost is in the price. A cash buyer pays less than a retail buyer would, and Southern Hills says so in writing. Its inherited homes page reads, "The offer will be below retail." The offer depends on four things the company lists on its FAQ. Those are location, needed repairs, condition and what similar homes nearby sold for recently.
The site has a cash offer vs. realtor calculator if you'd like a rough idea first. It's honest that the tool "runs on averages." For a real number, the company looks at your house and sends a written offer.
The homepage is the Dallas page, and it names neighborhoods like Bishop Arts, Kessler Park, Winnetka Heights and Old East Dallas. Beyond the city, Southern Hills keeps pages for Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, Irving, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Richardson, Carrollton, Frisco, McKinney and Allen. The list keeps going south and west to DeSoto, Duncanville, Red Oak, Waxahachie, Mansfield, Burleson and Weatherford.
Southern Hills Home Buyers Dallas coverage doesn't stop at the metro line, either. The company has pages for Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Waco and Tyler, among other Texas cities. If your property sits somewhere in between, say a small town an hour or two from the nearest big city, it's worth a quick call to ask whether the company buys there.
The company reports more than 300 five-star Google reviews, and HomeLight lists the company's Google rating at 5.0. On the BBB, the profile shows 8 reviews with an average of 4.5. A few reviews point to the same themes, which are a fair offer and a simple process.
Henry Baker wrote about his Fort Worth home: "I was looking for a local company in Fort Worth to help me sell my house and came across Southern Hills Home Buyers. From the first conversation everything was simple and straightforward. They gave me a fair cash offer and made the whole process very easy."
It's a strong fit if your house needs work you can't fund, if a tenant still lives there, or if several family members share it. It also suits owners of mobile homes, land or duplexes who've had trouble finding a buyer. If your home is updated and you can wait months for a retail buyer, an agent may net you more, and that's worth weighing.
For most people searching Southern Hills Home Buyers Dallas, the next step is easy. Ask for a written offer, read it slowly, and compare it with your other choices. The Plano office phone is (214) 225-3042. There's no cost to ask, and no pressure to accept.
