Our Story: Deep Roots in Longview, Texas
Living in Longview Since 1982
Tom, the founder of 903 For Cash, moved to Longview in 1982. Over the past 40+ years, he’s watched this community grow, evolve, and face both prosperous times and challenging periods. This deep connection to East Texas isn’t just business—it’s personal.
When you work with us, you’re working with someone who:
- Knows the neighborhoods of Longview intimately
- Understands the local economy and market dynamics
- Has relationships with local title companies, attorneys, and contractors
- Cares about the community and its residents
- Sees every transaction as a relationship, not just a deal
Full-Time House Buying Since 2012
What started as a way to help struggling homeowners during the 2008-2012 recession has grown into a full-time business dedicated to providing real estate solutions throughout Gregg County and East Texas.
Since 2012, we’ve:
- ✅ Purchased over 60 homes in Longview and surrounding areas
- ✅ Helped families avoid foreclosure and protect their credit
- ✅ Assisted executors and heirs with inherited properties
- ✅ Provided quick exits for divorced couples needing to divide assets
- ✅ Bought houses with major repair needs, saving sellers tens of thousands
- ✅ Closed deals in as little as 7 days when urgency demanded it
- ✅ Built a reputation for honesty, transparency, and fair dealing
A Family Business, Not a Franchise
Unlike national home buying chains or franchise operations, we’re a locally-owned, family-operated business. This means:
Decision-Making Happens Locally: No corporate approvals or waiting for out-of-state managers. We make offers and decisions right here in Longview.
Personal Service: When you call, you talk to Tom or someone on our small, dedicated team—not a call center or sales department.
Community Investment: The money we invest in buying and renovating homes stays in the local economy, supporting Longview contractors, businesses, and workers.
Long-Term Relationships: We’re not flipping properties and moving to the next market. We’re here for the long haul, and our reputation in the community matters.
Our Values: How We Do Business
1. Transparency Above All
We believe in complete honesty about how we calculate offers, what the process involves, and what you can expect at every step. We’ll show you the comparable sales data, explain our repair estimates, and answer every question you have.
No Hidden Fees: We never charge fees or commissions to buy your house.
No Surprises: The offer we make is the offer you get—no last-minute reductions.
No Pressure: Take your time to decide. Shop our offer around. We’ll never pressure you.
2. Win-Win Solutions
We’re only interested in deals that work for both parties. If selling to us isn’t the best solution for your situation, we’ll tell you honestly and point you toward better options.
Fair Offers: We price our offers based on current market data and actual repair costs.
Flexible Terms: We work on your timeline and can accommodate special needs.
Problem-Solving: We look for creative solutions to complex situations.
3. Community First
We see ourselves as community problem-solvers, not just house buyers. Every family we help strengthens the Longview community we love.
Local Impact: Over 60 families have moved forward with their lives because we provided a fast, fair exit from burdensome properties.
Economic Support: We invest hundreds of thousands annually in local contractors, workers, and businesses.
Neighborhood Improvement: The homes we buy and renovate become beautiful properties that enhance East Texas neighborhoods.
4. Professionalism and Integrity
We conduct every transaction with the highest ethical standards and work with licensed title companies and attorneys to ensure everything is done correctly.
Licensed & Insured: We operate legally and ethically in all our dealings.
Professional Network: We work with reputable title companies, attorneys, and contractors.
Confidentiality: Your situation and personal information remain private.
Accountability: We do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it.

— Tim, Attorney and Investor
“Our power was off and we got to a point to where we had no way to pay bills. I had to sell fast so I could move on with my life. We closed fast and he even let me stay after closing so I could use the money from the sale to find my next place. Very smooth process and my house is sold!”

— Jimmy, Homeowner

vs. Wholesalers
Wholesalers:

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Company
Q: Are you a legitimate business or a scam?
A: We’re a legitimate, locally-owned business that has operated in Longview since 2012. We work with licensed title companies and attorneys, maintain proper business licenses and insurance, and have a track record of 60+ successful closings. We encourage you to verify our credentials, read testimonials, and check us out before working with us.
Q: Why do you buy houses below market value?
A: We buy houses as-is, pay all cash, close quickly, and cover closing costs. After we purchase, we invest in repairs (often $10,000-$50,000+), pay holding costs during renovation, and eventually resell or rent. Our offers reflect these costs plus the risk we’re taking. While the offer may be lower than retail, when you factor in what you save on commissions, repairs, and holding costs, many sellers net similar amounts—plus close 75+ days faster with zero hassle.
Q: How do I know you’ll actually close?
A: We pay with our own cash—no bank financing or contingencies. Once you accept our offer, the closing is guaranteed. We’ve never failed to close on an accepted offer in over 60 transactions.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: Primarily Longview and East Texas, including Tyler, Marshall, Kilgore, Gladewater, and surrounding areas. We’ll travel to any property in the region. Call to confirm we service your area.
Q: Do you only buy distressed properties?
A: No. While we specialize in helping homeowners with problem properties, we also buy houses in excellent condition when sellers need speed and convenience over maximum price.
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
A: Yes, we operate with all proper licensing and insurance. We work with licensed title companies and attorneys on every transaction.
Q: Can I trust you with my personal information?
A: Absolutely. We take privacy seriously and never share or sell your information. Everything is confidential.
