A listing that sat for months, or a contract that died at inspection, usually means the same thing: the retail market has told you what it thinks of the house as it is. You can relist and fix what it flagged, or you can sell to someone who prices it as it sits.

Read the inspection report from the failed contract if you have it; it's a free list of what the next buyer will find. Ask your agent for an as-is price (what it would bring with nothing fixed) and a repaired price. Then price the repairs and the months of carrying costs. That's the real comparison against a cash offer.
If you're still under a listing agreement, read its terms; some include a protection period that applies to buyers the agent introduced. A direct buyer walks the house once, prices it with the inspection findings already priced in, and closes on your date. The number is below retail, and you avoid another cycle of showings, inspections and renegotiation.
Check your listing agreement first; your agent may be owed a commission or the agreement may need to end. Many agents will cooperate with a direct sale.
If the repairs are modest and you can carry the house, often yes. If they're roof-and-foundation money, a direct sale is usually the better net.
A walk-through, not a repair negotiation. Share the old report; it helps the offer be accurate.
You get a call within 24 hours, usually the same day. One local buyer looks at the property as it is and gives you a written offer with a closing date. No repairs, no showings, no commission, no fee to you, and no list of companies calling. Buyers in this network typically pay the closing costs; the written offer spells out exactly what they cover.

DFW Direct Home Offer is an independent referral service, not a home buyer, broker, or agent. We don't make offers, hold funds, or handle closings; any offer, contract, and closing are between you and the independent buyer we connect you with, through a title company you choose. That buyer may buy the property or assign the contract, and Texas law requires them to tell you which. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.
