What Makes Us Different
The PREAM Home Buyers Difference
Four reasons homeowners throughout Dallas–Fort Worth select PREAM over traditional listing or national iBuyers.
1 Close in as Few as 14 Days — or On Your Timeline
Every day your property remains listed costs you money. The typical Texas home now requires ~77 days from listing to closing. We can close in just 14 days — or whatever schedule suits your needs. No lenders. No delays.
2 Sell Exactly As-Is — No Repairs, No Showings
We purchase properties in any condition throughout Texas. No staging, no open houses, no preparing for buyer after buyer. Traditional listings typically need 10–25 showings. With PREAM, we only require one visit.
3 Zero Closing Fees — We Handle Everything
Seller closing costs average 1.81% of the sale price, excluding commissions. We cover 100% of those expenses. What we offer is precisely what you receive, minus any outstanding mortgage balance or liens. No surprises at closing.
4 Local Knowledge — Not a National iBuyer
National iBuyers rely on automated algorithms and can charge 7.5–11.5% in fees. PREAM understands the DFW market intimately and works with you personally to create an offer that fits your unique circumstances.
Why iBuyers are risky for Dallas homeowners

* An inspection contingency gives the buyer the right to renegotiate or walk away after a home inspection. A financing contingency allows the buyer to exit the deal if they can’t secure a mortgage or if the home doesn’t appraise at the required loan value. At PREAM Home Buyers, we buy homes with cash — no bank financing, no appraisal requirements, and no risk of the deal falling through due to lender complications.
