How Can We Help?

Check out the answers to some of our most common questions.

Abodefy can only make touring arrangements on the properties that we own. If a property is currently owned by someone else, you will need to go through a real estate agent to tour that property.

Abodefy uniquely offers the option to Buy Online to buyers that are pre-approved for financing on all of the homes that we own. If you are interested in obtaining a financing pre-approval, we can help you with that here.

In your search, you may see homes that are not owned by Abodefy. We want to provide you with as many options as possible when shopping for your new home. So, we've integrated with the three primary MLS services in Texas: HAR, NTREIS, and SABOR. That means you can see all of the properties listed in Houston, North Texas, and San Antonio.

For more information regarding tours or purchase on homes not owned by Abodefy, you should reach out to the listing agent for that property or to your agent, if you are currently working with one.

You can if it is an Abodefy exclusive listing. We want to make the process as simple and friendly as possible so all Abodefy listings can be purchased online.

If you are pre-approved for financing within the range of the property sales price, you will see our Buy Now option.

If you have not completed an online pre-approval through Abodefy, you can start the process here.

If you would like to pay cash for the home you are shopping for, or if you are pre-approved with another lender, you can create a Buyer Profile and upload supporting documentation here. Once this documentation has been reviewed, the Buy Now option will become available on the Abodefy listings you view.

If the property you are viewing is listing by a real estate agent, you will need to contact that agent or your buyer agent to proceed with that purchase.

We love Realtors! Just please be sure to tell us when you apply for financing and when you review terms on your Buy Now option that you are working with a Realtor.

We want to make sure they are included on important communication throughout the process, so they can do what they do best and help you.

For Buyers Working with Realtors

Information for Realtors

We wish they could all be Abodefy homes because Abodefy homes truly are special.

First, you will notice that all Abodefy homes have been thoughtfully upgraded with features that focus on making the home as remarkable as you are. We add touches that aim to make your life easier and more enjoyable like: Window coverings, LED lighting, ceiling fans and garage door openers that will all work with your smart phone. All appliances in our properties are new and included in the sale.

Second, Abodefy homes are available to tour and purchase online. We want this process to be easy, quick, and convenient for you. All of our property tours are self-guided so you can view the property at a time that works best for you. Our purchases are also designed for your convenience with all "paperwork" in digital format. You will be able to review and sign everything in the privacy and comfort of the location of your choice. Now that is empowering!

If you are purchasing an Abodefy exclusive listing, we want to make the closing event just as amazing as your new home is. Because our closings are completed online, you can finalize your purchase anywhere you want, but we hope you will take the opportunity to do a final walk through of your new home with an Abodefy team member.

We want to show you how all of the systems in the house operate and verify that everything is up to your expectations. Our Abodefy team member would love to meet you at the property to take you through the house and to answer all of your questions regarding closing.

The best part of this is that once you complete your walk through and digitally sign all your closing documents, we get to be the first to welcome you in your new home!
