I built this for the sellers the rest of the market forgot about.
I'm Bob Gallaher. I'm a Texan. I buy mobile homes anywhere in the country and houses across East Texas, and I do it with one goal: make the sale itself simple, fair, and respectful.
Why I started buying houses for cash.
I've lived in Texas most of my life. Over the years I've watched too many good people get stuck with a property they didn't want and couldn't easily sell. A mobile home a mother left behind in a park outside Tyler. A rental in Longview that a tenant trashed. A house in Palestine that two siblings inherited and couldn't agree on. The traditional path, list with a realtor, fix everything up, hold open houses, wait three months for a buyer, doesn't work for any of those situations. They needed someone to just buy the property. So I started doing that.
What I saw before I started this company was sellers getting taken advantage of. Out-of-state cash buyers showing up with lowball offers and contracts full of escape clauses. National franchises that automate everything from a call center two states away. Investors who'd renegotiate the price down at the closing table after the seller had already mentally moved on. The whole cash-buyer world had earned a bad reputation, and most of that reputation was deserved.
Bob Buys Homes Fast does it differently because it's small, local, and mine. I pull comps myself. I make the offer myself. The number I tell you on day one is the number you see at the closing table. I close at Texas title companies you've heard of, in towns you can drive to. And when you call, you talk to me, or to my wife Glenda who helps me keep up with sellers when I'm in the field. The phone rings, and I answer.

Meet Glenda.
My wife Glenda keeps me organized. She's the one who replies to emails when I'm driving between counties, texts back the sellers I missed during a closing, and keeps the calendar from becoming a disaster. If you reach out after hours, there's a good chance the first message back is from her. She's been the quiet half of every good decision I've made for a long time.
What I stand for.
Three things that don't change, regardless of the deal size or the seller's situation.
Honest offers
The cash offer you get is the cash offer you sign. I don't bait you with a high number and renegotiate after inspection. If the math doesn't work, I'll tell you up front and save us both the trouble.
Respect for the situation
Inheritance. Divorce. Foreclosure. A rental that wore you out. A mobile home in a park that needs to move yesterday. I've heard it. I treat it like what it is, your life, not a transaction.
Local accountability
I'm based in East Texas. You can look me up. You can call and reach a human. There's no national call center, no shell company, no out-of-state escrow routing your closing check through three states.
What you actually get when you call me.
A real person, every call
No phone trees, no offshore call center. You reach me, or Glenda, usually within an hour during the workday. I answer on the road. She answers from the desk. One of us gets back to you the same day.
Written offers, in 24 hours
Every offer comes in writing the next business day. You see the number, the closing date, and the terms before you ever say yes. Nothing verbal, nothing vague.
Mobile homes welcomed
Most cash buyers won't touch a mobile home. I specialize in them. Single-wide, double-wide, on your land or in a park, anywhere in the country. Including the older units from the 70s and 80s that banks won't finance anymore.
Closings at Texas title companies
I use title companies you've heard of, in Tyler or Longview or wherever is closest to you. Your check comes from a real escrow account. The deed transfer is recorded right there in the county.

Owner, Bob Buys Homes Fast
East Texas
I built Bob Buys Homes Fast from my home base in East Texas to give mobile-home sellers anywhere in the country, and single-family sellers across Smith and the surrounding counties, a cash buyer they can actually trust. When I'm not on the phone with a seller, I'm driving Smith, Van Zandt, Wood, Gregg, Henderson, Anderson, and Upshur counties looking at properties. I work hard to earn the call, and harder to earn the close.
Who I run with.
I'm part of a small peer group of cash buyers across the country who share deals, share sellers, and keep each other honest. That's how I can buy mobile homes anywhere in the U.S. when the property is too far for me to drive. If a home is in California or Florida, I'll still make the offer, close the file, and coordinate a buyer in my network who operates in your state. You get one point of contact, me, and a fair cash offer on your timeline.
