We Find It. We Verify It. We Secure It. You Build It.
Houston is the #1 single-family construction market in the country — and demand for builder-ready residential lots has never been stronger. Whether you're a landowner who needs a fast, fair exit on a vacant lot or a builder looking for off-market infill in the Houston metro, Renello Property Group is your acquisition partner across Greater Houston.
The Market
Why Houston?
Houston leads the entire country in single-family home permits — and with rapid population growth driving demand across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties, that pace isn't slowing down. Inner-loop neighborhoods and suburban corridors alike are seeing intense builder activity, and the gap between lot supply and housing demand creates a massive infill opportunity for developers who can move fast.
The best builder lots in Houston are never listed — they're held by out-of-state owners, inherited landowners, and tax-delinquent sellers who simply want to close and move on. We find those vacant lots, verify their buildability, and deliver them off-market to our buyer network before they ever touch the MLS.
No auctions. No agents. No wasted time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Houston, TX — Your Questions Answered
For Sellers
What Houston-area cities and neighborhoods do you buy vacant lots in?
We buy vacant lots across all of Greater Houston — Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties. This includes inner-city neighborhoods like Sunnyside, Fifth Ward, Third Ward, Acres Homes, Kashmere Gardens, and Greenspoint, suburban corridors like Katy, Cypress, Pearland, Sugar Land, Rosenberg, and Richmond, and east/southeast Houston communities like Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, La Marque, and League City. If you have a vacant residential lot anywhere in the Greater Houston area and need to sell land fast, we want to hear about it.
What types of lots do you buy?
We focus on infill residential lots in established neighborhoods — vacant lots with homes on each side, cleared or lightly wooded, with utilities available and paved road access from the street. We also review lots in suburban and exurban areas if they meet builder demand in those corridors. If you're not sure your lot qualifies, submit it and we'll evaluate it free — no obligation.
How fast can you close?
Typically 2–3 weeks once we're under contract. Texas uses title companies for residential closings — no attorney requirement — which keeps the process clean and moving. If you need more time, we can work on your schedule. We handle all the paperwork; you just show up (or sign remotely) and collect your proceeds.
What if I have back taxes or a lien on the property?
Back taxes and most liens can be resolved at closing from the sale proceeds — you don't need to pay them upfront before we close. Delinquent taxes are common on vacant lots, especially inherited or long-held parcels. We've worked through these situations many times and will walk you through exactly how it gets handled. Just tell us about any known encumbrances upfront and we'll factor them into our evaluation.
For Builders
What Houston submarkets do you source infill lots in?
We cover all of Greater Houston with emphasis on inner-loop neighborhoods — Heights, EaDo, Near Northside, East End — plus southeast and southwest Houston corridors. In Harris County: Alief, Spring, Humble, and Pasadena. In Fort Bend County: Missouri City, Sugar Land, Stafford, and Rosenberg. In Montgomery County: Conroe and Spring. In Galveston County: League City and Friendswood. Tell us your target submarket and price range and we'll run acquisition campaigns focused on your buy box.
What lot sizes and specs do you typically source?
Infill lots in Houston's core neighborhoods typically run 5,000–7,500 sqft on 50-foot-wide lots — consistent with the city's historic platting patterns. Suburban lots range from 7,500–15,000 sqft depending on the corridor. All lots are screened for flat terrain, utilities at the street, paved road access, cleared condition, and correct residential zoning. We avoid flood-zone lots unless mitigation is already permitted and in place — Houston's flood exposure is real and we take it seriously on your behalf.
How are deals structured in Texas?
Texas is a title company closing state — no real estate attorney is required to close residential transactions. We can structure deals as assignment of contract or double-close depending on your preference and the specifics of the transaction. We'll confirm the structure with you before going under contract so there are no surprises at the closing table.
How quickly can you close once we identify a lot?
Once a lot is under contract and we've completed our due diligence, we can typically close in 10–21 days. Houston title companies are efficient and we work with a vetted title team that knows how to move. If you need a specific closing date or a longer review window, tell us when you submit your buy box and we'll structure accordingly.
