Facing Foreclosure in Corpus Christi? Beat the Nueces County Auction.
Nueces County foreclosure sales happen the first Tuesday of every month at the Corpus Christi courthouse. We're a local Coastal Bend cash buyer that closes before the sale.
The Situation
What You're Facing
Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state, which means lenders in Nueces County can take a home in as little as 41 days from the Notice of Default. By the time most Corpus Christi homeowners realize what's happening, they're already on the schedule for the first-Tuesday sale at the Nueces County Courthouse on N. Shoreline Boulevard. (For the full state-level walk-through, see our Texas foreclosure timeline guide.)
If you're behind on your mortgage on a property in Corpus Christi or the surrounding Nueces County area, you have more options to stop a Texas foreclosure than the bank is telling you. Loan modifications stall. Short sales take 90+ days. A cash sale to a local investor can close in a week — before the auction.
We're not a non-profit, we're not a referral service, and we're not selling you a course. South Texas Home Investors is a local cash buyer that closes on pre-foreclosure homes in Corpus Christi every single month.
Why People Sell
Why Corpus Christi Homeowners Choose to Sell
Stop the Auction
Closing before the next Nueces County first-Tuesday cancels the sale. Period.
Protect Their Credit
A foreclosure stays on credit for 7 years. A sale doesn't.
Walk Away with Equity
If you have equity, we pay you cash above the loan payoff at closing.
Avoid a Deficiency Judgment
Texas allows lenders to pursue the difference after foreclosure. Selling avoids it.
Move on Their Own Terms
Cash-for-keys and flexible move-out — not a constable at the door.
Keep It Private
Foreclosure notices are posted publicly at the Nueces County courthouse. A private sale stays private.
The Hard Parts
Challenges Homeowners Run Into
The Clock Is Brutal
Texas first-Tuesday sales happen monthly. Miss one and they reschedule for the next month.
Lenders Won't Pause
Loss-mit reps string you along while the foreclosure department moves forward separately.
Listing Takes Too Long
Average Corpus Christi days-on-market doesn't fit inside a foreclosure timeline.
Repairs You Can't Afford
Retail buyers want move-in ready. You're worried about the gas getting shut off.
Second Liens & HELOCs
These have to be paid off too. We handle the full payoff stack at closing.
Back Property Taxes
Many pre-foreclosure homes also owe back taxes. The title company resolves both.

Local Knowledge · Corpus Christi & Surrounding Areas
We Know the Neighborhoods You Live In
Nueces County foreclosure sales are held the first Tuesday of every month on the steps of the Nueces County Courthouse on N. Shoreline Boulevard, overlooking Corpus Christi Bay. San Patricio County sales happen in Sinton; Aransas County sales in Rockport.
Corpus Christi Neighborhoods We Serve
We've stopped foreclosures across Corpus — Southside (Calallen, Annaville, Wood River), the historic neighborhoods around Six Points (Bay Area, Lindale), the island (Padre Isles, Mustang Island), the beach communities of Port Aransas and Rockport, and the inland suburbs of Portland, Ingleside, and Robstown.
County Coverage
We serve Nueces County (Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Robstown), San Patricio County (Portland, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Sinton), and Aransas County (Rockport, Fulton). Each county runs its own first-Tuesday sale.
Local Property Values
Corpus Christi pre-foreclosure inventory ranges from $90k bay-area bungalows to $700k+ canal-front homes on Padre Island and the Rockport waterfront. Hurricane and flood damage from Harvey (2017) and subsequent storms still affects market value on a lot of inventory.
Military Homeowners
Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, NAS Kingsville (45 minutes south), and the Coast Guard Air Station at the airport make this a heavy military town. PCS reassignments, deployments, and medical retirements push a lot of service members into foreclosure timelines we can solve in a single closing cycle.
Inherited & Older Homes
A lot of Corpus pre-foreclosure homes are older 1950s–1970s ranch homes near the bay that adult kids inherited and can't keep up — salt-air corrosion, hurricane shutters, raised foundations, and aging electrical add up. We buy as-is and close.
Local Market Conditions
Energy-sector layoffs (refineries, LNG), hurricane risk, and rising property insurance have softened the Coastal Bend market. Days-on-market in Corpus and the island routinely run past 90 days, which means a foreclosure sale will beat a retail listing almost every time.
Service Area
Coverage includes all of Corpus Christi (Southside, Westside, Calallen, Flour Bluff, Padre Island), Port Aransas, Rockport-Fulton, Portland, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Robstown, and Kingsville.
“Our Padre Island place had hurricane damage and back insurance issues — no retail buyer would touch it. They closed in 12 days, paid off the loan, and we kept our credit clean.”
— Carla M., Padre Isles, Corpus Christi
