About
Licensed agent. Cash buyer. Both, on purpose.
J.D. Thorne buys houses across Dallas–Fort Worth with his own money, and he's a licensed Texas real estate sales agent who can list yours. That's why he can put cash, list and creative on the same sheet and mean all three.

Why both
Origin story — in J.D.'s words, J.D. supplies
Most cash buyers can't list your house, and most agents can't buy it. So whichever one you call, you get the one answer they're able to give. J.D. can give either, which leaves him no reason to push you toward one. He gets paid on every path.
The license is the other half of the point. It means there's a state regulator, a sponsoring broker, and a written disclosure behind every offer. You can look him up in under a minute, and you should.
When we're the buyer
The disclosure, before you have to ask.
When RESE is the buyer, J.D. Thorne — a Texas real estate license holder (No. 0705914, sponsored by Myers Home Buyers LLC) — is buying for his own account or through a company he controls, to repair and resell at a profit. He is the buyer in that deal, not your agent, and you'll get that in writing before any contract (22 TAC §535.144). If we bring in a partner buyer instead, we tell you that in writing too.
Protect yourself
What to ask any cash buyer, including us.
- Proof of funds with every cash offer. A bank statement or lender letter that matches the offer, not a promise to find the money.
- A TREC contract. The state's own promulgated form, not a two-page “purchase agreement” from a website.
- Meaningful earnest money, held by a title company. Real money at stake, not $10 that makes walking away free.
- No assignment clause unless it's disclosed in writing. If a buyer plans to sell your contract to someone else, Texas law requires them to say so. You should know before you sign.
- The buyer's role, in writing. When a license holder buys for their own account, they have to tell you before the contract. Ours is on this page.
- A closing date you chose. And, on our cash path, the option to stay after closing.
