Helping Texas & Florida homeowners since 2024

Take a breath. You're not out of options.

Most homeowners have more options than they realize — and the earlier you understand them, the more freedom you have to choose.

Whether that means selling, exploring a creative solution, or finding a way to keep your home, we'll help you see the full picture, then act on it. No judgment. No pressure. No hard sell.

We help homeowners who are:
Facing foreclosure or behind on payments
Going through divorce or separation
Dealing with an inherited property or probate
Facing job loss or a sudden change
Holding a home that needs more work than they can manage
Simply unsure of their options and want honest answers
How we help

Solutions matched to your situation — not one rigid offer.

We're solutions-focused, not transaction-focused. Rather than pushing a single deal, we start with your circumstances and work forward from there.

01

Sometimes, you keep the home

Selling isn't always the right move, and we'll say so when it isn't. We've helped homeowners stop foreclosure and stay put by pointing them to the right resources.

02

Creative solutions

When a cash sale isn't the best fit, we work with flexible options — such as subject-to, wraps, and equity partnerships — built around your circumstances.

03

Sell fast, as-is

A fair cash offer and a close on your timeline. No repairs, no agent fees, no showings — a clean exit and a fresh start.

Our story

Real founders who pick up the phone.

BrightHarbor was founded by Chad Freeman and Jennifer Szymankowski — a local Dallas–Fort Worth team who have spent years helping homeowners work through foreclosure and other distressed situations.

We're a small, local company — not a national call center or a faceless “we buy houses” sign on the side of the road. We pick up the phone, learn each homeowner's story, and give straight answers.

Multiple paths matched to your situation.

We move at your pace, not ours.
