The Richardson market
What we see in Richardson
Richardson is one of our most active North Dallas submarkets, and the reason is structural: most of the houses we buy here were built between 1960 and 1985 — the original Telecom Corridor build-out around Texas Instruments, 3M, Cisco, and Verizon — and that housing stock is now hitting end-of-life on its first-generation plumbing. Slab leaks, copper pinhole failures, and the resulting mold remediation expense (commonly $15K-$40K) are the single most frequent reason Richardson sellers call Diamond rather than list with an agent.
The pattern repeats. A seller in Cottonwood Heights, Canyon Creek, or J.J. Pearce has a slab leak. The plumber jackhammers the foundation. The drywall comes out. The remediation company finds Stachybotrys behind the baseboards. The retail buyer's FHA appraiser flags it. The contract dies. The seller calls us. We have closed on Richardson houses in exactly that situation across 75080 and 75081 — the ZIPs where the original Telecom Corridor housing concentrates — and we price the remediation in at our internal cost rather than at the retail-investor markup other cash buyers use.
Beyond water and mold, we see two other recurring Richardson situations: out-of-state owners of homes formerly occupied by TI, Cisco, or Verizon employees who relocated with their company, and probate sellers handling a Cottonwood Heights ranch where a parent passed in-house and decades of deferred maintenance finally surfaced. We close in Dallas-based title companies (or Collin County title companies for the small slice of Richardson north of the line), and we don't require you to repair anything before closing.

Richardson FAQ
Common questions from Richardson sellers
Will you buy a Richardson house with active water damage or mold?
Yes — water damage and mold are the most common reason Richardson sellers call us. We have closed on houses in 75080, 75081, and 75082 with active slab leaks, prior mold remediation that didn't finish, and ceilings stained from upstairs supply-line failures. We price the remediation in at our cost so you don't pay the retail-buyer renegotiation tax after their inspection.
My Richardson house has original 1970s plumbing — does that disqualify it?
No. A lot of the Telecom Corridor housing stock we buy still has the original copper or galvanized supply lines from when the neighborhood was built. We expect a full repipe as part of our rehab budget; we don't need you to fix it first.
How long has Diamond been closing deals in Richardson?
Richardson is one of our most active North Dallas submarkets — we work 75080 and 75081 heavily (Cottonwood Heights, Canyon Creek, Heights Park, J.J. Pearce). Mid-century single-family on Dallas County clay soil is our deepest competency, and Richardson sits squarely in that wheelhouse.
Do you only buy in the Dallas County side of Richardson, or also the Collin County side?
Both. Richardson straddles the Dallas / Collin county line; we buy on either side. The closing process is the same — we just use a title company licensed in the relevant county.
