About us
People who buy houses — and try to make a hard moment a little easier
Lucky Duck Home Buyers helps homeowners dealing with difficult property situations figure out their next step. Sometimes that means buying the house as-is. Sometimes it just means an honest conversation.
What we do
We work with people who need to sell a property that doesn’t fit the usual listing process — because of its condition, a deadline, an inheritance, or just life. We review the property and the situation, talk through the options honestly, and make a no-obligation offer when a direct sale is a good fit.
Lucky Duck Home Buyers is the public brand for this work, operated by NTAG — a home-buying company that’s been helping homeowners since 2016. We’re not a real estate brokerage and not a law firm. We work with homeowners across a growing set of markets, and we’re continuing to expand.
How we try to operate
A few things we hold ourselves to
- 01
Plain English
We explain things the way we’d want them explained to us — no jargon, no fine-print games.
- 02
No pressure
We’re not interested in talking anyone into a decision. Our job is to lay out the options clearly.
- 03
Honest about limits
We’re not agents or attorneys. When something’s outside what we do, we’ll tell you and point you in the right direction.
- 04
We do what we say
Clear communication and follow-through. If we commit to something, we follow up.
The people
Who you’ll talk to
When you’re dealing with a stressful property situation, it helps to know who’s on the other end. Here’s the team.
Beau Gumbert
Founder
Beau founded NTAG in 2016 after more than a decade in real estate, and was named one of Fort Worth’s “40 Under 40” in 2021. He’s known for treating homeowners like neighbors, not transactions — and there’s a good chance you’ll talk with him directly.
Hayden Lane
Offers & Acquisitions
Hayden looks at the property and the numbers and puts together honest, no-pressure offers. He’ll tell you straight whether selling actually makes sense for you — and he won’t push you toward a sale you don’t need.
Christian Mockabee
Homeowner Liaison
Christian is often the first person you’ll reach. He listens to what you’re dealing with, answers questions in plain language, and helps you figure out the next step at your own pace.
Jack Wotta
Head of Title & Dispositions
Jack makes sure the paperwork side of a sale is clean and the closing actually goes smoothly. If there’s a lien, a question about who’s on the deed, or anything cloudy about the title, he sorts it out early so there are no surprises at the table.
John Paul Coomer
Partnership Director
John Paul builds the relationships that let us help more homeowners — agents, attorneys, and local partners who point people our way when a direct sale makes sense. If we’re not the right fit for your situation, there’s a good chance he knows who is.
Patrick McCormick
Director of Software & Technology
Patrick keeps the behind-the-scenes tools running so the rest of the team can focus on people instead of paperwork. He’s the reason your information stays organized and your questions don’t fall through the cracks.
Greg Dean
Homeowner Advocate
Greg works with homeowners who are facing a foreclosure timeline and aren’t sure what their options are. He’ll walk through what a direct sale could look like and help you understand the choices in front of you — calmly, and without pressure.
Chris Cortez
Homeowner Advocate
Chris is often a first point of contact for homeowners dealing with a notice or a looming deadline. He listens first, explains things in plain language, and helps you figure out a next step that fits your situation.
Harper Lynn
Head of Human Resources
Harper oversees morale, enforces mandatory walk breaks, and greets everyone at the door. Officially Head of Human Resources — unofficially, the reason the office never misses lunch.
A few honest things up front
- We’re not a law firm and we don’t give legal advice. For legal questions, talk to a qualified attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor.
- There’s no obligation. If we make an offer, you’re free to say no. Reaching out doesn’t commit you to selling.
- We don’t guarantee outcomes. We can review your property and situation and talk through whether selling is a practical option — that’s it.
