What are the ways to sell an as-is Meridian house?
List with an agent
A listing can put the house in front of buyers looking for a home. Compare the preparation you choose, showing access, the costs in your listing agreement, and the bills you expect to carry while the house is for sale.
Sell by owner
Selling without an agent puts marketing, buyer conversations, showings, price discussions, and coordination in your hands. Compare the time and any help you want to hire with the work and costs of a listing or direct offer.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
The table compares four choices side by side. For heavy repairs or a tight timeline, compare the direct Cash Offer. If the house does not need major repairs and you want a higher number, EZ Sale may also fit. You compare written numbers and choose what works for you.

A Meridian detail if the house has a code notice
The City of Meridian Code Enforcement Division describes inspections, notices, reinspections, and citations for property-maintenance concerns; it says fines or liens could result if a property is not brought into compliance. If you have a City notice, tell us about it when you describe the house. We can review the property in its current condition and talk through the notice with you. Read the City's Code Enforcement information.
Which costs and complications should you compare?
For a listing, compare repair or cleanout estimates, the preparation you choose, selling expenses under your agreement, and bills you expect to carry while the house is for sale. For a direct offer, compare its written price and terms with your payoff and other property costs. A higher headline price does not by itself tell you what you keep.
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees; the Lauderdale County Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. Read the Mississippi tax laws and regulations and the Lauderdale County Chancery Clerk information.
Use the Meridian home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare estimates with your own assumptions. For an inherited property or a property with liens, read the Meridian inherited-property options or Meridian property lien information.
