Selling choices
Compare the work and what you may keep
Listing or selling on your own
A listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you can manage preparation and waiting. Price repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, insurance, utilities, taxes, mortgage payments, and the time you may carry the house.
Compare the likely amount left after the costs and work for each route—not only the first number you see. If someone lives in the house, include the lease, access, and possession plan in the comparison.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Alexandria market context
Use market measures as context, not a price for your address
Read each measure with its source, geography, and reporting period. Your house has its own condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title, payoff, and timing.
Local property context
Check the address before relying on a historic-district label
The City Historic Preservation Commission identifies Original Town, West End, and Alexandria Garden District. Its descriptions include late-nineteenth-century brick storefronts in Original Town and Garden District residences dating from 1905–1950. Those are district-level descriptions; a map label does not establish a particular house’s inclusion, age, or condition. Check the exact address with the City before relying on a district name.
Deadlines and closing costs
Check the sale date, deed fee, and settlement costs
Louisiana deed-recording fee
The parish clerk charges to record the deed. The basic statutory fee is $100 for a document of one to five pages; longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. The title and settlement costs also depend on the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Mortgage foreclosure and a sheriff’s sale
Often, yes, if you close before the sheriff's sale and the closing pays the debts and charges needed to clear the title. Louisiana mortgage foreclosures use a court proceeding, either ordinary process or executory process. The lender's payoff can include interest, attorney fees and court costs as well as the loan balance. The sheriff must serve you a notice of seizure (La. R.S. 13:3852). If a sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

If the house is inherited or occupied by tenants, confirm the signing authority and possession plan that apply to the property. See the local inherited-property page or tenant-occupied property page.

Questions about selling in Alexandria
Can I sell an Alexandria house as-is?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Alexandria and Rapides Parish, Louisiana. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How should I compare a direct sale with listing?
Compare the written sale price and terms with repair and cleanout estimates, listing preparation, commissions, concessions, inspection work, carrying costs, timing, and occupancy. Compare what you would keep, not only the asking price.
Can I sell my Louisiana house while it is in foreclosure?
Often, yes, if you close before the sheriff's sale and the closing pays the debts and charges needed to clear the title. Louisiana mortgage foreclosures use a court proceeding, either ordinary process or executory process. The lender's payoff can include interest, attorney fees and court costs as well as the loan balance. The sheriff must serve you a notice of seizure (La. R.S. 13:3852). If a sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
What does deed recording cost in Louisiana?
The basic statutory fee is $100 for a deed document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges.
Does a historic-district name establish that my house is in the district?
No. The City Historic Preservation Commission identifies Original Town, West End, and Alexandria Garden District, but a district label does not establish that a particular property is included or its age or condition. Check the exact address against the City maps.
What if tenants live in the house?
Include who lives there, any lease, access, and the possession plan in your comparison. The tenant-occupied property page has more local information for that situation.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Any location shown with a review is that seller’s location, not a claim that the sale happened in Alexandria.
