The short answer
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, and close through a title company. Compare the written numbers with the time and costs of preparing and listing the actual house.
Selling choices
Start with the property as it sits. You can compare written price and terms without first repairing, cleaning, or clearing out the house. Put the payoff, recorded liens, back taxes, occupancy, title questions, and your share of current property taxes beside the number you are comparing.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
A listing may fit when you can prepare the house, allow showings, respond to inspection and financing steps, and carry its costs while it is for sale. Compare a realistic sale price after repairs, cleanout, commissions, concessions, insurance, utilities, taxes, mortgage payments, and time—not only the asking price.
The Cash Offer is a direct purchase; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. Compare the written terms and what you may keep with a listing plan before choosing.
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.

Market context and planning
Use the editable Hammond home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare a listing plan with an as-is sale using your own assumptions. The estimate is not a property-specific offer.
Local property context
Hammond is in Tangipahoa Parish. Downtown labels and nearby place names help with orientation, but the address and property records answer parcel-specific questions.
Hammond’s Historic District site publishes separate maps for the local Historic, National Register, Cultural, and Downtown Development districts. Their coverage is not interchangeable. The Historic District Commission reviews plans for work within the local historic district, so check the actual address against the applicable map before planning work. A district label does not establish a home’s age, designation, or condition.
The city-linked Zemurray Park Master Plan places the park near downtown and describes residential land uses along its north, west, and south edges. That is neighborhood orientation, not a statement about an individual house or its flood, repair, or value history.
Ownership, deadlines, and settlement
A title company checks ownership records, payoff information, settlement items, documents, and funds. The written terms should identify the price, responsibilities, possession plan, and timing before you commit.
The Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Court Civil Department handles successions. That is a local filing and contact route; the house location alone does not decide court venue or who has authority to sign. Gather the deed and succession papers and ask the title company to identify the required signers for this property. If authority is unclear or disputed, ask a Louisiana attorney.
Often, you can sell if you close before the sheriff’s sale and the closing pays the debts and charges needed to clear title. Louisiana mortgage foreclosures use a court proceeding, either ordinary process or executory process. A lender payoff may include interest, attorney fees, and court costs as well as the loan balance. The sheriff must serve a notice of seizure under 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. The actual notice and sale date still matter; signing an agreement by itself does not change the deadline.

The Clerk of Court’s Conveyance/Mortgage Department indexes recorded documents. Its online land-record index is not address-searchable; the Clerk directs address-based property lookup to the Assessor’s site. The Assessor handles assessment questions, while the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff collects property taxes. Check a specific parcel’s balance or exemption with the responsible office.

The parish Clerk charges to record a 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. 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 your share of current property taxes remain separate. The title company confirms the settlement figures for the transaction.
Where to find help
Hammond’s Building Department provides the city permit route and lists Code Enforcement contact and complaint information. Historic-district review is a separate mapped question for work within the local district. Confirm the address and ask the City about any notice, open permit, or current requirement for the property.

Tangipahoa Parish Housing Office information describes inspections against HUD Housing Quality Standards for units rented to Housing Choice Voucher participants. That is program-specific information, not a general Hammond rental or home-sale inspection rule.
