Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing can put your house in front of retail buyers. Compare preparation, repairs, access for showings, commissions or other listing costs, carrying bills, and the time you expect to spend before closing. The useful comparison is what remains after the costs and payoff, not only the asking price.

Sell directly as-is

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Compare the written price and terms with the preparation, costs, and time a listing would take for your house.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

Compare the written terms for the direct Cash Offer and partner EZ Sale with a listing plan. The right choice depends on the house and the timing and work you want to weigh.

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.

Useful local facts

Picayune maps and property questions

Picayune zoning categories

The City's zoning map includes single-family, two-family, multifamily, and medium-density residential categories, as well as a mobile-home-park category. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Permits and local property maps

Picayune directs city building-permit questions to its Building Inspector. The City publishes a council-district map of Picayune limits and separate zoning, land-use, annexation, and flood maps; Pearl River County has its own Planning & Building and floodplain information. For a permit or code question, the property address matters because City and County offices serve different areas; we can still discuss the house as it stands.

Closing questions

Signing authority, costs, occupancy, and deadlines

Who can sign for an inherited house?

An heir cannot sign for the estate just by being an heir. An executor may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will grants authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. The will, appointment, court order, and title determine who may convey.

Mississippi estate law, Title 91 Chapter 7 · Pearl River County Chancery Court

What about deed fees and closing costs?

Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds have recording fees, and Pearl River County's 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 are separate.

What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?

Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed nonjudicially under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-1-55. Notice is posted at the courthouse and published for three consecutive weeks; the sale is held at the courthouse door. After a completed nonjudicial sale under this section, there is no right of redemption. Check the deed of trust, notice, and sale date promptly.

Pearl River County's delinquent-tax sale is a different process with its own notice and dates; a mortgage-foreclosure request does not change a tax-sale deadline.

Can a tenant stay during a sale?

A sale does not by itself cancel a tenant's lease or make the home vacant. The lease and Mississippi law affect notice, possession, and the landlord-tenant relationship. We can discuss the property while it is occupied and include the lease and possession terms in the sale conversation.

Questions about selling a house in Picayune

Can I sell an as-is house in Picayune?

How do Cash Offer and EZ Sale differ?

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.

Who can sign for an inherited Mississippi house?

An heir cannot sign for the estate just by being an heir. An executor may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will grants authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. The will, appointment, court order, and title determine who may convey.

Does Mississippi charge a real-estate transfer tax?

Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds are subject to recording fees, not a state transfer tax. The 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 are separate.

What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?

Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed nonjudicially under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-1-55. The trustee must post notice at the courthouse and publish it for three consecutive weeks; the sale is held at the courthouse door. After a completed nonjudicial sale under this section, there is no right of redemption. Check the deed of trust, notice, and sale date promptly.

Can I sell while a tenant still lives in the house?

A sale does not by itself cancel a tenant’s lease or make the home vacant. The written lease and Mississippi law govern notices, possession, and the landlord-tenant relationship. We can discuss the property while it is occupied and include the lease and possession terms in the sale conversation.
