Skip repairs, contractors, and listing showings

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

A regular listing may mean lining up contractors, preparing the rooms, and arranging buyer showings. With a direct sale, you do not need to create a repair schedule or coordinate public listing showings before you ask us about the house.

Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court papers

There is not one signing answer for every divorce sale. Start with the recorded deed and any divorce judgment or court order that addresses the house. The title company checks those documents and the closing requirements to confirm whose signatures are needed. A Louisiana attorney can explain how the papers apply to your situation.

In East Baton Rouge Parish, the Clerk of Court's Recording Department is the local route for recorded-document questions. The Clerk also has Civil Suit Records for local court-record questions. Those offices help locate records; they do not decide who may sign for a specific sale.

You can begin talking with us while those records and court papers are being reviewed. You do not have to settle every disagreement about repairs, access, or timing before you call.

Bring us the problem before it is all settled

Different schedules, a disagreement about repairs, or a house that is hard to show? Tell us what is happening. You can call or use the form before every question between you is resolved.

Call 888-274-5006 or start with the property address in the form above.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

  3. 3. Confirm the documents and signatures

    The title company reviews the deed, court papers, and closing documents. Talk with your attorney about what any judgment or order means for the house; the title company confirms what is needed for closing.

  4. 4. Sign separately or from another location

    You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

    Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.

  5. 5. Review the closing figures

    When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items. The title company prepares the final figures for review.

East Baton Rouge Parish records and court resources

The Baton Rouge city place is in East Baton Rouge Parish. These offices can point you to local records and court information; a record lookup is not a decision about who may sign or what a court order requires for your property.

19th Judicial District Court

The Court identifies its jurisdiction as East Baton Rouge Parish and lists its courthouse at 300 North Boulevard, Baton Rouge. Use the Court's current information for local court and family-case questions.

East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor

The Assessor is the starting point for assessment-record questions. Assessment records are separate from the Clerk's recorded deed records and do not confirm who is authorized to sign a sale.

Closing costs and what remains separate

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. Review the written settlement figures with the title company.

Compare what you would keep

A sale price is not the same as the amount left after a mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, repairs, cleanout, and other costs. Use your own assumptions in the Baton Rouge home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare possible sale paths.
