Net proceeds are what remain after the sale price and the costs tied to your situation. Compare the written sale terms with the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, and carrying costs you might take on with another sale path. The actual amounts depend on the property and the closing details.

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. Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. EZ Sale — goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The offer timing is not a property-specific closing date; closing timing depends on the title, payoff, signing authority, and other details for the house.

The Tangipahoa 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 share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if you can 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 can include the loan balance, interest, attorney fees, and court costs, and the sheriff must serve a notice of seizure. 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 sale date and legal deadlines still matter.

Start with the Hammond address, what you know about the condition and occupancy, and the question or deadline in front of you. A deed, notice, lease, payoff statement, or estate paper may help with the next step, but you do not need a complete file to ask a question.
