Houma, LA seller help · Divorce sale

You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Houma, Louisiana, and Terrebonne Parish. You can talk with us about a cash offer before every practical disagreement is settled. Who can sign and what is needed to close depend on the ownership records and any court order that applies.

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

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You do not have to settle every repair, contractor, showing, or timing question before you contact us.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

Skip repair, contractor, and showing coordination

With a direct as-is sale, you do not have to arrange repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout before selling to us. You can discuss the house in its current condition instead of starting with contractor estimates or a public listing schedule.

You do not have to line up contractors or organize listing showings just to start a conversation. Tell us what access is practical and what is making the next step hard.

Who can sign depends on ownership and any court order

Louisiana distinguishes community property from a spouse’s separate property. Some property connected to the community-property regime is shared, and property a spouse possesses while that regime is in effect is generally presumed to be community property. That presumption can be rebutted, so the deed and other records matter.

If the house is community real estate while the community-property regime is still in place, both spouses must agree in writing to sell it. A judgment of divorce ends that regime. Until former community property is divided through partition, co-ownership rules apply. The recorded ownership, divorce judgment, and any other court order affecting the house need to be considered together.

The title company reviews the property and closing documents to confirm which signatures are needed for this sale. A Louisiana family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or court order means for your situation. You can start a conversation with us while those details are being reviewed.

Bring us the problem before it is settled

If repairs, contractors, access, showings, timing, or communication are where things are getting stuck, tell us what is happening. You can ask about a sale before every practical disagreement is resolved; the property records and any court order still matter before closing.

What happens next

  1. 1. Tell us about the Houma house

    Share the address, condition, who lives there, and what makes a sale difficult. If you know how ownership is recorded or have a divorce judgment or court order about the house, mention it. Start with what you know.

  2. 2. Review a written offer and terms

    We review the house as-is. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. Confirm title and signing details

    The title company reviews the ownership records, any court papers that affect the property, and the closing requirements. Share a relevant divorce judgment or order with your attorney and the title company so they can explain what it means for this sale.

    Signing from different places

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

    Signing from another location

    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.

  4. 4. Review the settlement figures and close

    When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Review the settlement figures with the closing team.

Houma and Terrebonne Parish records and Louisiana guidance

The parish offices below provide starting points for property and court records. A recorded document is not a title decision; the closing team reviews the documents for this sale, and an attorney can explain how an order applies to your situation.

Terrebonne Parish Assessor and Sheriff’s Office Tax Notices

The Assessor lists its Government Tower contact number as 985-876-6620. Its site directs property-tax-payment questions to the Tax Collector’s Office at 985-857-0230. The Sheriff’s Office also provides property-tax payment FAQs. These offices can help with local account questions; this page does not state a particular property’s tax balance or status.

Louisiana Civil Code — community property and divorce

Article 2338 describes community property; Article 2340 sets a presumption that can be rebutted; and Article 2341 describes separate property.

Article 2347 covers a spouse’s written agreement to sell community real estate. Article 2356 explains when the community-property regime ends, and Article 2369.1 applies co-ownership rules to former community property until partition.

Compare what you may keep

A written price is not the same as what remains after a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other costs. Use your own assumptions in the Houma home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare possible sale paths.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Questions about selling a Houma house during divorce

Can we talk about selling before the divorce is final?

Yes. You can talk with us and request a written cash offer while you work through the divorce questions. Whether a sale can close depends on who owns the house, the signatures needed, and any court order that applies to it.

Who has to agree to sell the house?

Louisiana distinguishes community property from a spouse’s separate property. If the house is community real estate while the community-property regime is in effect, both spouses must agree in writing to sell it. A divorce judgment ends that regime; until former community property is divided, co-ownership rules apply. The title company reviews the property records and court papers to confirm the requirements for this closing, and a Louisiana attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.

What if a court order or disagreement involves the house?

Show the order to your attorney and the title company so they can explain what it means for this property and sale. You can talk with us about the house before every practical disagreement is settled.

Do we need to repair or clean the house first?

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

Can we 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.

What closing costs are separate from your promise to pay closing costs?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
