Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs and balances tied to the house. Compare repairs, selling costs, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes—not just the headline price.
Zillow's typical home value is a modeled measure, separate from completed-sale prices and not a value for your address: $290,170 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Las Cruces, NM).
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Las Cruces seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Las Cruces house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with the condition the house is in now.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get written offer terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
What would I keep from a cash sale?
There is no one net number for every house. What you keep depends on the written sale price and the costs and balances tied to the property. Compare possible net proceeds after repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes—not just the headline price.
What does recording a sale cost in New Mexico?
A New Mexico county clerk generally charges $25 to record a document with up to ten index entries, plus another $25 for each additional block of up to ten entries. That is a recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
Can I sell my New Mexico house if a foreclosure sale is scheduled?
You may still be able to sell before the foreclosure sale if the closing pays the mortgage and resolves the other claims against the house. New Mexico foreclosures go through district court. The sale date matters: a court-ordered sale can change what you own and how much time remains. New Mexico has a separate right to redeem after a judicial sale, but a mortgage can shorten that period substantially. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Can I start a conversation about an inherited house before every paper is ready?
Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the question on your mind. You do not need every estate paper in hand to ask about a sale; the title company reviews title and closing requirements before a sale is completed.
Can I ask about a house with a tenant still living there?
Yes. Call with the address, whether the house is occupied, and any lease or timing information you have. Occupancy is part of the property-specific review, so share the details you know when comparing written terms.
Do I need every document ready before I call?
No. You can call before everything is gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing or question on your mind. A deed, notice, payoff statement, lease, or probate paper may help answer a follow-up question, but you do not have to wait until every paper is together.

Local help
Which Doña Ana County office handles a property-record question?
For recorded deeds and public records, start with the Doña Ana County Clerk. The Assessor handles real-property search and assessment questions; the Treasurer handles property-tax search and collection. The County Clerk also serves as Clerk of the Probate Court. The county lists these offices at 845 N. Motel Blvd. in Las Cruces; confirm the right office for the paper or account you have.
