Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs and obligations tied to the property. Repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the time you carry the house can all affect the comparison.
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.

Laurel seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Laurel house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
When will I get an offer, and can I read the terms first?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We provide the written offer and terms before you commit, and close through a title company.
Who pays deed recording fees and closing costs in Mississippi?
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds have recording fees, and the county chancery clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, 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 ask about an inherited house before every paper is gathered?
Yes. You can call with the question and the information you have. Before closing, the title review will need to confirm who can sign and which documents are needed for that property.
Can I ask about a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. Tell us whether the house is occupied and what you know about the lease, access, and timing so we can discuss the sale with those details in view.
