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.

The parish clerk charges to record the 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 close before the sheriff's sale and the closing pays the debts and charges needed to clear the title. Louisiana mortgage foreclosures use a court proceeding, either ordinary process or executory process. The lender's payoff can include interest, attorney fees and court costs as well as the loan balance. The sheriff must serve you 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.
