Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the sale costs and property obligations that apply to your house. Compare the written price after mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other sale costs—not only the headline price.
The calculator lets you compare possible listing and cash-sale net proceeds with editable assumptions. Use the numbers that fit your house, then review the written terms for each option.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
The two programs have different buyers, timelines, and price terms. Compare the written numbers and responsibilities with what you would keep under each path.
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.

Useful questions about selling in Paragould
Can I sell my Paragould house as-is, even if it needs work?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can ask about the house before taking on repairs or clearing it out. Tell us what you know about its condition, access, occupancy, and timing.
How quickly can I get an offer, and how long can a sale take?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The Cash Offer program is listed at 30 days or less; EZ Sale is listed at 60 days or less. Review the written terms for the program you are considering.
Who pays closing costs and the Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax. Arkansas DFA says the tax is $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration for transactions exceeding $100. The settlement agent confirms the applicable instrument, consideration, exemption, and any local charges. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can a sale happen while mortgage foreclosure is pending in Arkansas?
The foreclosure route determines which notices and deadlines apply. Arkansas permits nonjudicial sales under its Statutory Foreclosure Act; before a sale, the trustee or lender must record the required notice of default, provide and publish required notices, and wait through the statutory minimum notice period. A judicial foreclosure follows a court case and can carry a post-sale redemption right unless it was validly waived. Check the docket, deed of trust, notices, and any waiver to identify which process applies.
Can an inherited Paragould house be sold before the estate is closed?
It may be possible. An Arkansas personal representative may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will grants a power of sale. Without that authority, the representative generally must ask the probate court for an order authorizing the sale. The will, appointment, court order, and title determine who may sign and what steps remain. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living there?
A sale by itself does not make a rented home vacant or cancel the tenant’s lease. The lease and applicable Arkansas landlord-tenant law govern possession, notices, rent, and deposits. Bring each lease, amendment, deposit record, and notice into the sale discussion before setting a move-out or closing date. A local tenant protection or court order may add requirements.
Can I ask about a house with code violations or repair orders?
Yes. Send us the notice, inspection report, permit history, fine, and any recorded lien. A sale or repair agreement does not itself release a local order, fine, lien, permit requirement, or occupancy restriction; the issuing city or county and title record determine what remains. When you sell to us, we are the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What should I have ready before I call?
You can call before you have every document gathered. Start with the property address and what you know about the condition, occupancy, and timing. Mention a lease, estate paper, payoff notice, court paper, or city notice if it is part of your question; you do not need to have everything figured out before calling.

Local help
Which Paragould or Greene County office handles the question?
City and county records answer different questions. Confirm the actual parcel’s municipality and county before relying on an office or a record; a mailing address alone does not establish jurisdiction.
- City code or cleanup notice: Paragould Code Enforcement lists nuisance abatement, property cleanup, and weed or vegetation complaints. Check that the parcel is within the City before using a City code record. Paragould Code Enforcement →
- Construction permit or inspection: The Paragould City Inspector’s office lists its address as 301 W Court Street, Paragould, AR 72450, and its phone as 870-239-7513. The City describes construction permits, plan review, and inspections; ask about the actual address and work scope. This does not establish a sale-triggered inspection requirement.
