Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and balances tied to a sale. A listing and a direct cash sale can have different prices and expenses, so compare the written numbers against the costs that apply to your house.

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.

Useful questions
Picayune seller questions, answered
How much could I keep from selling my Picayune house?
There is no one net amount for every house. Compare the written sale price with the costs and balances tied to your property, such as repairs, commissions, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. A higher headline price does not by itself show what you keep.
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.
Do you buy houses as-is in Picayune and Pearl River County?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Picayune, Mississippi, and Pearl River County. You don't fix anything — not one thing.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer, and what comes before I decide?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive the written offer and terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Who pays Mississippi deed recording charges and closing costs?
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds have recording fees instead. The Pearl River County Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, call us about the house. 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 sale under this section, there is no right of redemption. The deed of trust, notice, and sale date matter, and an agreement does not automatically extend a statutory deadline.
Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes. A tenant in the house does not keep you from starting a conversation. Occupancy, access, the lease, and timing are details we can discuss as we review the property.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. Start with the property address and what you know about its condition, who is there, and your timing. You can call before you have every document gathered; the written offer and terms come before you commit.
