Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the price
The useful comparison is what remains after sale costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Use the Starkville net-proceeds calculator to compare possible numbers with your own assumptions.
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.

Starkville seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Starkville house without repairing it first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can review the house as it sits, including when it needs substantial work.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You see the written offer and terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
Who pays transfer taxes or deed charges in Mississippi?
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees, not a state transfer tax. The Oktibbeha 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 remain separate.
What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Check the deed of trust, notice, and sale date promptly. 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, and the sale is held at the courthouse door. After a completed nonjudicial sale under this section, there is no right of redemption.
Can I call before I have every detail figured out?
Yes. You can call before you have all the paperwork or timing sorted out. We can start with the question you have and talk through what may matter for the property.

Checking whether an address is inside Starkville
A Starkville mailing address alone does not establish whether a property is inside the city limits. The City Planning Department maintains GIS layers for city limits and zoning; its Maps page describes an interactive map with parcel and flood-data layers.
