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.

Tupelo seller questions, answered

Can I sell a Tupelo house as-is if it needs work?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How do I compare what I would keep from a sale?

The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written price with the costs and amounts due for your house; the net can change with repairs, selling costs, time, mortgage payoff, or liens. The calculator lets you change the assumptions instead of relying on a headline price.

How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale compare?

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.

How soon can I get a written cash offer?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

Can I review the price and terms before I decide?

Yes. We give you the written offer and sale terms before you commit, and a title company handles closing.

What if a Mississippi foreclosure sale is scheduled?

Most Mississippi deed-of-trust foreclosures proceed without a court case 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.

Who can sign to sell an inherited Mississippi house?

An executor—the person appointed to handle the estate—may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will grants authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. An heir cannot sign for the estate just because they are an heir. The will, appointment, court order, and title determine who may convey. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Can a house be sold while a tenant is still living there?

Yes. A sale does not by itself cancel a tenant’s lease or make the home vacant. The written lease and Mississippi’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Act govern notices, possession, and the security deposit. For a deposit, the landlord must itemize deductions in writing and return the refundable balance within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is returned, and the tenant demands it.

Can I sell a house with a code violation or repair order?

You can ask about a sale while a code notice or repair order is open. A change of owner does not by itself close an enforcement case or release a recorded lien; the issuing municipality’s notice and local code determine deadlines and remaining requirements. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Who pays Mississippi deed charges and closing costs?

Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds are subject to recording fees, not a state transfer tax. The county chancery clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Can I call before I have every detail or document?

Yes. You can call before everything is figured out or gathered. Start with what is happening with the Tupelo house and the question or timing you are working through; we can talk about the next step together.
