From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the property and your options
We talk through the house as it stands, including repairs, who is living there, access, ownership, and timing. Tell us what is settled and what still needs checking. You can compare a direct sale with listing, repairing, waiting, or another option.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific terms before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
If you choose to move forward, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Share any statements, notices, estate papers, or lien records you have so the title company can identify what still needs review.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish details
Use the property's records for local questions
The incorporated City of Hammond lies within Tangipahoa Parish. That is city-boundary orientation, not a parcel-specific title, tax, or court determination; use the property's actual address when checking which records or rules apply. For a Hammond city permit or code question, start with the City of Hammond Building Department ↗. For recorded conveyance and mortgage documents, see the Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Court ↗. The title company checks which documents are needed for a particular closing.
Before settlement
Review the settlement figures and recording fee
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. See La. R.S. 13:844, recording fees ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
When things get difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys.
