2. The sale, step by step
From the property conversation to settlement
Step 1: Talk through the house and what is unsettled
We buy houses as-is in Monroe and Ouachita 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, condition, occupancy, access, and the timing you are considering. You can begin before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Read the written cash 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 conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 3: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Bring the statements and notices you have so the questions for this property can be checked.
Step 4: 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.
3. Two ways to sell to us
Compare the 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.

4. Useful Monroe and Ouachita Parish details
Check the right court and local records
Monroe city limits and Ouachita Parish are distinct geographies. The Fourth Judicial District Court covers Ouachita and Morehouse Parishes and lists the Ouachita Parish Courthouse at 300 St John Street, Monroe, LA 71201. Its district covers more than Monroe city limits; that does not determine where an individual matter belongs. If a court or estate question affects the sale, use the actual property details and case papers to identify the right office.
Louisiana's basic statutory recording fee is $100 for a document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. The parish clerk records the deed; title and settlement costs also depend on the closing. Read Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:844 on recording fees ↗.

5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other entries, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement figures.
