We buy houses across DeSoto County, Mississippi.

The DeSoto County cities we buy in

DeSoto County sits directly south of the Tennessee state line and functions as part of the greater Memphis metro. We work throughout the county, with the heaviest activity in its four largest cities.

What about smaller DeSoto County communities?

We also review properties in Walls, Nesbit, Lake Cormorant, Eudora and other unincorporated parts of the county. If your property is in DeSoto County but not in one of the four cities above, send us the address and we can tell you quickly whether it falls inside our current buying area.

What situations do we look at in DeSoto County?

Inherited houses, vacant properties, tired rentals and tenant-occupied homes, houses with deferred maintenance or storm damage, relocation out of the metro, difficult cleanouts, and sellers who simply prefer not to prepare a property for the retail market.

Do I need to repair the house first?

No. No repairs are required just to request an offer. We evaluate the property in its current condition and factor expected work into our numbers.

How is selling in DeSoto County different from selling in Memphis?

Two practical differences. Closings follow Mississippi rather than Tennessee practice, so the paperwork and the closing attorney or title company will differ from a Shelby County transaction. And DeSoto County housing stock skews newer than much of Memphis, so condition issues more often involve deferred maintenance, tenant damage or storm damage than a full gut renovation. The way we evaluate a property is the same either way: condition, repairs, holding costs, resale costs and timing.

Will a direct offer equal retail market value?

Usually not. An investor offer accounts for condition, repairs, holding costs, transaction risk, resale costs and margin. DeSoto County has an active retail market, so it is worth comparing the net proceeds and convenience of a direct sale against your likely retail alternatives before deciding.
