We buy houses in Benton, Louisiana

Do you buy houses in Benton?

Yes. We buy houses in Benton and across Bossier Parish. We look at the house as it sits, talk through the numbers with you and put the offer in writing. You do not repair, clean or paint anything first.

Benton is north of Bossier City on LA-3, and it ties into I-220 on the north side of the two cities. Our office is in Keithville, in Caddo Parish, and we drive to you to see the house. Charlie takes the seller calls and usually calls back the same day.

Why Benton is the place for paperwork

Benton is the parish seat of Bossier Parish, and most of the paperwork behind a sale or an inherited house runs through it.

• The clerk of court. A foreclosure lawsuit is filed with the parish clerk of court before the sheriff sets a sale date.
• The sheriff's office. It is at 204 Burt Blvd. in Benton. The sheriff's sales themselves are online, so you do not go there on sale day.
• The 26th Judicial District Court. A succession for a Bossier Parish owner is filed there.

None of that means you must come to us or go anywhere for our offer. It means the offices that can answer questions about your case are in your own town.

Houses around Benton

We buy houses in town, in the areas around it and out on the country roads. Our Haughton and Benton guide describes the roads and what is nearby. It is written for people looking for a home, so we will not repeat it.

Any condition works. A house with an old roof, storm damage or a yard nobody has mowed in a year can be sold to us as it is, and what you do not want can stay. A house in rough shape generally brings a lower offer than one in good shape. If yours needs little and you have time, a Realtor listing may bring more, and we will say so.

Bossier Parish sheriff's sales

Bossier Parish sheriff's sales are held online on Wednesdays through Bid4Assets. The sheriff's real estate list shows the sale date, whether a sale has been stopped and whether the house is being sold with appraisement.

If your Benton house is on the list, you have options before the day. The free ones come first: your servicer, a HUD-approved counselor and a lawyer. A closing before the sale date pays off the loan through the title company. Our page on the Bossier Parish sheriff's sale has the steps.

Inherited houses and successions

If the owner has died, the house is generally handled through a succession in the 26th Judicial District Court for Bossier Parish. A succession is Louisiana's word for probate. A title company usually wants the court paperwork done or underway before it will close, and unfinished paperwork is common with older family houses. Our guide on title problems explains the usual ones.

We may be able to sign with the heirs now and close after the paperwork is ready, and we buy the house with everything inside. See our page for inherited houses. We are not a law firm, so talk to a Louisiana succession lawyer.

How selling to us works

• Call or send the form. Tell us the address and what is going on.
• We look at the house and talk through the numbers, including any loan or back taxes.
• We put the offer in writing so you can show it to someone you trust.
• A local title company closes it. It pays off any loan and sends you the rest. We may pay cash, or in some cases take over payments, and neither is promised until we see the house and the paperwork.

You pick the closing date. We charge sellers no fee.

What to have ready when you call

• The address, and a recent tax bill if you have one.
• What you owe, if anything: a mortgage statement or a notice of seizure.
• Who owns the house, and whether a succession has been opened if the owner has died.
• What is wrong with the house, told straight.
• Your timeline: a sale date, a move date or no hurry at all.
