Do you buy houses in Mansfield?
Yes. We buy houses in Mansfield and across DeSoto 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.
Mansfield is the parish seat of DeSoto Parish. Our office is in Keithville, in Caddo Parish, close to the DeSoto line, and I-49 runs between Keithville and Mansfield. Charlie takes the seller calls and usually calls back the same day.
Want a cash offer, or to have us take over the payments? Call or text Charlie at (318) 714-4321, or Get My Cash Offer. Cash is not promised on every house. No fee, no obligation.
Which towns do you buy in?
We buy in all of DeSoto Parish, and in the Keithville area on the Caddo side of the line.
- Mansfield: houses in town and the roads leading out of it.
- Stonewall: houses in town and the roads toward Keithville.
- Logansport: houses in town and along the Sabine River side of the parish.
- Grand Cane and Frierson: houses in town, on a few acres or on a country road.
- Keithville and the nearby Caddo Parish area: houses and land close to our own office.
Our guide to Keithville and DeSoto Parish describes the area and its roads. It does not rank anything.
What condition can the house be in?
Any condition. A house with a bad roof, a house that has been empty for years, or a house still full of belongings can be sold to us as it is. You do not clean it out, and what you do not want can stay.
A house in worse shape generally brings a lower offer than one in good shape. If your house is in good condition and you have time, a Realtor listing may bring more, and we will say so.
DeSoto Parish sheriff's sales
DeSoto Parish sheriff's sales are held on Wednesdays in Mansfield. The sheriff's sales list shows the sale dates weeks ahead. It does not post the time or the room, so call the sheriff's office and ask. The sales are advertised in The Mansfield Enterprise, the parish's official journal.
DeSoto Parish is in the 42nd Judicial District. If your house is on the list, you have options before the sale. 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 DeSoto Parish sheriff's sale has the steps.
We buy houses. We are a home buyer, not a law firm, a lender or a housing counselor. We charge homeowners no fee.
Inherited houses and successions in DeSoto Parish
If the owner has died, the house is generally handled through a succession in the 42nd Judicial District Court in Mansfield. A succession is Louisiana's word for probate. A title company usually wants the court paperwork done or underway before it will close.
The DeSoto sheriff's list sometimes shows an "unopened succession" or an estate as the defendant. That means the owner has died and the heirs are the ones who can act. We can 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 and our guide to selling a house in a succession. We are not a law firm, so talk to a Louisiana succession lawyer.
Behind on payments or taxes
Some DeSoto owners call us because they are behind on the mortgage or behind on property taxes. Start with the behind on payments page. For taxes, our guide on property taxes in Louisiana explains what changed on January 1, 2026, and the parish tax collector, who is the sheriff, can give you the exact amount owed.
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
You do not need paperwork to call. Still, a few things make the first conversation faster, and none of them cost anything to gather.
- The address and, if you know it, the parish tax number or a recent tax bill.
- What you owe, if anything: a mortgage statement, a past-due notice or a notice of seizure.
- Who owns the house. If the owner has died, say so, and tell us whether a succession has been opened.
- What is wrong with the house. Be honest about the roof, the plumbing, the wiring and anything else you know about. We would rather hear it from you than find it on the walk-through.
- Your timeline. Tell us if you have a sale date, a move date or no hurry at all.
Give us the address or the road, and tell us which town it is near. Many DeSoto Parish houses sit on country roads, and a description of the lot and the nearest crossroads is enough to start. If the house is near Keithville, tell us that too, since our own office is close by.
