Mississippi charges no transfer tax at all, and that is unusual
Mississippi is the only state we work in that charges no realty transfer tax whatsoever. Tennessee takes $0.37 for every $100 of the price, which is about $526 on a house at the Alcorn County median of $142,100, and Kentucky takes $0.50 per $500. Mississippi takes nothing. (Alcorn County Chancery Clerk, Corinth.)
That is money that stays with you whichever way you sell, and it is worth knowing before anyone quotes you closing costs. We pay the remaining closing costs on the houses we buy.
An affordable county that is slowly getting smaller
The median Alcorn County house is worth $142,100 against a median household income of $51,260, about two and three quarter times income, which is comfortably inside what a local family can borrow. 67.8% of homes are owned, 88.0% of people were in the same house a year earlier, and 21.0% of the county is over 65. But the population has fallen 0.5% since 2020, to 34,569 across 14,456 households. (US Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2025 population estimates and American Community Survey 2020 to 2024.) So a sound house here should be listed, and these are the ones that reach us instead.
- A house a lender has refused. Fire, water, structural movement or a failed septic field. No mortgage market, however affordable, will advance against those.
- An estate with the family elsewhere. With a fifth of the county past retirement age, the houses that come free have usually been held for decades and are still full. We buy with the contents in.
- A rental you have finished with. Median rent here is $751 a month. We buy with tenants in place and a lease running.
- A deadline somebody else set. A probate court or a job start date does not care that the market is steady.
Three ways to sell a house in Alcorn County
Three honest routes. At two and three quarter times income a sound Alcorn County house is within reach of local buyers, so the middle route usually wins. We are the right call for a house that cannot be shown or cannot be financed.
| Sell to us | List with an agent | Sell it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission | None | Usually 5 to 6 percent | None |
| Repairs | None. We buy as-is | Usually negotiated after inspection | Yours to do |
| Showings | None | As many as it takes | You run them |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Usually split | Yours |
| Time to close | 14 to 21 days, or 7 | However long it takes to find a buyer | Open-ended |
| Can it fall through | No lender, so no | Financing is the usual reason a sale collapses | Same risk |
| What you get | Below full retail, and we say so | Usually the most, on a tidy house with time | The most, if you do everything right |
What people say about working with us
Paperwork and costs in Alcorn County
Mississippi charges no realty transfer tax, so there is nothing to pay on that side at all. We pay the remaining closing costs on the houses we buy.
Deeds record with the Alcorn County Chancery Clerk in Corinth, the county seat, not with a register of deeds as they would in Tennessee. It is a different office with a different name, and it is the one thing people moving a sale across the state line get wrong.
Questions people in Alcorn County ask us
Do I really pay no transfer tax in Mississippi?
Correct, and it surprises people who have sold in Tennessee before. Mississippi charges none. On a house at the county median of $142,100 the equivalent Tennessee tax would be about $526. We pay the remaining closing costs on top.
My house is in reasonable shape. Should I list it instead?
Probably, and we would rather say so. At $142,100 against a median income of $51,260 local buyers can get ordinary mortgages on ordinary houses here, so an agent will beat our number on a place that can be shown.
I inherited a house in Corinth and I live out of state.
That is most of what we buy here. You do not need to travel, clear it out, or fix anything. The closing runs through a title company and can be handled remotely, and we take the contents as they are.
There are tenants in it and I do not want to evict anyone.
You do not need to. We buy with the lease running and the tenants in place, and nobody has to move for the sale to close.
How far away are you, and does that matter?
About two hours, in Jackson, Tennessee. It matters only for how quickly we can look at a house in person, which is usually within a day or two. The closing itself is handled locally by a title company.
How fast can you close?
Seven days where title is clean, fourteen to twenty-one more usually. If probate is running we work to the court rather than against it, and we will tell you plainly if waiting serves you better.
