Areas We Serve in Louisiana
Our buyers purchase across Louisiana: New Orleans and the surrounding parishes, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and the smaller parishes statewide.
Selling a House As-Is in Louisiana
Louisiana requires most residential sellers to deliver a Property Disclosure Document, and the state's civil law system makes closings work differently from anywhere else in the country. A notary conducts the closing and passes the Act of Sale rather than a title company or attorney simply overseeing signatures. Louisiana also has redhibition, a civil-law doctrine giving buyers remedies for hidden defects that is stronger than the warranty rules in common-law states - though it can be waived in writing, which as-is sales routinely do.
Most of the state charges no transfer tax, though Orleans Parish has its own documentary transaction tax.
Flooding, Insurance, and Storm Damage
Louisiana's insurance market has been in crisis since the recent hurricane seasons. Carriers have failed or withdrawn, premiums have risen sharply, and many owners have been pushed into the state's insurer of last resort. A house that cannot be insured affordably is a house a lender will not finance, which removes financed buyers from the pool entirely.
Add flood-zone designations, elevation certificate requirements, and homes still carrying unrepaired storm damage or unspent insurance settlements, and a substantial share of Louisiana housing is a cash market. Our buyers purchase homes with flood history and storm damage as-is.
Succession, Heirs, and Family Property
Louisiana calls probate a succession, and property that has not been through one cannot be cleanly sold. Because of forced heirship rules and generations of informal transfers, a great deal of Louisiana family property is owned by many heirs at once, some of whom cannot be located.
That does not make a sale impossible, but it makes the title work the long part, and a notary who handles Louisiana successions regularly is essential. If your family's property has never been through succession, say so at the start - it can be worked on while everything else moves.
Selling a House in Louisiana - FAQs
How is a Louisiana closing different from other states?
Louisiana uses civil law, so a notary conducts the closing and passes the Act of Sale rather than a title company simply overseeing signatures. The state also has redhibition, a doctrine giving buyers remedies for hidden defects that is stronger than common-law warranty rules, though as-is sales routinely waive it in writing.
Can I sell a Louisiana house with flood damage or that I cannot insure?
Yes. Louisiana's insurance crisis and flood exposure make many homes impossible to finance, because a lender requires coverage the owner cannot get affordably. Our buyers purchase homes with flood history and unrepaired storm damage as-is.
Our family property never went through succession. Can it be sold?
Not until the succession is handled, but it is solvable and very common in Louisiana. Forced heirship and generations of informal transfers leave many properties owned by numerous heirs. Raise it at the start so the notary can begin the work while the rest of the sale proceeds.
Is there a transfer tax when I sell in Louisiana?
Most of the state has none. Orleans Parish charges its own documentary transaction tax, so New Orleans sales carry a cost that the rest of the state does not. It is settled at the Act of Sale.
Can I sell a house with an unspent insurance claim in Louisiana?
Yes. Homes with open or unspent claims after a hurricane season are common here and hard to finance. Our buyers purchase them as-is - you do not need to complete repairs or spend a settlement before selling.
How fast can a Louisiana cash sale close?
Offers typically come within 24 to 48 hours and closings usually run two to three weeks once the notary clears title. Properties needing a succession take considerably longer, because ownership must be established before anything can transfer.
