We Buy Houses in New Orleans in Any Situation
No repairs, no fees, no obligation - whatever's going on with the property.
Flood damage or flood-zone designation
Flood history, elevation requirements, and unrepaired water damage make a home very hard to finance. Our buyers purchase as-is.
Insurance dropped or unaffordable
Louisiana's insurance crisis has left many owners unable to get affordable coverage - and a home that cannot be insured cannot be financed. Cash removes that problem.
Property never went through succession
Louisiana calls probate a succession, and property that has not been through one cannot be cleanly sold. It is common here and the notary can work on it in parallel.
Termite or rot damage
Formosan termites and humidity do real structural damage to New Orleans housing. Our buyers purchase homes with termite and rot damage as-is.
Inherited or probate home
Our buyers purchase inherited homes as-is with the contents still inside, including houses that have sat empty for years.
Unspent insurance settlement
You do not need to complete repairs or spend a hurricane settlement before selling.

Is a Cash Offer Right for You? The Honest Tradeoff
Let's be upfront: a cash offer is not the same as full retail price. Cash buyers purchase homes as-is and take on the repairs, holding costs, and risk, so their offer is typically below what a fully renovated home might sell for on the open market after months of listing.
What you get in exchange is speed and certainty - no repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no commissions or fees, and a closing date you choose, often in as little as 7-14 days.
A cash sale makes the most sense when speed, certainty, and convenience matter more than squeezing out the highest possible price - for example, an inherited property, a tight timeline, or a home that needs work you don't want to fund. If getting top dollar is your priority and you have time to list, repair, and show the home, a traditional listed sale in New Orleans may net you more.
No pressure either way. The offer is free and comes with no obligation, so you can weigh it against your other options.

Selling Your New Orleans Home - FAQs
How quickly can I sell my home?
Many sellers receive offers within 24-48 hours, with closings often completed in about 7-14 days. Timelines vary depending on title and buyer readiness.
How to sell my house quickly in New Orleans?
The fastest route is to skip the listing entirely: share a few details about the New Orleans property, get a no-obligation cash offer within 24-48 hours, and close in about 7-14 days on the date you choose. There is nothing to repair, clean or stage first, and no waiting on a buyer's financing.
Do I need to make repairs first?
No repairs, no cleanout, no staging. Cash buyers price the work into their offer and take the house as-is - that's the point of selling this way.
Are there fees or commissions?
None. There are no commissions and no service charges, and closing costs are typically the buyer's. Compare that with the roughly 6-8% a listed sale gives up in commission and concessions.
Can I sell a tenant-occupied or inherited home?
Yes. Buyers purchase inherited properties as-is (belongings and all) and take rentals with tenants still in them, honoring the lease from closing day forward.
What types of properties qualify?
Single-family houses, condos, duplexes, rentals, inherited homes, and properties needing major work all qualify across the New Orleans area. Condition doesn't disqualify a home - damaged, dated, or full of belongings, it's priced as-is.
Can I sell a New Orleans house that flooded?
Yes. Flood history, elevation requirements, and unrepaired water damage make a home nearly impossible to finance, which is exactly the situation where a cash purchase works. Our buyers purchase as-is with no repairs first.
My insurance was dropped and I cannot get coverage. Can I still sell?
Yes. Louisiana's insurance crisis has left many owners without affordable coverage, and a home that cannot be insured cannot be financed. A cash purchase does not depend on the buyer securing a policy first.
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 New Orleans. Forced heirship and generations of informal transfers leave many properties owned by numerous heirs. Raise it at the start so the notary can begin work.
How fast can a New Orleans 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 first.
