Do you buy houses in bad condition?

Yes. We buy houses in any condition, including fire damage, water damage, foundation issues, mold, hoarder situations, and open code violations. You do not need to make repairs, clean up, or haul anything out. We walk the property as it sits and make an offer based on what we see.

How fast can you close on an as-is house?

Most closings happen in 7 to 14 days from the signed purchase agreement. When title is clean and straightforward, we can close in as few as 5 days. The timeline depends on the title company's schedule and any liens or probate items that need to clear, and we tell you upfront what your specific timeline looks like.

Do you buy inherited houses?

Yes, and this is a large part of what we do. We work directly with heirs and estate attorneys, and we can close during or after probate depending on where the estate stands. If multiple heirs are involved, we coordinate signatures and disbursements at closing so each heir receives their share from the title company.

Do you buy foreclosures or pre-foreclosures?

Yes. If you have a sale date coming up, call us as early as possible so we have time to close before the auction. We handle the payoff directly with your lender and settle the loan balance at closing from the sale proceeds. In many cases, sellers walk away with cash even when they thought they had no equity left.

Do you buy houses with tax liens?

Yes. Tax liens, mortgage liens, HOA liens, and judgment liens all get settled at closing directly from the sale proceeds. You do not need to pay anything out of pocket to clear them. The title company disburses funds to each lienholder, and whatever remains after payoffs is yours.

What areas do you buy in?

We buy across South Louisiana, the Alabama Gulf Coast, and the Florida Panhandle. In Louisiana that includes Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, Metairie, New Orleans, Kenner, Uptown, and Mid-City. On the coast we cover Baldwin County (Gulf Shores, Orange Beach) and the Florida Panhandle (Fort Walton Beach, Escambia County, Okaloosa County).

Do I pay any fees or closing costs?

No. There are no agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs charged to you, and no repair credits taken out of your proceeds. The offer we give you is the amount you receive at closing, minus only any liens or payoffs owed on the property itself.

How is your cash offer calculated?

The math is simple and we show it to you: after-repair value (ARV) minus renovation cost minus a fair profit for our work equals your offer. ARV comes from recent comparable sales in your neighborhood. Renovation cost comes from what the property actually needs to be resold. We walk you through each number so you understand exactly how we got to the offer.

Do you require an inspection before making an offer?

No formal inspection is required. We walk the property ourselves, usually in 20 to 30 minutes, and factor condition into the offer at that point. Because we buy as-is and take on the repair risk ourselves, we do not send inspectors back for renegotiation after the offer is signed. The price we agree to is the price we close at.

How do I know you actually have the cash to close?

We provide proof of funds in writing before you sign anything, either a bank statement or a letter from our banking partner showing available cash for the purchase. We close with our own capital, not a mortgage or hard money loan, so there is no financing contingency and no lender who can back out at the last minute. If the title company confirms our funds are in escrow, closing happens on the date agreed.

Looking for a cash home buyer Jefferson LA owners can talk to without listing, showings or a repair list? This Q&A is for Jefferson and Old Jefferson homeowners considering an as-is sale in Jefferson Parish. It covers inherited houses, rentals, older homes that need work and storm repairs that never got finished.

Call 504-920-4747 or visit our Jefferson cash home buyer page. There is no obligation to accept an offer.

How does a cash home buyer Jefferson LA sale work?

It starts with a phone call or the short form above. Tell us the address, who is on the title, whether a mortgage or other lien remains and when you would like to be moved out. We walk the house in person, ask about its history and then put a written cash offer in front of you. Review it with family or an attorney before you decide.

If the terms work for you, a Louisiana closing attorney or title company runs the title search, orders payoffs and prepares the act of sale. A cash purchase does not depend on a mortgage approval, but title issues, agreed inspections and other contract conditions can still affect the closing date.

My mail says New Orleans. Is my house in Jefferson Parish?

Do not rely on the mailing city alone when preparing a sale. Ask the closing professional to confirm the property parish and legal description using your recorded deed and parcel records. Send a recent tax bill along with the address so the right property can be identified.

If you have a permit, inspection report or code notice, include that too. The closing professional can help identify which records need attention. Avoid assuming that a postal address changes where a deed must be recorded or which outstanding charges apply.

Can I sell an inherited Old Jefferson house that is still in a parent’s name?

Often, yes, but someone needs legal authority to sign first. If a house remains in a parent or grandparent’s name, ask a Louisiana succession attorney what is needed before a sale. The appropriate procedure depends on the estate, ownership records and authority of the person signing. Paying the taxes or keeping the lights on does not give anyone the authority to sell by itself.

A succession attorney can tell you which documents your family needs and how long that step may take. Our Jefferson Parish inherited house guide covers the process in more detail. Tell us early if an heir cannot be located.

What if my older Jefferson house needs major repairs?

An older house may have original systems or repairs completed at different times by different owners. Tell us about older drain lines, outdated wiring, settling foundations, worn roofs and any unfinished updates. You can request an as-is offer without completing those projects first. The specific condition and purchase terms still need to be reviewed.

In an as-is sale, the purchase agreement should explain the accepted condition and any inspection or cancellation rights. Tell the buyer what you know about leaks, past water intrusion, electrical work and foundation repairs, and share any invoices or reports you have.

Can I sell a Jefferson rental with tenants still in it?

It may be possible. If you are tired of managing a single-family rental or a double, tell us whether you want to sell with the tenants in place. A sale does not automatically end a lease or remove an occupant. Gather the current lease, the rent amount, the security deposit held and any notices you have given.

The purchase agreement should say how deposits and prorated rent are handled at closing. If you would rather sell it vacant, talk with your attorney about proper notice under the lease before you plan a move-out date. Our guide to selling a Louisiana rental with tenants in place goes deeper.

What if my house still has Hurricane Ida damage?

If your property still has a tarped roof, a stained ceiling or unfinished rooms from a past hurricane, explain what happened and what remains unresolved. You can ask for an as-is offer without completing those repairs. Gather dated photos, adjuster reports, estimates and invoices for any work that was done.

If a claim or dispute is still active, ask your insurance adviser or attorney how a sale could affect it before you sign anything, and put in writing who keeps any future claim proceeds. For flood zone questions, the official map for any address is available at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

What should I send a cash home buyer Jefferson LA team first?

Send the address, your contact information and a short description: who owns it, whether it is vacant, rented or occupied, known damage and your preferred timing. You do not need a finished file to start. Before you accept any offer, ask who the buyer is, whether the contract can be assigned to someone else and who pays which closing costs.

Cash home buyer Jefferson LA FAQ

Do you buy houses in Old Jefferson and Jefferson Heights?

Yes. We buy houses across Jefferson, including Old Jefferson, Jefferson Heights and Shrewsbury, along with nearby Metairie, Elmwood and Harahan. Every property is reviewed on its own details before we make a written offer, and you are never obligated to accept it.

Can I sell my Jefferson house without making repairs?

Yes. In an as-is cash sale you can skip repairs and cleanout. Share what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical and any past water intrusion so the agreement reflects the actual condition.

My address says New Orleans. Do you still buy it?

Send us the address so we can review the property. Do not use the mailing city alone to identify its parish. Ask the closing professional to confirm the legal description and parish from the property records before preparing the sale documents.

How long does it take to close on a Jefferson house for cash?

The timeline depends mostly on title work, liens and whether a succession is needed. When the title is clear, closing can be scheduled around your move rather than a loan approval. Inherited homes may take longer while the paperwork is completed.

Will you buy a rental or a double with tenants in it?

Often, yes. Have the lease, rent amount and deposit details ready. The purchase agreement should spell out how deposits and prorated rent are handled at closing.

Do I pay a commission when I sell to Bertucci Investment Group?

We do not charge a listing commission for a direct purchase. If you have already signed a brokerage agreement, ask your agent or attorney whether a fee is still owed. Request a written breakdown of closing costs and payoffs before committing.
