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.

If you are looking for a cash home buyer Metairie families can actually sit down with, you have probably noticed two kinds of companies. Some are local teams that live and work in Jefferson Parish. Others are national brands that advertise in dozens of cities at once. The difference shows up in who answers the phone, who walks through your property and who signs the purchase agreement. This guide compares the two for Metairie owners dealing with an inherited house, storm damage or past due property taxes.

Bertucci Investment Group is a local team. Our office is at 128 Colby St in Metairie, we have 131+ five-star Google reviews, and Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci handle deals here personally. Call 504-920-4747 or use the short form above to start a conversation. There is no obligation to accept an offer.

How is a local cash home buyer in Metairie different from a national company?

National home buying brands are built to cover a lot of ground. Many run a central call center that collects your information, and the person who visits or signs the contract may be a franchise owner or partner investor you have not spoken to yet. Some contracts also let the buyer assign the deal to someone else. That model works for some sellers. Just ask who you are really dealing with.

A local buyer is usually a shorter chain. The people at your kitchen table are the people making decisions, and they already know the streets, the flood history and the parish offices that matter for your sale, from Old Metairie to Bucktown, Fat City and Bonnabel Place.

Why local trust proof matters when you choose a cash home buyer Metairie owners can verify

Anyone can buy an ad. Before you hand over keys, paperwork or family history, look for proof you can check yourself:

A physical office you can visit. Ours is 128 Colby St, Metairie.
Real reviews on Google from people in the area. We have 131+ five-star reviews.
Names, not a brand. Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci handle our Metairie deals locally.
A local closing. Ask which Louisiana title company or closing attorney will handle the act of sale.

Our Metairie cash home buyer page and Old Metairie page explain how we work in the neighborhoods we know best, and our Jefferson Parish page covers the rest of the parish.

Selling an inherited house in Metairie

Losing a parent or grandparent is hard, and the house they leave behind often brings decisions nobody in the family is ready for. Siblings may live in different states, and the home may be full of belongings or need repairs. We understand this is a difficult time, and we try to make the property one less thing to carry.

In Louisiana, heirs usually need legal authority through a succession before anyone can sign an act of sale. A succession attorney can tell your family what is needed. While that paperwork moves forward, we walk the family through the process step by step, answer questions from every heir, and buy the house as-is. You do not need to make repairs, hold an estate sale or clean out every closet first.

Selling a storm damaged house in Metairie

Hurricanes and heavy rain have left plenty of Metairie homes with roof damage, water stains, mold or unfinished repairs. Some owners have also received insurance nonrenewal letters because of an older roof. If that sounds familiar, read our guide on selling a house with an old roof in Metairie after an insurance nonrenewal.

A local buyer can walk the house with you and talk through what you already have: dated photos, adjuster reports, contractor estimates and any open claim. If a claim is still active, ask your insurance adviser or attorney how a sale could affect it, and put in writing who keeps any future claim proceeds. We buy storm damaged houses as-is, so you do not have to finish repairs before you sell.

Behind on property taxes in Metairie

Metairie is unincorporated, so most owners deal with Jefferson Parish taxes collected by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office rather than a separate city bill. Owners fall behind for ordinary reasons, and heirs often miss notices that still go to a late parent’s address.

Unpaid taxes follow the property, so they have to be cleared for the buyer to receive good title. In most sales, the closing attorney or title company orders tax research and pays the delinquent amount from the sale proceeds at closing. If the property has already gone through a tax sale, call a Louisiana real estate attorney right away to review your options. Our guide to selling a house with a tax lien in Louisiana covers more detail.

Can I sell my house fast in Metairie LA without repairs?

If you have been searching “sell my house fast Metairie LA,” you probably want a simple process without repairs or showings. A direct cash sale can offer that. Timing depends on the title work, any liens or back taxes, whether a succession is needed and when you want to move. A local team can explain each step in person.

Questions to ask any cash home buyer before you sign

Whether you talk with us, another local investor or a national brand, these questions protect you:

Who exactly is buying my house, and will you assign this contract to someone else?
Where is your office, and can I meet you there?
Which title company or closing attorney will handle the sale?
Who pays which closing costs, and can I see a written breakdown?

Review any written offer with someone you trust before you decide.
