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.

By Andrew Rodriguez & Tony Bertucci

Elberta sits on U.S. 98 in south Baldwin County, about 5 miles east of Foley and 10 miles west of Lillian at the Florida line. It is a small town with a farm-country road grid, older homes near State Avenue, family land on the edges of town, and newer houses filling in between. When one of those houses needs to sell and a listing does not fit, we are a local option.

Bertucci Investment Group buys houses for cash in Elberta and across Baldwin County. No listing agent, no repairs, no showings, no financing contingency. Call or text 504-920-4747 or fill out the form above and we will set up a walk-through this week.

Why Elberta sellers call Bertucci Investment Group

We are a family-run company led by Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci. We work the Alabama Gulf Coast every week, from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach up to Fairhope, so an Elberta call gets a real walk-through with a person, not an algorithm, and a written cash offer within 24 hours.

You pay no commission and no fee to us. You do not fix anything, clean anything out, or negotiate an inspection report. Closings run through a Baldwin County title company or closing attorney, and heirs or owners who live out of state can sign by mail.

Elberta at a glance: farm roots and a growing town

Elberta was settled by farm families. A Chicago land company, the Baldwin County Colonization Company, was organized in 1903 to sell farm tracts here, and the first settlers arrived in 1904, many of them German families moving down from the Midwest. The company laid roads out on section lines, north to south and east to west, the way Midwest farm country is platted, and that grid still shapes lots and parcels today. The town incorporated by vote on December 9, 1952.

Twice a year the town fills up for the Elberta German Sausage Festival, held on the last Saturdays of March and October to raise money for the Elberta Volunteer Fire Department. The Baldwin County Heritage Museum on U.S. 98 keeps the farm history on display, including the restored St. Mark’s Lutheran Church building.

Elberta is also growing. The 2020 census counted 1,974 residents, up from 1,498 in 2010. That leaves a mix of older farmhouses, family acreage, and homes that passed down through a family and now sit with heirs who live somewhere else. Wind exposure is countywide in Baldwin, so older roofs, sheds, and barns here often carry storm history too.

Common Elberta seller situations we buy

Inherited property. A parent or grandparent left the house, and the estate runs through the Baldwin County Probate Court in Bay Minette. We work on the court’s timeline so several heirs get one clean number to split.
Out-of-state owner. You live in another state and the Elberta house has been sitting, or a tenant has been calling about repairs you cannot see. We buy as-is and you can close by mail.
Older farmhouse or acreage. Dated wiring, a tired septic system, a sagging porch, or outbuildings nobody uses anymore. We buy the house and the land together and account for the condition in the offer.
Storm damage. A tarped roof, a wind claim that stalled, or water damage behind the walls. You do not have to finish the claim or the repairs before you sell.
Tired landlord. A tenant who stopped paying, a rental that needs more work than the rent covers, or a lease you are ready to be done with. We can buy with the tenant in place.
Divorce, relocation, or falling behind. A sale that has to happen on a schedule, a job move, or missed mortgage payments and back taxes. Liens and back taxes are paid from the proceeds at closing, so you do not front the money.

Elberta cash sale FAQ

How fast can you close on an Elberta house?

In as little as 7 days once title is clear. Many closings land in two to three weeks. If the house is in probate or an heir lives out of state, we follow that timeline and hold the offer.

Do you buy older farmhouses and land around Elberta?

Yes. We buy older homes near State Avenue, farmhouses on acreage, mobile homes on owned land, and newer houses. Foundation issues, old wiring, a failing septic system, or a dated roof do not rule a property out.

Can you buy an inherited Elberta house that is still in probate?

Yes. We can sign a contract with the personal representative and close once the Baldwin County Probate Court gives authority to sell. Heirs who live out of state can sign by mail.

Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house first?

No. Leave what you do not want. We buy the house as it sits today, including furniture, sheds, and whatever is in the barn.

Will you buy a house with storm damage or an open insurance claim?

Yes. We buy houses with roof, wind, and water damage, whether or not the claim is finished. Tell us where the claim stands at the walk-through and we will work around it.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No. There is no commission and no fee to us. The number on the written offer is the number we pay at closing, less any mortgage or liens that the title company pays off for you.
