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

Freeport sits at the crossroads of U.S. 331 and State Road 20 in south Walton County, on LaGrange Bayou off Choctawhatchee Bay. It is a short drive south over the bay to the beaches, and about 17 miles north to DeFuniak Springs, the county seat. The town has older homes and lots near the bayou and the creeks, rural parcels off the highways, and a large share of newer subdivision houses.

Bertucci Investment Group buys houses for cash in Freeport and across Walton County and the Emerald Coast. 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 Freeport sellers call Bertucci Investment Group

We are a family-run company led by Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci. We work the Florida Panhandle every week, from Destin and Miramar Beach to Niceville, so a Freeport call gets a real walk-through with a person 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 Florida title company, and owners who have already moved away, including military families on new orders, can sign remotely.

Freeport at a glance: a free dock that became a growing city

Freeport was settled around 1830 where Four Mile Creek and Lafayette Creek meet before emptying into LaGrange Bayou and Choctawhatchee Bay. The name comes from the landing itself: there was no fee to use the dock, so it became a free port. For much of the 1800s the local economy ran on timber, sawmills, and turpentine, and the town did not incorporate until 1963.

U.S. 331 crosses Choctawhatchee Bay on the Clyde B. Wells Bridge, tying Freeport to South Walton and the Gulf beaches. State Road 20 runs about 24 miles west to Niceville, and many Freeport households work at Eglin Air Force Base.

Then came the growth. The 2020 census counted 5,861 residents in Freeport, up from 1,787 in 2010, much of it from new neighborhoods such as Hammock Bay. That means a lot of newer houses owned by people who may move on orders or for work, sitting next to older bayou homes, family land, and rentals that have seen several storm seasons.

Common Freeport seller situations we buy

PCS orders or a job move. You got orders from Eglin or Hurlburt Field, or a new job elsewhere, and the report date does not leave time to list, show, and wait. We close on your schedule, even after you have moved.
Inherited property. A family house passed down, and the Walton County probate case runs through the circuit court in DeFuniak Springs. We work on the estate’s timeline so heirs get one clean number to split.
Tired landlord. A long-term tenant who stopped paying, a rental that sits empty between tenants, or a property that needs more work than the rent covers. We can buy with the tenant in place.
Storm damage or insurance trouble. A roof near the end of its life, water damage after a storm, or a policy that is getting hard to renew. You do not have to finish repairs or the claim before you sell.
Older bayou home or rural land. Dated plumbing and wiring, a tired septic system, or a house on acreage that needs more than a weekend of work. We buy the house and land together, as-is.
Divorce or falling behind. A sale that has to happen on a set timeline, missed mortgage payments, or unpaid Walton County property taxes. Liens and back taxes are paid from the proceeds at closing, so you do not front the money.

Freeport cash sale FAQ

How fast can you close on a Freeport house?

In as little as 7 days once title is clear. Many closings land in two to three weeks. If you are on PCS orders, we can work backward from your report date.

Can I sell my Freeport house after I have already moved?

Yes. Many military and relocating sellers sign remotely through the title company. We handle the walk-through, lockbox, and cleanout coordination while you are gone.

Do you buy newer homes in subdivisions like Hammock Bay?

Yes. We buy newer subdivision homes as well as older houses near the bayou and rural properties off U.S. 331 and State Road 20. Condition and age do not rule a house out.

Can you buy an inherited Freeport house that is in probate?

Yes. We can sign with the personal representative and close once the Walton County court gives authority to sell. Heirs who live out of state can sign remotely.

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 it 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.
