Cash Home Buyers in Bucktown, Metairie — Get a Fair Offer in 24 Hours
Selling a home in Bucktown? We buy cash.
I’m Drew Rodriguez. Tony Bertucci and I buy houses in Bucktown, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know the difference between a raised camp on Lake Avenue that just needs paint and one that took four feet of water and never really recovered. Fill out the form at the top of this page or call (504) 920-4747, and we’ll give you a straight cash number in 24 hours.
Bucktown has a character you don’t find anywhere else in Metairie. The old fishing village bones are still there, especially off Lake Avenue, Live Oak, and the smaller streets running north toward the levee. You’ve got the pre-Katrina holdouts, the raised rebuilds that went up post-2005, and a scattering of newer construction on lots that were cleared and never re-shingled. Price bands here swing hard depending on the block and the elevation. A ground-level slab that took storm water can sit in the low $200s. A properly raised, renovated camp with a view toward the lake can push $600k plus. We buy across that whole spread.
The Katrina story still shapes half the calls we get from this neighborhood. Some owners rebuilt and stayed, some cashed out and left, and some are still holding a house they never quite finished putting back together. If that’s your situation, you’re not alone and you’re not stuck with a retail listing that punishes you for the repair list.
Recent BIG activity near Bucktown
We recently closed on 81 Woodlake in Kenner, right across the parish line, and 3547 Metairie Court sits close enough to Bucktown that the same buyer pool and the same flood-map conversations apply. When we underwrite a Bucktown house, we’re pulling from deals we’ve actually done in the same insurance and elevation reality, not comps we cherry-picked off Zillow.
Why sellers in Bucktown call us
Flood and insurance is the number-one reason our phone rings from this zip. Owners are getting quotes that don’t make sense anymore, and rather than fight the renewal fight for another year, they’d rather trade the house for cash and move on. We already know your elevation certificate matters, and we already know how to price around it. No surprises.
Hurricane damage is the other big one. If your roof got torn up in a recent storm and the insurance settlement didn’t come close to covering what it actually takes to make it right, we’ll buy the house with the tarp still on it. We’re not scared of a repair list. That’s literally what we do.
The third bucket is owners who inherited a Bucktown property from a parent who bought it in the 70s or 80s. Half-finished renovations, deferred maintenance from years of only-visits, and a family that lives out of state. We handle the succession attorney side, we close on your timeline, and you don’t have to fly in twice.
