Cash Home Buyers in the Bywater, New Orleans: Get a Fair Offer in 24 Hours
Selling a home in the Bywater? We buy cash. I’m Drew Rodriguez, and my partner Tony Bertucci and I have been buying houses in the Bywater for years. If your place sits off Poland Avenue, over on Piety or Desire, along Dauphine or Burgundy, or in the blocks near the wharf and the Industrial Canal, we already know your block. Fill out the form at the top of this page or call us at (504) 920-4747 and we’ll have a real cash number for you inside 24 hours.
The Bywater has moved fast. Ten years ago you could still buy a tired shotgun for $150k. Today the redone version of that same house trades for $500k or more, and the values have pulled a lot of longtime owners toward the door. What we buy is the mix in the middle: original singles and doubles that never got redone, warehouse conversions off Chartres and Royal that ran out of budget, camelbacks that need real structural work, and the occasional new-build infill on a corner lot. Every offer has to be built house by house.
Recent BIG activity near the Bywater
We work the Bywater and the neighboring Marigny and Holy Cross blocks constantly. When we underwrite a Bywater house we’re pulling from real deals in the same reality: original pier foundations that have settled toward the river, roof framing that’s held together for a hundred and twenty years and shows it, the actual cost of matching historic exterior detail. We’re not pricing off an average.
Why sellers in the Bywater call us
Cashing out is the number one reason our phone rings from 70117 down here. An owner bought a shotgun in 2011 for two hundred, lived in it or rented it, and the market has done the rest. They’re ready to take the money and move north shore, or Mid-City, or out of state, and they don’t want to spend three months prepping a listing for a retail sale that might still fall through on the inspection.
Estate calls are number two. A family has held the house since before the neighborhood turned. Multiple heirs, some in state and some not, everybody with a different opinion. We work through the succession attorney and close when the paperwork is ready.
Landlord exits are number three. Out-of-state owners who ran the house as a long-term rental or an STR through the boom years and are tired of managing it from another time zone. We buy tenant-occupied, we buy vacant.
Condition sales are number four. Fire damage, foundation heave, storm damage, a rehab that stalled. We buy mid-project and we pay in cash.
