We Buy Houses in New Orleans
Bertucci Investment Group is Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci, with an office at 128 Colby St in Metairie. We buy houses as-is across New Orleans and the rest of Orleans Parish, from Mid-City shotgun doubles to brick homes on the West Bank in Algiers. Below are New Orleans houses we actually bought, what was going on with each one, and what we learned that might apply to yours.
If your house is move-in ready and you have time to list it, an agent will often get you more money. A cash sale usually makes more sense when the house needs work, is tied up in a succession, has liens or code cases, has tenants, or has been sitting vacant. Either way, we will tell you which route we think fits.
New Orleans Houses We Have Bought
Each house below is a real Bertucci Investment Group purchase, and the photos are ours, taken at the property.
622 N Pierce St, Mid-City (2026): inherited, with succession and title issues
The family inherited this Mid-City house and needed it off their plate, but there were succession and title issues to clear before anyone could buy it. Andrew and Tony stepped in, coordinated the cleanup and closed with the family, and Andrew filmed a walkthrough on closing day. Tony and our crew have been rebuilding it since. Watch the 622 N Pierce walkthrough and read the full story.
What it taught us about Mid-City: a lot of houses here have been in one family for decades, and the paperwork has not kept up. If that sounds like your house, our Mid-City owner questions guide and our guide to selling an inherited house in New Orleans walk through the steps.
Lennox Blvd, Algiers: brick two-story, bought and fully renovated
This brick two-story on Lennox Blvd, on the West Bank side of New Orleans, came to us needing a full renovation. We bought it as it was and did all of the work ourselves, so the seller did not have to fix, clean or stage anything. The before and after photos show the front of the same house.
Anton St, Algiers
Another West Bank purchase, a few minutes from Lennox Blvd. Algiers is a big part of what we buy in New Orleans; see our Algiers page and our guide to selling a house fast in Algiers.

What We Look At in Your Part of New Orleans
New Orleans is not one housing market. The age of the house, the flood zone, whether it sits in a historic district and who lives in it all change what a fair cash offer looks like. Here is what we pay attention to by neighborhood, with our local guides for each.
Mid-City and Bayou St. John
Mostly shotgun singles and doubles, plus Craftsman houses near the bayou and the Lafitte Greenway. We see a lot of doubles with a tenant in one side, and houses that passed down without a succession ever being opened, like 622 N Pierce. Mid-City seller questions, answered.
Carrollton and the blocks around Tulane
Carrollton has a lot of raised-basement houses and bungalows, and the streets near Tulane and Loyola are full of rentals that have housed students for years. Flooding history on the ground floor, converted basements and worn-out rentals all come up here. Read our Carrollton raised-basement and bungalow seller guide and our page on selling a rental property near Tulane.
Uptown and the historic districts
Many Uptown blocks sit in historic districts, and exterior work on some of them needs approval first. That changes repair costs, and repair costs drive any cash offer. Our guide to HDLC versus National Register rules for Uptown sellers explains the difference.
Bywater and the Marigny
Creole cottages and 1800s shotguns, many with long-time owners and some that were short-term rentals. Old wiring, tired piers and termite damage are common in houses that have not been updated. Bywater seller questions, answered.
Algiers and the West Bank
Algiers runs from the historic cottages of Algiers Point to brick ranch homes and two-stories farther out, like our Lennox Blvd house. Algiers Point is a local historic district, so exterior changes there can need approval. How we buy in Algiers.
Gentilly, Lakeview and New Orleans East
Gentilly has brick ranches and raised bungalows, many rebuilt after 2005. In Lakeview we see raised rebuilds and repairs that were started and never finished; see selling a Lakeview house with unfinished repairs. In New Orleans East it is mostly slab ranch homes and townhomes, including houses that have sat empty; read selling a house in New Orleans East.
Selling a New Orleans House With a Complication
Inherited houses and successions
When the owner of a New Orleans house passes away, the heirs usually need a succession before they can sell. Orleans Parish successions go through Civil District Court, and in most cases a judgment of possession, or court authority for a succession representative, is needed before title can transfer. We can walk the house with one heir, put a cash offer in writing and hold it while your succession attorney finishes. Out-of-state heirs can sign with a mobile notary. Start with our guide to selling an inherited house in New Orleans.
Vacant houses
An empty house still costs insurance, taxes and upkeep, and it is more likely to draw a code complaint or a break-in. If you live out of town and the house has been sitting, read selling a vacant house in New Orleans.
Blight cases and code enforcement liens
The City of New Orleans code enforcement process starts with an inspection and a notice with a deadline to fix the violations, then a hearing if the work is not done. A judgment can be recorded as a lien. A lien does not stop a sale: recorded liens and back taxes are normally paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds, and the title company confirms each one. See selling a house with a lien in New Orleans.
Sheriff sale notices
A mortgage foreclosure or a city lien foreclosure in Orleans Parish can end in a sheriff auction. Selling before the auction date, while you still own the house, can leave you more control over the timing and the proceeds. Our guide to selling a house in foreclosure in New Orleans covers the options. Every case is different, so talk to an attorney about yours.
Flood zones and storm damage
Many New Orleans houses sit in FEMA flood zones that start with A, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance. A cash sale has no lender and no flood insurance condition, and we buy flooded and storm-damaged houses as they are. You still need to disclose any flooding you know about. See selling a storm-damaged house in New Orleans.
What it costs you to sell
On a cash sale to us there is no agent commission. Your mortgage payoff, liens, unpaid taxes and other seller obligations still come out of your proceeds, so ask the title company for an itemized estimate before closing. Our guide to closing costs when selling a house in New Orleans shows what a seller typically pays either way.
New Orleans Seller FAQ
Can I sell a New Orleans house that is still titled to a parent who passed away?
Yes, but the succession has to be handled before the sale closes. In Orleans Parish that runs through Civil District Court, and the closing happens once the heirs, or the succession representative, have authority to sell. We can walk the house, put a cash offer in writing and hold it while your attorney works through it.
The city put a code enforcement lien on my house. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Recorded liens are normally paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds, so when the sale covers them you do not need cash up front to clear them. We buy blighted houses and houses with open code cases as-is, and the title company confirms every lien before closing.
My New Orleans house has a sheriff sale date. Is it too late to sell?
Often it is not, as long as the sale closes before the auction date and pays what is owed, or the creditor agrees. Reach out as early as you can, and talk to an attorney about your specific case.
Do you buy flooded houses or houses in flood zones in New Orleans?
Yes. We buy New Orleans houses in any flood zone, including houses that have taken water, with or without an elevation certificate. There is no lender requiring a flood policy on a cash sale. You still need to disclose any flooding you know about.
Do you buy houses with tenants, like a Mid-City double or a rental near Tulane?
Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place, including doubles where one side is occupied. Tell us about the lease and the rent, and we will factor the tenant into the offer instead of asking you to empty the house first.
Which New Orleans neighborhoods do you buy in?
All of them, including Mid-City, Carrollton, Uptown, Bywater, the Marigny, Gentilly, Lakeview, Algiers and New Orleans East, plus the rest of Orleans Parish and nearby Jefferson Parish.
Will I get less than if I listed with an agent?
Sometimes, yes. If your house is in good shape and you can wait for a retail buyer, listing may net more. A cash offer prices in the repairs, holding costs and risk we take on, so it makes the most sense when the house needs work or has a title, tenant or timing problem.
How do I check reviews for a cash home buyer in New Orleans?
Read the company Google reviews, look for recent reviews that name the people you will deal with, and ask for a written offer and a closing at a licensed local title company. Bertucci Investment Group has 133 Google reviews with a 5.0 rating.
Who will I be dealing with?
Andrew Rodriguez and Tony Bertucci, the local owners of Bertucci Investment Group, based at 128 Colby St in Metairie. Andrew and Tony walk New Orleans houses themselves.
