Gulf Shores property comes with a specific set of pressures: hurricane exposure, vacation rental income that swings hard by season, HOAs on beachfront condos that can be slow to respond, and inherited properties owned by families spread across the country. If you own a Gulf Shores house, condo, or beach property you are ready to sell, we buy in any condition, on your timeline, with cash.
We are Bertucci Investment Group (BIG), a cash home buyer working across Baldwin County. We handle the same range of situations here that we handle in Louisiana: distressed sales, storm damage, inherited properties, foreclosure timelines, code issues, and vacation rentals that have become more work than they are worth.
What we buy in Gulf Shores
The full range of Gulf Shores housing is on our list:
- Beachfront and gulf-front condos, including buildings still working through post-Sally or post-Ida damage
- Second-tier and inland condo units, including those with slow HOA approvals
- Single-family beach houses on the Fort Morgan peninsula
- Vacation rental properties (Vrbo, Airbnb, agency-managed) with or without future bookings
- Inland Baldwin County single-family homes in and around Gulf Shores proper
- Vacant lots and tear-down properties
Hurricane damage, salt-air corrosion, HVAC issues from long vacancies, and wind-driven rain damage are all conditions we already assume in our numbers.
How our process works
- Contact us. Call 504-920-4747 or send the address.
- We walk the property. For coastal properties we time the visit around your rental calendar if the unit is booked.
- Cash offer within 24 hours of the walk. After-repair value, minus renovation cost, minus a fair profit margin. In writing.
- We close in 7 to 14 days. HOA-related delays common in beach condo buildings can push us to 21. You choose the closing date.
Situations we handle on the Alabama Gulf Coast
Inherited beach properties. Second homes bought decades ago and passed down through a family are one of our most common Gulf Shores deals. Multiple heirs, split across states, none of whom actually use the property anymore: we work with the succession or probate attorney, coordinate remote signatures, and close from wherever the heirs live.
Foreclosure timeline pressure. If the loan is past due and the lender has set a sale date, we can often close before it if title is workable. Alabama foreclosure timelines are faster than Louisiana ones, so call early.
Hurricane damage. Sally, Ida, Zeta, Michael: any of them. Roofs stripped, windows blown out, ground-floor flooding on beach houses, salt-water intrusion on ground-level condo units. We buy the property with the damage attached. Insurance claims can stay in your name if you want to keep working them.
Vacation rentals that are no longer worth it. HOA fee increases, insurance premium spikes on gulf-front buildings, and management company changes have made some Gulf Shores rentals a losing operation. If you are tired of writing checks to cover the shortfall, we buy the property with future bookings in place (we honor them) or without.
Tax liens, HOA assessment liens, mortgage liens. Settled at closing from the proceeds. HOA special assessments for post-hurricane building repairs are common and we handle them at closing.
Code violations and unpermitted work. Baldwin County citations, unpermitted decks, unpermitted rental use in HOAs that restrict short-term rentals: we take the property with the file attached.
The Gulf Shores angle
Beach property is priced by view, floor, building age, and building condition, not just square footage. A gulf-front unit on a mid-floor in a well-maintained building prices very differently than a ground-floor unit in a building with pending special assessments. A Fort Morgan single-family with private beach access prices differently than an inland Gulf Shores house six blocks off the beach. We know the buildings, the HOAs, and the specific issues each is working through, and our offers reflect the real after-renovation resale.
We also know how post-Sally insurance market changes have shifted the buyer pool for gulf-front properties, and how that affects what your property will actually sell for in the current market.
Why sellers work with BIG
No fees, no commissions, no closing costs charged to seller, no repair credits, no financing contingency. The number holds. Closings happen. Our capital, not a lender’s.
We close remotely for out-of-state owners. Sign at a notary in your city, and we wire the proceeds to your account. We work Gulf Shores from our Louisiana base, and we make trips to Baldwin County every week.

Frequently asked questions
Do you buy gulf-front condos with pending special assessments? Yes. Special assessments for post-hurricane repairs or major building work are settled at closing from the proceeds. You do not pay them out of pocket first.
What about a beach house with active insurance claims from Sally or Ida? We buy the property. You can keep the open claim in your name and continue working it after closing, or we can structure it so the claim transfers with the sale. Whichever works for you.
Do you buy vacation rental units with future bookings on the calendar? Yes. We honor booked reservations after closing (the guest experience is not disrupted) or we can time closing around the booking calendar. Your call.
Can you close if I am out of state and cannot come to Alabama? Yes. Sign at a notary anywhere in the country. We wire proceeds to your account. We do this on almost every Gulf Shores inherited-property deal.
How does hurricane exposure affect your offer? It is factored in. Post-storm insurance costs, wind-zone requirements, and elevation certificates are all part of our renovation and resale math. It does not disqualify the property, it just shapes the number.
