If you own a house in Metairie that needs work, has piled up back taxes, or came to you through an inheritance you never planned for, you already know what listing it looks like. Repairs first, then a stager, then months on the market, then a buyer who backs out at inspection. We are Bertucci Investment Group (BIG), a cash home buyer working across Jefferson Parish, and we take the whole listing chain off your plate. We buy houses in Metairie in their current condition, from Old Metairie down to Bucktown and the Fat City corridor, and we close on your timeline.

You do not clean the house. You do not fix the roof, the slab, the electrical, or the water damage from the last storm. You walk out with the belongings you want and leave everything else. We handle the rest.

What we buy in Metairie

We buy single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses, and small condos across every Metairie ZIP code (70001, 70002, 70003, 70005, 70006). Condition is not a filter for us. We regularly close on:

• Houses with foundation movement common to slab-on-grade construction in Jefferson Parish
• Homes with active or dried water damage from Katrina, Ida, or interior plumbing failures
• Fire-damaged structures, partial burns included
• Hoarder situations where the seller cannot access parts of the interior
• Houses with active code enforcement citations from Jefferson Parish
• Properties with deferred maintenance stretching back a decade or more
• Rentals with tenants in place, including problem tenants and Section 8

If you are wondering whether we buy your specific situation, call us. We have not turned down a Metairie property for condition reasons.

How our process works

1. Contact us. Call 504-920-4747 or fill out the form. Tell us the address and the basics.
2. We walk the property. One visit, 20 to 40 minutes, at a time that works for you. Bring the belongings you want out of the house that day if you like.
3. We give you a cash offer within 24 hours of the walk. No back-and-forth, no games. The offer math is transparent: after-repair value, minus renovation cost, minus a fair profit margin. That is your number.
4. We close in 7 to 14 days. Straightforward title work can close in 5. Complex title (probate, liens, missing heirs) may push us to 21. You pick the closing date. We use a local title company and you get a cashier’s check or wire at the table.

Situations we handle every week in Metairie

Inherited houses. Jefferson Parish probate has its own pace. We work directly with the succession attorney and the heirs, and we can wait for judgment of possession if the timeline is close. If there are multiple heirs, we sign one purchase agreement and handle the split at closing from the proceeds.

Foreclosure timeline pressure. If a sale date is on the calendar, we can close before it. We have closed Metairie foreclosures in 5 business days when the title was clean. Call us the day you get the notice, not the week of the sale.

Tax liens, mortgage liens, HOA, judgment liens. All of it comes out of the proceeds at closing. You do not settle any of it in advance. The title company handles the payoffs and cuts you the remainder.

Code violations. Jefferson Parish citations for tall grass, blight, structural issues, unpermitted work: we take the property with the citations attached and resolve them after closing.

Storm damage. Ida-damaged roofs, blue tarps that have been up for years, tree strikes, mold: we buy as-is. If you are still fighting the insurance carrier, we can close and let you keep the pending claim.

Vacant houses. If the house has been sitting empty since a parent passed or since you moved out of state, we can close remotely. You sign at a notary near you and wire instructions do the rest.

Why Metairie sellers work with us

We are local. We know the difference between a 70005 raised center-hall and a 70003 slab ranch, and we price both correctly. We know which streets flooded in Ida, which subdivisions have HOAs with active liens on file, and how Jefferson Parish handles code enforcement. That knowledge means our offers hold, and closings do not fall apart at the title stage.

You pay no fees, no commissions, no closing costs, and no repair credits. The number we quote is the number you receive at closing, minus your own outstanding liens.

Call us today

Frequently asked questions

How is the offer calculated? We take the after-repair value of your Metairie house (what it will sell for once we renovate it), subtract our renovation budget for that specific property, and subtract a fair profit margin. What remains is your offer. We will walk you through the math if you want to see it.

Do you buy houses with tenants in Metairie? Yes. Tenants stay, tenants leave, tenants in the middle of eviction: none of it changes our offer materially. We take assignment of the lease at closing and handle the rest.

What about houses that flooded in Ida or Katrina? We buy them. Elevation status, remediation history, or lack of remediation, none of it disqualifies the property. Our renovation numbers already assume gut work.

Can you close before my Jefferson Parish sheriff’s sale date? Usually, yes. If title is clean we can close in 5 to 7 business days. Call as soon as you have the sale date on the calendar. The earlier you call, the more room we have to work with.

Do I have to clean out the house first? No. Leave anything you do not want. Furniture, appliances, clothes, paperwork, boxes in the attic: we clear it after closing. Take only what matters to you.
