New Orleans houses come with histories. Shotgun doubles that have been in the family since the 1940s, French Quarter units caught in complicated succession, Bywater cottages with piers that shifted after Ida, Ninth Ward properties still working through insurance from Katrina. If you own one and you are ready to be done with it, we buy in any condition, in any Orleans Parish ZIP code, and we close on your schedule.

We are Bertucci Investment Group (BIG), a local cash home buyer. We work with owners across every neighborhood in Orleans Parish, from the Vieux Carre and Marigny to Gentilly, Algiers, and New Orleans East. You do not repair anything. You do not clean anything out. You walk away with the belongings you want, and we take the property in its exact current state.

What we buy in New Orleans

Every housing type in the city is on our list. That includes:

  • Shotgun singles, doubles, and camelbacks in every stage of repair
  • French Quarter and Marigny condos and townhouse units, including buildings with slow HOA approvals
  • Uptown and Garden District historic homes with dated systems
  • Bywater and St. Roch cottages needing full gut work
  • Gentilly and New Orleans East ranch homes with post-Katrina histories
  • Algiers Point and Old Algiers historic properties
  • Multi-family up to 4 units, including vacant rentals and occupied buildings

Historic status is not a problem for us. We understand HDLC review requirements and price them into our numbers.

How our process works

  1. Contact us. Call 504-920-4747 or send us your address. A one-minute conversation is enough to start.
  2. We walk the property. For occupied properties we schedule around you. For vacant properties we can walk the same day.
  3. Cash offer within 24 hours of the walk. Transparent math: after-repair value, minus renovation cost, minus a fair profit margin. That is your number, in writing.
  4. We close in 7 to 14 days. Complex successions or missing paperwork can extend the timeline to 21 or 30 days. You pick the closing date and the title company handles the payoffs.

Situations we handle in New Orleans every month

Inherited houses and open successions. Orleans Parish successions are their own art form. We work directly with your succession attorney, and we regularly close on properties where the judgment of possession is still in progress. If the house has been sitting since a family member passed and the family cannot agree on what to do, we can be the neutral offer that unlocks the conversation.

Foreclosure. If Orleans Civil District Court has a sale scheduled, we can close before the date if title is workable. Call the day the notice arrives.

Tax liens and tax sales. City of New Orleans property tax delinquency, adjudicated properties, and pending tax sales are all on our regular deal flow. We settle at closing from the proceeds.

Code enforcement. Blight declarations, demolition orders, and open citations from the City of New Orleans do not stop the deal. We take the property with the file attached.

Storm damage. Roofs still tarped from Ida, flood damage from Katrina that never got fully remediated, tree strikes, mold: all fine. Keep your open insurance claim if you want, we structure around it.

Hoarder cleanouts. We have closed on houses where the front door would not open. Leave everything. We handle the cleanout.

Vacant properties owned by out-of-state heirs. Sign remotely at a notary near you. We wire the proceeds anywhere in the country.

Neighborhood-specific notes

The offer math depends on the block, not just the ZIP code. A Bywater cottage on a solid block near the Rusty Nail prices differently than an identical cottage six blocks toward St. Claude. A French Quarter unit above a bar prices differently than one on a quiet upper Chartres block. We know the streets, and our offers reflect what the property will actually sell for after renovation, not a generic per-square-foot average.

We buy in Lakeview, Mid-City, Broadmoor, Central City, the Irish Channel, the Lower Garden District, Marigny, Bywater, St. Roch, St. Claude, Gentilly, Pontchartrain Park, New Orleans East, the Ninth Ward, Holy Cross, Algiers, and the CBD.

Why sellers work with BIG

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy in every neighborhood in Orleans Parish? Yes. Every neighborhood, every ZIP code, every housing type. Bywater to New Orleans East, French Quarter to Algiers, we work all of it.

What if the succession is not closed yet? We can start the process before judgment of possession is entered. Your succession attorney and our title company coordinate directly, and we close as soon as clear title can be conveyed.

Do you buy French Quarter condos with slow HOAs? Yes. HOA approval delays are common in the Quarter and we plan around them. Our offer stays firm while the HOA works through its process.

What about houses with active City of New Orleans code enforcement? We take them with the citations attached. You do not need to resolve anything with the city before selling to us.

Can I sell if the house has squatters or a problem tenant? Yes. We buy with tenants in place, including problem tenants and pending evictions. We handle it after closing.
