JJ’s Situation Before the Sale
JJ Todd had lived in her New Orleans home for 30 years when she reached out to Bertucci Investment Group. The house had fallen into serious disrepair and was becoming genuinely unsafe for her and her special needs son, David.
What she was dealing with:
- Extensive termite damage throughout the structure
- A leaking roof
- Only half the electrical power in the house was working
- The hot water heater had failed
- 30 years of deferred maintenance stacked on top of it all
This is the exact type of house other cash buyers walk away from. Traditional retail buyers won’t touch it without major concessions or repairs the seller can’t afford. That’s the situation Bertucci Investment Group is built for.
How Tony Handled It
In JJ’s own words: “It took one conversation on the phone for me to realize this is who I wanted to work with.” Tony visited the house, saw the living conditions firsthand, and made it personal to get JJ and David out as quickly as possible.
The team didn’t just buy the house. They helped JJ find a new home in the New Orleans neighborhood she actually wanted to be in. Because the target home had been on the market a while, the seller was open to an owner-financing arrangement. Bertucci helped structure the deal, walked JJ through inspections to make sure the new house was sound, and even helped coordinate extensive repairs on it before move-in.
The Result
JJ and David moved out of a dangerous, deteriorating New Orleans house and into a home in excellent condition, in the neighborhood JJ had wanted. In her words: “almost effortlessly.”
