We bought this run down house with complicated title issues in Gentilly

Selling an inherited property in Gentilly can get complicated quickly, especially when the title is not clear and the home has been sitting in poor condition for years. This Gentilly house was a good example of the kind of situation many families face. The seller had inherited the property but one of the heirs had been missing for a long time, which meant they did not have full legal authority to sell. On top of that, the property taxes had gone unpaid for years and foreclosure was getting close. The house itself was also in rough shape, with years of deferred maintenance and interior issues that made it tough for the family to keep up.

By the time they contacted us, they were overwhelmed and worried about losing their equity at the foreclosure auction. They heard we were good at handling difficult title situations related to inherited property and they needed someone who could help them move fast. We worked with our title attorneys, went before a judge to get the necessary permissions, cleared the outstanding taxes, and bought the house in its current As Is condition. No repairs, no cleanup, no delays.

The family was relieved at closing. Their stress had been building for years, and solving both the title issues and the foreclosure threat gave them a clean path forward. Instead of letting the home slip away, they were able to walk away with their equity and a sense of closure.
