Seller in Waggaman Relieved to Sell Her Hurricane-Damaged House

Selling a house that’s been hit by hurricanes—especially one with rising insurance and mortgage costs—can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly what this Waggaman homeowner was facing. After years of trying to maintain a property damaged by storms and stressed by skyrocketing insurance premiums, she was finally ready for relief.

She reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana, and Arione sat down with her to understand her needs. We were able to close fast, pay cash, and make the entire process simple. The seller described it as a “big load off her chest”—which is exactly what we aim to deliver for every homeowner we work with.

Arione: Okay. That’s fine. So how was your experience working with Home Buyer Louisiana?
Seller: It was really nice. Very easy, very quick process. They are very thorough.

Arione: They like to explain everything?
Seller: I didn’t have any questions that I didn’t get unanswered.

Arione: That’s good. That’s good. And your home—it was a bit of a pain to keep on hand?
Seller: Yeah. It was a pain to try to keep up with it with all the past hurricanes, damage, and all that. And then the mortgage skyrocketed with all the insurance. It was hard to keep up with the payments, but thankfully, this will be a big load off my chest. It was a pleasure.

Arione: Pleasure, though, and good to be here with you as well.
Seller: Thank you.
