Selling a Distressed Double As Is in New Orleans East

We recently visited a distressed double in New Orleans East near Chef Menteur Highway and Old Gentilly Road. The seller had listed the property with an agent but needed a faster, more reliable solution. Issues with the house made a traditional sale difficult, and the owner wanted a simple way to move on without dealing with repairs.

The home had uneven floors, sagging ceilings, roof concerns, water damage, and sections already opened up and gutted. With two units and long-term wear and tear, the property had become a source of stress for the owner. In the video, Dillon walks through the structure and shows the damage throughout both units.

For sellers in similar situations, Home Buyer Louisiana offers an option to sell a house as-is that helps them get cash quickly without spending time or money fixing the property. Whether you’re dealing with selling inherited property or coordinating with multiple family members, the process can be simplified with an as-is cash sale.

You can watch the video to see the property and hear more about the situation, or read the video transcript below.

Hey. Dillon with Home Buyer Louisiana. I’m at another property in New Orleans, close to Chef Menteur Highway and Old Gentilly Road in that general area. This property was listed with a real estate agent, but time is often critical. Sometimes you need cash fast and want the property off your hands quickly, and that’s where Home Buyer Louisiana comes in. Go to homebuyer.com and fill out the survey to tell us about your property, how to get in touch with you, and see if we can help.

This is a double. I can see in the tile that there’s uneven groundwork. It’s raised on piers, and while you may not see it clearly in the video, the floor is uneven. The roof looks new, but there are clear ceiling issues. One area has already been opened up and gutted. Even in the kitchen, there’s visible warping and sagging in the ceiling. Along with roof concerns, there’s significant water damage, including under the sinks.

Whether you want to get rid of the property quickly, you’re dealing with a succession situation, there are multiple family members involved, or you’re a landlord who no longer wants to manage tenants, we can help. HomeBuyerLouisiana.com is where you can reach us. I’ll show you a bit of the second unit located in the backyard. It has old carpet, and we buy these properties as is. The owners won’t have to do anything for us to help them get their cash fast and remove the headache the property is causing.

You can see no one will need to make repairs because we buy properties as is. There’s sheetrock damage throughout, and in this room as well, I’m seeing unevenness in the floor and ceiling. Go to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com, fill out the form, tell us about the property you want help with, and how to contact you. We’ll reach out ASAP.
