Home Buyer Louisiana is a cash house buyer, property investor and private money lender based out of New Orleans. We buy houses in ANY condition and pride ourselves on being easy to work with, so you can sell your house fast with the least amount of stress. We have a vast network of partners, contractors and property professionals that specialize in buying problem properties and we apply our knowledge, money and hard work to fix those problems. There isn’t a problem that we haven’t seen. Whether that be a problem foundation, severe termite issues, a hoarder house, bad tenants, succession, tax liens or complicated title issues. If you want to sell your house fast to a reliable cash house buyer then you have come to the right place.

We have many approaches that we take when we buy a property depending on the circumstances. We may fix and flip, rehab and rent, provide lease options or many other approaches. We are constantly buying houses all over Louisiana that we can add to our portfolio. We currently have a particular focus on Greater New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, St Bernard Parish the Northshore, Baton Rouge Ascension Parish, Livingston Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St Charles Parish, St John, OpelousasNew Iberia, Tangipahoa and Lafayette.

About Steve Keighery

Aussie Steve From Home Buyer Louisiana

Steve is an entrepreneur and property investor from Australia. His family loved America and would visit every year. They have been to 28 states and their goal is to get to all 50. Their favorite city was always New Orleans so when Steve sold out of his Australian company he decided to take his family on a 6-month vacation to the Big Easy. 2 months into the vacation they realized that they couldn’t leave the city so got a Visa based on starting a business and investing in the USA (E2 Visa). That business was Home Buyer Louisiana and Steve is now dedicated to revitalizing blighted houses for new homeowners and tenants. He is a passionate Saints fan and attends most games in the Dome with his wife and children. He is proud to call New Orleans home now and contribute to growing the New Orleans economy. He is a member of the New Orleans Real Estate Investing Association and also invests in local startups through the NOLA Angel Network. He is affectionately know as “Aussie Steve” by the local property investor community.

About Arione Williams

Home Buyer Louisiana's Core Values

We Buy Houses in Louisiana

Home Buyer Louisiana lives by 2 company values:

1. Everyone needs to smile at the closing table: We will only buy a home if everyone feels like they benefited. If you don’t think that you are getting a fair deal or that we haven’t gone out of our way to solve your issue and get you what you need, then we don’t want to do the deal. Likewise we need to get something out of the deal to compensate for our investment in time, money and expertise.

2. Everyone we speak to must leave in a better position: If we end up doing a deal then that is obvious, but this also applies if we don’t. We look at more properties than we buy and want to make sure that anyone that reaches out to us or whose home we go to at the very least get some quality information that helps them understand their options and empowers them to take whatever action is best for them (Even if that is not selling their property to us)
