Selling a Fire-Damaged House in Baton Rouge

In Baton Rouge, we recently heard from a family dealing with a difficult situation. A grandmother had owned her home for many years, but after a fire severely damaged the property, keeping it no longer made financial sense, and they needed a way to sell a fire damaged house. She still had a small mortgage, and living on Social Security made it tough to carry those ongoing costs.

The house itself had extensive fire damage. Months after the fire, it was left as a shell with no roof and major structural loss. For the family, the idea of repairing or restoring the home wasn’t realistic.

In this video, Dillon King visits the property in Baton Rouge to assess its condition and explain how Home Buyer Louisiana helps homeowners sell a house as-is for cash, without the need for repairs.

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

What’s up, everybody? It’s me again, Dillon King with Home Buyer Louisiana. I’m out here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana today. We got a call from a granddaughter whose grandmother’s house has been in the family for a very long time. She still owes a little bit on it, but not much.

Unfortunately, as you can see around me, the family home caught fire about five or six months ago. The situation is devastating. The grandmother is retired and living on Social Security, and with the remaining mortgage payments, it’s just not enough. Financially, it no longer makes sense for them to keep the property.

The granddaughter went to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com, filled out the form, and told us about the property so we could get in touch. We buy houses as fast as possible, for cash, to help people get out of situations like this. I’m here now to see the property in person, inspect it, and understand the condition and the neighborhood.

This property is in Baton Rouge, but we service all of Southeast Louisiana. We’re here to help, and we’re going to buy this property as-is. As you can see, it’s just a shell at this point. There isn’t even a roof left. The AC unit and hot water heater were in what used to be the attic, and the fire completely destroyed the roof.

If you have a property in any condition and want to sell it, go to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com, provide the address, and someone from our team will reach out quickly. We buy houses as-is, fast, and for cash.
