Happy customers who sold their inherited house fast for cash

We love seeing people’s smiles on closing day when they finally get to turn their house into cash, even if the masks during COVID hid them, we could still feel it!

This couple was absolutely ecstatic. They managed to sell their inherited home in New Orleans East in less than two weeks, turning what could have been a stressful, expensive situation into a smooth, fast sale.

From Fix-Up Plans to a Smart Cash Sale

When they first inherited the property, they thought they’d fix it up and keep it as a rental. But once they started getting quotes and seeing how much time and money it would take, they realized that renovating an older home just didn’t make sense.

They were already working hard on building their new business and had just found out they were expecting a baby,  so spending weekends managing contractors and dealing with repairs was the last thing they wanted.

Instead, they made a smart decision to sell the property as-is for cash.

Selling Fast to Avoid a Tax Auction

When our title company ran the title search, they discovered that the home had delinquent property taxes and was just a week away from being sold at a tax auction. If that had happened, the couple would have had to pay additional penalties and interest  and could have even risked losing the property altogether.

We quickly coordinated with our title company to speed up the closing so the sale could go through before the auction date. That allowed us to pay off the tax debt in full at closing, saving them thousands in future costs and stress.

The sellers were beyond relieved, not only did they get to walk away with cash in hand, but they also avoided a potential legal and financial headache.

Selling As-Is Made It Easy

The home wasn’t in great condition. It had some deferred maintenance, needed new flooring, and the kitchen was outdated. But none of that mattered because we buy houses as-is.

They didn’t have to clean, repair, or remove anything. We took care of all of that after closing, just as we do for every seller we work with.

Within two weeks, the deal was done  and they could shift their focus back to their growing family and business.
