Taylor sold his inherited house and loved how fast & easy it was

When Taylor inherited his father’s home in Metairie, he faced a tough decision. The house had been in the family for decades, and while it was located in a great neighborhood, it had fallen into disrepair over the years. The roof had leaked, an awning had come down during a storm, and the interior was dated. It was in need of a full renovation before it could appeal to a new homeowner.

Like many people who inherit property, Taylor wanted to honor his father’s memory but didn’t want to take on the stress, cost, and time involved in fixing up the home. Between the emotional weight of sorting through personal belongings and the practical challenges of managing contractors, he realized that selling it as-is made the most sense.

That’s when he reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana.

Selling an Inherited House the Easy Way

Taylor found our website while researching how to sell an inherited house in Metairie without going through months of repairs and showings. He filled out our short online form, and we called him the same day to talk about the property.

After meeting at the house, we walked him through the process step-by-step. He appreciated that there were no obligations or pressure, just an honest conversation about what would work best for him. We inspected the property, discussed his goals, and made a fair cash offer that accounted for the repairs needed.

Since we buy houses directly with cash, we don’t rely on banks, appraisals, or lengthy inspections. That meant we could close fast, and we did.

Taylor accepted the offer, and we closed in just two weeks. He didn’t have to lift a finger. He left behind furniture, tools, and personal items he no longer needed, and we took care of everything after closing.

Turning a Difficult Time into a Positive Outcome

This sale meant more than just money. Losing a parent and inheriting a property can bring up a lot of emotions, especially when the home holds so many memories. Taylor told us it was a huge relief to have the burden lifted  and a comfort knowing the house would be renovated and cared for again, rather than sitting vacant.

The best part? We happened to close on a Friday, and Saturday was Taylor’s birthday. It was rewarding to help him end the weekand start his next chapter on such a positive note.

For us, that’s what Home Buyer Louisiana is all about: helping people move forward with less stress and more peace of mind.

What Happens Next

After closing, our team started restoring the home. The roof and awning were repaired, the interior was updated, and the old fixtures were replaced with modern finishes. Instead of being another aging property sitting empty in Metairie, the home was brought back to life and prepared for a new family to enjoy.

That’s the full-circle value of what we do, not just buying houses, but revitalizing neighborhoods across Greater New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, and beyond.
