We bought this inherited house in Harvey for cash
We bought this inherited house in Harvey for cash. The house had been in the family for a while and when the current owner had inherited it they decided it was just better to sell the inherited house so they could use the funds for the next stage in their life. The property was in more of a rental area and an investor was always going to the buyer. The owner decided that they may as well avoid real estate agent commissions and fees and sell the house by owner direct to an investor. He reached out to us and we were able to pay him what he wanted so it made sense to just sell it direct with a simple transaction.
The seller liked that he didn’t have to clean the house up and stage it for open houses. We walked the house once to check the structural integrity of the house and bought the house in As Is condition. The seller was able to leave some of the rubbish behind and didn’t have to clean out. Since we pay cash for houses it means that we don’t need to have the banks do inspections and valuations. This cuts a lot of red tape and time of the sales process so the owner can sell their house fast without all the drama. We closed fast for cash and made sure the process was really easy for the seller.
If you know someone that has inherited a house or has a house they want to sell in As Is condition then Home Buyer Louisiana may be a good option for them. We pride ourselves on being easy to work with and making the home selling process as easy as possible. Since we are investors we don’t need to see the house cleaned up and staged. We understand property and don’t buy on emotion so don’t need to see the house staged. We just need to figure out the condition of the structure and what rehab is needed and can figure out a purchase price with a 5 minute walk through. If what we can pay for the house matches what you want for the house we can close fast with a really easy transaction. If it doesn’t we are still happy to offer advice and feedback that will help you get what you need for the house. Give us a call or fill in our online form to discuss your specific situation.

Hey, this is Aussie Steve from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in all sorts of condition across Louisiana.
I’m here at a property we’re just about to close on, located on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. This was a property that had been in the family for a while, and the son inherited it after his father sadly passed away.
The house is located in more of a rental area—definitely not the best part of Jefferson Parish—so the seller was looking for a fast cash sale. He didn’t want to deal with the hassle of trying to list it. The house is in okay condition, but it’s not the kind of home that would appeal to many homeowners in this area. It’s much more suitable as a rental property.
We’re buying it as-is, and the seller is leaving a few things behind, which is totally fine. We’ll take care of clearing it out. Compared to some of the other properties we buy, this one is actually in pretty reasonable condition. It does need a bit of work in the bathroom, but overall, it’s not a bad little rental.
The seller realized that the house was going to end up being sold to an investor anyway, not to a homeowner. So it made sense for him to sell directly to us. That way, he avoided paying realtor fees or commissions. We pay cash, and because we don’t use financing, we can close really fast—no need to deal with inspections or jump through hoops.
He was able to turn his inheritance into a quick cash windfall. If you have a house you’re looking to sell—maybe one you’ve inherited or one that needs repairs and isn’t quite ready for the market—we buy houses like that all the time in Louisiana.
Reach out to us. We’re happy to discuss your situation and see if we’re a good fit as a buyer. We’re always here to help and offer advice. We don’t buy every house we look at, but we do try to help everyone who contacts us. We’ll always give our thoughts, ideas, and options. And if we’re the right solution, fantastic. If not, that’s okay too—we’ll still wish you the best and hopefully give you some helpful guidance on your journey.
Thanks, guys. Have a great day.
