Selling an Inherited House That Needs Repairs in Orleans Parish, Louisiana

In this video, Dillon King from Home Buyer Louisiana visits a family home in Orleans Parish that had been passed down through generations. One of the family members had started renovating the property, but personal circumstances prevented them from finishing the project.

By the time Home Buyer Louisiana arrived to assess the house, it had already been completely gutted and new framing had been installed. Because of its condition, the property was unlikely to appeal to traditional buyers or perform well on the MLS.

The video highlights how Home Buyer Louisiana works with owners facing difficult situations, including inherited properties and homes that need significant repairs. Dillon explains how the team evaluates houses in any condition and helps sellers who need to sell a house as-is move forward with a cash sale.

Hey, what’s going on? It’s Dillon King here with Home Buyer Louisiana. I’m out here really close to the barracks, kind of close to Chalmette, but not quite there yet. We’re still in Orleans Parish, in the lower 9th Ward.

We have a family home that has been passed down through generations. One of the family members planned to renovate it, and as you can see behind me, it has been fully gutted. There is new framing going in throughout the house.

For personal reasons, they decided not to continue with the project, so they went to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com and told us about the property. I’m here assessing it, and we’re going to buy this home as-is, as quickly as possible, and with cash. Cash straight into their pocket.

This obviously is not a property that would do well on an MLS listing with an agent because, right now, it’s really just a shell. But this is exactly the kind of property we look for because we want to help people in whatever situation they’re facing.

No matter what condition your property is in, whether you have a house full of belongings, whether it has been gutted or framed, or whether you have items you don’t have the means to remove, go to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com, tell us about the property, and we will be in touch soon to help you out.
