Selling a Storm-Damaged Family Home on the Westbank New Orleans

In this walkthrough, Dillon King with Home Buyer Louisiana visits a large family home on the Westbank of New Orleans, just off Mardi Gras Boulevard. The property has been passed down through generations and was originally built as a double before being converted into a single-family home.

Over the years, the house has taken on significant damage from storms, foundation issues, and general wear and tear. The condition of the property reflects that, with roof damage, boarded windows, sheetrock issues, and aging interiors throughout. Situations like this are common when homeowners need to deal with damage after a storm or hurricane and decide not to take on the repairs. There are also clear structural concerns throughout the property, especially signs of settling, which often leads owners to consider options for selling a house with foundation issues instead of investing in major work.

Instead of investing time and money into fixing the property, they chose a simpler path. This video shows how they were able to sell the house as-is without dealing with cleanup, repairs, or ongoing maintenance.

Everyone, it’s Dillon King with HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. Today I’m in a home on the West Bank just off Mardi Gras Boulevard.

This is an old family home that’s been in the family for generations. It was originally a double but has been converted into a single. It now has one water meter, one electrical meter, and one gas meter. It’s a pretty large property, but over time, with storms, general wear and tear, and foundation issues, the family decided they don’t have the time, resources, or desire to handle the repairs needed to bring it back to its original condition.

The family reached out to us through HomeBuyerLouisiana.com and told us they wanted to sell the property as quickly as possible without dealing with any repairs.

As you can see, there are major issues throughout the home. The cabinets are in poor condition, there are foundation problems, holes in the roof, boarded-up windows, sheetrock damage, old flooring, and signs of water damage. This property has a little bit of everything.

That’s where we come in. At Home Buyer Louisiana, we buy houses quickly, for cash, and as-is. The sellers don’t need to move anything, clean anything, or make any repairs.
