We’re Looking to Buy This Flood-Damaged House in Algiers

Flood damage is something many homeowners on the Westbank have had to deal with over the years. This house in Algiers had clear signs of water intrusion, and the condition made it difficult for a traditional buyer to consider. The baseboards were soft and crumbling, several sections of flooring were warped or lifting, and there were other visible indicators that water had been sitting in the home for a while. Properties like this can feel overwhelming for an owner, especially when repairs are costly and time consuming.

When we walked this house, our goal was to understand the full extent of the damage and determine what level of renovation would be needed. Homes across Algiers, especially older ones, often deal with drainage issues, past storms, or plumbing failures that lead to this kind of damage. While most buyers prefer something move in ready, we take on these projects with confidence. Buying houses in difficult condition is part of what we do every day, and it allows sellers to avoid the stress of repairs and uncertainty. Many sellers choose this route because they want to sell a house as-is without dealing with contractors or inspections. Others reach out after storms because they are selling a house after a natural disaster.

Many homeowners come to us because they simply do not want to deal with contractors, cleanouts, or the worry of whether the house will sell. A fair cash offer and a quick, as-is sale can make a big difference, especially when a property has been damaged. For this house in Algiers, our plan is to help the seller move forward without having to fix anything themselves. This part of Orleans Parish has many older homes that experience water issues, so we see situations like this often.
