Marilyn Sold Her House to Home Buyer Louisiana

Selling a longtime home can feel overwhelming, especially when the property needs repairs or updates. Marilyn had lived in her Gentilly home for many years, but she was ready to start a new chapter in California. The problem was the condition of the house. The roof had been damaged during Hurricane Ida, and the water intrusion caused interior issues that would need attention before listing it on the market. The home also hadn’t been updated in about fifteen years, so it was dated and needed work to be move-in ready.

Managing repairs, finding contractors, and coordinating a traditional sale would have been a major project. Marilyn did not want to take that on, especially while preparing for a cross country move. She needed a simple and dependable way to sell the house as is. She also knew that dealing with storm damage after a hurricane would make the process even harder.

That’s why she reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana. We were able to make her a fair cash offer and schedule the closing for the exact day she wanted to move. No repairs, no inspections, no cleaning. She appreciated the flexibility and the fact that she didn’t have to navigate banks or wait on approvals. Our goal is always to make selling a home in Gentilly as easy as possible, and Marilyn’s situation was a good example of how that process can work.

She was very happy with how everything turned out. You can watch the video to see the property and hear more about the situation, or read the video transcript below.

Steve: “What was it like selling your house to Home Buyer Louisiana?”

Marilyn: “Actually, it was really great because I started this out being stressed, not knowing what I was getting into. But Stephen was amazing. He even came and picked me up today for the closing because I really don’t drive anymore. And not only that, he has been very patient with me. I was going a little cuckoo some days, and he sort of talked me off the ledge. So, no, he’s been wonderful, a really good guy. So, if I had to do it over again, I would definitely use Home Buyer Louisiana.”

Steve: “Thank you.”
