We Buy Inherited Houses (Even when the boarded up, run down and full of Wasps)

Inherited properties can be a blessing, but they can also be overwhelming when the house has been sitting for years. This Gentilly home had been passed down from the seller’s mother, but he lived out of state and could not keep up with it. By the time he reached out, the yard was overgrown, the house was boarded up, and the inside had the kind of repair needs that come with long-term vacancy. The seller knew the property needed serious work, and he did not want to deal with clearing it out or coordinating repairs from another state.

Homes like this are common across Gentilly and other older Orleans Parish neighborhoods. Many inherited properties have fallen behind on upkeep, need full cleanouts, or have title complications because the succession has not been completed. That is exactly why sellers contact us. We help people who are selling an inherited property, and we routinely work with our title attorneys to complete the succession as part of the sale.

While the attorneys handle the legal side, we prepare for the renovation. Once the succession is finalized, we close right away. Sellers do not have to remove furniture, sort through belongings, or deal with issues like wasps, vandalism, or boarded windows. This Gentilly property had all of those challenges, and the seller was relieved to have a simple, local solution.

What’s up everybody, it’s John from Home Buyers Louisiana. I am standing outside a property here in Gentilly.

As you can see, it is pretty overgrown with vines, and it’s boarded up. The seller came to us because this property was inherited from his mother.

He lives out of state and needs our help, as it’s been sitting for a while. If you look back there, you can see that one of the doors, the main door, was boarded up, but it looks like someone may have gone inside. There are a lot of wasps around as well.

So, I’ve got my handy-dandy wasp spray, and I’m going to go check it out. We are definitely interested in this property. There’s hardly any property, no matter the condition, that we wouldn’t be interested in. So, if you have a property that looks like this, definitely let us know.
