Our Mission in the Headlines: Home Buyer Louisiana Featured in CityBusiness

We’re proud to share that New Orleans CityBusiness recently profiled Home Buyer Louisiana in an in-depth feature about solving the city’s blight and succession challenges. For us, this wasn’t just a media mention—it was recognition of the community-first mission that drives everything we do.

Our team doesn’t just flip houses. We solve problems that most people walk away from: houses stuck in probate, missing heirs, clouded titles, and decades of deferred maintenance. These issues don’t just impact the property owner—they affect entire blocks and neighborhoods. That’s why we step in and work through the legal, financial, and logistical hurdles to bring these homes back to life.

Unlocking “Unsolvable” Properties

“Even one house—if blighted and abandoned—can drag down an entire street. When we fix it, the change is visible and community momentum returns.”
— Steve Keighery, Home Buyer Louisiana

This quote from our founder, Steve Keighery, sums up our entire philosophy. A single abandoned home can attract crime, reduce nearby property values, and create a sense of hopelessness. But when we resolve the issues and get that home fixed, the ripple effect is huge—pride returns, neighbors feel safer, and families get a fresh start.

Clearing Titles and Helping Heirs Get Paid

“Many homes we buy are stuck in probate because heirs don’t want to pay out-of-pocket for succession. We contract the property before succession and get a local title company to handle succession upfront, paid from closing proceeds.”
— Steve Keighery, Home Buyer Louisiana

Most sellers don’t have thousands of dollars lying around to pay for an attorney or title cleanup. That’s why we partner with professionals like Olivia Byers to tackle these issues before closing, using proceeds from the sale to pay for legal work. It’s a win-win: the heirs get paid, the house gets sold, and the neighborhood gets revitalized.

Why These Houses Stay Stuck

“People think they own property but they don’t… I help investors and realtors figure out who they should be talking to beforehand in order to acquire the distressed properties.”
— Olivia Byers, Title Stream

New Orleans has more than its share of ancestral homes passed down informally, without the proper legal transfers. That’s why so many properties get caught in a legal web. Our team specializes in resolving these issues—whether it’s verifying ownership, locating missing heirs, or working with the courts to fix title defects.
