“It was a joy, we closed in 8 days and it was very easy”

Lora had been carrying the stress of a vacant, gutted house in New Orleans East for far too long. The property had been sitting empty for years, and every month brought another round of expenses. She was paying property taxes, cutting the grass to avoid code violations, and dealing with the constant worry of people entering the house. Homeless trespassers had been coming in and out, which only added to her anxiety. What she wanted most was a clean, fast way to move on.

For more than a year, she thought she had a solution. Her neighbor had agreed to buy the house, so she waited. And waited. The sale kept dragging on with no progress, and after all that time, he finally changed his mind. Lora was disappointed and frustrated. She needed a real buyer who could make an actual decision and follow through, not more delays. That’s when she reached out to Home Buyer Louisiana.

We walked the property, assessed the condition, and made her a cash offer that met her needs. Because we buy houses in as-is condition, the fact that the home was completely gutted didn’t slow anything down. Within eight days, we were at the closing table. Lora was relieved, grateful, and surprised that the process had been so simple compared to the long year she had waited before. She told us she wished she had come to us earlier instead of dealing with uncertainty for so long.

Buying homes like Lora’s is something we do every day in New Orleans. Whether a house is dated, damaged, or stripped down to the studs, we make quick decisions and handle everything from start to finish. Our goal is always to make selling easy, especially when a property has become a burden. Lora left the closing table smiling, finally free of a house that had caused her more stress than anything else.
