Selling an Inherited House With Storm Damage in New Orleans East

This property in New Orleans East came to us after the homeowner inherited it and went through the succession process, a situation that often comes up when selling an inherited property becomes too difficult to manage alone. He lived in the house for a period of time, but ongoing maintenance and repairs eventually became more than he could handle on his own.

Although the roof was replaced after Hurricane Ida, the interior damage was already extensive. Water intrusion led to sheetrock issues, mold staining, and window problems throughout the house, which is common when homeowners are dealing with selling after storm damage without the resources to make repairs. With limited resources to take on major repairs, the property became a source of stress instead of stability. In cases like this, many owners choose to sell the house as-is rather than invest more money into a property they no longer want to keep.

In this video, Dillon King from Home Buyer Louisiana walks through the home, explains the condition, and shares how we help sellers in situations like this by buying houses as-is for cash, especially for homeowners selling a house in New Orleans East.

Hey, it’s Dillon King with Home Buyer Louisiana. I’m here in New Orleans East. We had a gentleman contact us through HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. He filled out the form and let us know he had a property he wanted to get rid of, and I’m here inspecting it so we can help him get out of the situation.

This particular property was inherited. He went through the succession process and lived in it for some time, but the upkeep has become too much for him to maintain on his own. He was able to get a new roof after Ida, but the interior damage is pretty far gone and he just doesn’t have the resources to handle it.

We’re looking at sheetrock repairs that appear to be DIY work and definitely need to be redone from the old roof and previous water damage. There is mold staining on the ceiling, sheetrock damage from water that came in before the roof was fixed, and every window needs to be resealed or replaced. You can also see plywood and old house wrap that have been there for quite some time.

Whatever situation you’re in, if you have a property that’s taking too much of your time and effort and causing you stress, go to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com and fill out the form. Get in touch with us and we’ll be able to help you. We buy houses fast and we buy them for cash.
