We bought this Metairie house in As Is condition

We recently purchased this inherited property in Metairie in Jefferson Parish. The seller had inherited the home from his father some time ago and was ready to move out of state. Rather than listing the property on the market, dealing with showings, or making repairs, he wanted a simple, fast cash sale.

The house itself was in reasonable condition but dated. There was older wallpaper, an aging kitchen, and a few repairs needed to bring it up to modern standards. Some areas had been updated, like the floors, but overall it wasn’t move-in ready for today’s buyers. On top of that, the seller’s sister had been living in the house, which made it harder to stage and show through a realtor.

That’s where Home Buyer Louisiana came in. We were able to make a fair cash offer and close quickly, without requiring any repairs, updates, or inspections. The seller was relieved to avoid the stress of fixing things up or paying realtor commissions. Instead, he walked away with cash in hand, able to pay off debts and move on with his life in Florida.

This type of situation is very common in Metairie. Many inherited homes need repairs, updating, or cleanup, and homeowners don’t want to put in the time or money to make the house market-ready. We provide a fast alternative, buying homes in as-is condition so families can move forward without the hassle.

Hey, Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in Louisiana in all sorts of conditions. We’re here at this property we just purchased in Metairie.

It’s a house that’s in reasonable condition. The homeowner had inherited it a while ago from his father. He was looking to move out of state and wanted to sell. The house is a bit dated and had a few issues, so it was harder to sell on the market. He just wanted a simple, easy transaction so he could move on.

We were able to figure out a nice cash offer that really worked for him, and he was able to sell the house as-is in its current condition. Have a look around—you’ll see the wallpaper is a little dated, though nice for its day. The house had some newer floors, but the kitchen was pretty old and dated. Overall, it’s a reasonable house, but the seller was just ready to move on and didn’t want to deal with fixing things up or staging it for realtors.

His sister had been living in the property, and she had just moved out, so it was difficult to show the house. He reached out to us, and we bought it as-is. That’s what we do—we buy houses in as-is condition.
