We bought this inherited house with all the belongings in it

Inheriting a property can be overwhelming, especially when it’s full of belongings and needs costly repairs. At Home Buyer Louisiana, we specialize in buying inherited houses in any condition. This Independence, LA home was inherited after the previous owner sadly passed away, and the heir lived out of state. Rather than deal with cleaning it out or fixing the issues, he reached out to us for a fast and simple solution.

The Story of This House

The house was still filled with the brother’s belongings. While the heir kept a few important items, the rest was left behind. On top of that, the property had water damage from a leaking roof and damp spots throughout the house. Clearing it out and repairing everything would have taken significant time and money.

That’s where we came in. We purchased the home completely as-is, allowing the heir to move on without the burden. As part of our process, we donate what we can to charity and responsibly clear out the rest. Because we pay cash and use local title attorneys, the sale was quick, legal, and stress-free.

Hey guys, Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy properties in any condition and situation. I’m here at a property we just recently purchased, it’s actually an inherited property.

The story with this one is a little bit sad. The person who inherited it was the brother of the previous owner, who passed away. He was quite sick and actually passed away in the property. The heir came by, took what he wanted, and now lives out of state. He just doesn’t want to come back, to be honest.

The house is still full of his brother’s belongings. He took the things that mattered to him, but he doesn’t want the rest. He also didn’t want to deal with cleaning the place out or fixing the issues the house has, so he just wanted to sell it.

And look, we buy properties like that. We’re happy to go through everything, donate what we can to charity, and take the rest to a dumpster. We handle that for the seller, we buy houses as-is, no problem.

If you take a look around, you can see all the stuff still here. Sadly, this is the room where he passed away. The house also has damage. The roof had been repaired at some point, but water still got in and caused damage to the walls and created damp spots.

So yeah, there are definitely some repairs needed, and all the belongings are still here. It’s not something the new owner wanted to deal with.

This is what we do. Whether or not you’ve gone through probate, we can still purchase inherited houses. Our attorneys handle that as part of the closing process. And just to clarify—we do pay cash, but we don’t show up with a duffel bag full of money! We always use a title attorney to make sure the transaction is legal and legitimate for both parties.

If the property hasn’t gone through succession yet, the title attorney can organize that for you, and the cost can come out of the sale proceeds. You won’t have to come out of pocket for it.

So, if you’ve inherited a house, if it needs work, or if you just want to sell it fast, give us a call or visit our website at HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. We’re always happy to chat and talk about your property and your options. Have a great day!
