Sell Your House Fast in New Orleans, LA
Who buys houses fast in New Orleans? We do. Share the New Orleans address and complete a quick survey, and we review the details and make a cash offer. We either buy it directly or place it with a vetted local cash buyer who works Orleans Parish. You sell as-is, which matters in a city where so many homes carry old storm damage, deferred roof work or a title that took some digging.
New Orleans owners call us for very specific reasons. A shotgun double in Hollygrove that never fully recovered from flooding. A family house in the Seventh Ward that heirs have not been able to agree on. A rental in Gentilly with insurance premiums that no longer make sense. Waiting for a bank-financed buyer and a repair negotiation can cost months of mortgage, taxes and wind coverage. Meanwhile a house in Lakeview sits half-renovated because a contractor walked off the job.
Choose the date that suits you. Where title is clear, a closing can often happen in as little as 7 to 14 days, and an offer usually arrives within 24 hours of our getting your details. Louisiana sales are signed before a notary, and the buyer side covers the normal closing costs, so no agent commission is subtracted from your proceeds. Owners who left after the storms can sign remotely with a local notary.

A City of Old Houses and Moving Ground
New Orleans is built on soft delta soil, and its housing shows it. Shotguns and camelbacks in Bywater, Treme and Mid-City sit on brick piers that shift and sag. Lakeview and Gentilly were developed on drained cypress swamp and are dominated by 1940s to 1960s ranches, many raised after Katrina. New Orleans East has slab-on-grade houses where moisture and cracked foundations come up often. Algiers across the river adds early 1900s West Bank cottages, and Broadmoor and Hollygrove sit in some of the city lowest bowls.
Weather and insects add to the costs. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Ida in 2021 left a trail of roof damage, tarp-covered houses and unfinished renovations that never finished. Formosan termites chew through old wood fast, and homeowners insurance and flood premiums have climbed sharply for many owners. Heirs property, where several relatives share an inherited house, is also common and slows traditional sales. A cash buyer can often work with that mess where a bank-financed buyer cannot. Contractor trouble after the storms left plenty of owners with deposits gone and work undone.
Selling in Orleans Parish: What Is Different Here
- County
- Orleans Parish, which is the same territory as the City of New Orleans, since Louisiana uses parishes instead of counties.
- Who handles closings
- A notary public or attorney passes the act of sale, and a title company typically handles the search and insurance.
- Typical housing stock
- Shotgun singles and doubles, camelbacks, Creole cottages in the Marigny and Treme, raised mid-century ranches in Lakeview and Gentilly, and slab-on-grade homes in New Orleans East.
- Common repair issues
- Roof and wind damage, Formosan termites, shifting piers from soft soil and subsidence, flood-damaged interiors and aging cast iron plumbing.
- Local rules worth knowing
- The city pursues blighted and unsafe properties through code enforcement hearings and liens that can attach to the house, so open violations matter at the sale.
- Foreclosure process
- Louisiana mortgage lenders often use a court-supervised executory process, which can move faster than a typical full lawsuit.
- Nearby areas we also serve
- Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, Gretna, Marrero, Chalmette, Arabi, Slidell and other communities around the greater New Orleans area.

Selling a House in New Orleans When Life Gets Complicated
- Storm-damaged houseIf a roof tarp, gutted walls or mold from Ida or an earlier storm is holding up your plans, we buy the house in its current condition.
- Inherited family home with multiple heirsLouisiana succession and forced-heirship rules can be confusing. We work with the succession's attorney and the court timeline, and we can accommodate several signers.
- Rental with rising insuranceWhen wind, flood and liability coverage on a Gentilly or Hollygrove rental swallow the rent, selling as-is can stop the loss.
- Blighted or vacant propertyOvergrown lots and code notices can turn into liens. We buy houses with open violations, and the title company settles anything owed at closing.

Selling Your House in New Orleans: FAQ
Can I sell a New Orleans house that still has storm damage?
Yes. We buy houses with roof, flood and mold damage as they stand. The repair cost comes out of the price, not out of your pocket. If you have an insurance claim open or a contractor estimate, mention it in the survey so the numbers line up and nothing overlaps.
Who closes a Louisiana home sale?
A notary public or attorney passes the act of sale, which is Louisiana's version of a deed signing, and a title company handles the search and insurance. On our offers, the buyer side covers normal closing costs, and you do not pay a commission to any agent. Ask the notary any question before signing anything.
My relatives and I inherited a house. Can we sell it?
Often yes, once the succession is opened or a judgment of possession is in place. Louisiana succession rules are specific, and an attorney usually helps. Tell us where you are in the process, and we will plan around the court rather than rush it. Several signers are fine, including relatives in other states.
How does foreclosure work in Louisiana?
Many Louisiana mortgages allow executory process, a court-supervised procedure that can move quickly once started. If you have received a notice, selling before the sheriff's sale can protect equity. Talk to a local attorney about your options, and reach out early so there is time to close. Every file is different, so the sooner you ask, the more choices you keep.
Will a cash offer account for my flood zone?
Yes. We look at the address, flood history and condition, and flood zone status affects what buyers will pay. It does not stop us from making an offer. Share any elevation certificate or past flood claims you have, and we will factor it in when we reply. Elevation and past water damage are usually the biggest factors.
