Frequently asked questions

Do you handle damaged house sales in Louisiana?

Yes. We close damaged house cash sales throughout Louisiana, working with title companies in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and statewide. Each state has its own paperwork requirements; our team handles Louisiana-specific documentation as part of the closing process.

How fast can you close in Louisiana?

For damaged house situations in Louisiana, typical closing is 14-45 days to close. Some states move faster than others depending on title company schedules and any third-party requirements (mortgage payoff, probate court, etc.). Most Louisiana closings are scheduled at the seller’s convenience.

What about Louisiana-specific costs or taxes?

Louisiana has its own transfer taxes, recording fees, and title company customs. We pay the standard closing costs typically assigned to the seller, including transfer taxes where applicable. Property tax prorations are handled at the closing table based on the closing date.

How does the insurance claim factor into the sale?

If you have an open or settled insurance claim, tell us upfront. Common scenarios: (1) Insurance has paid out and you have the funds — keep them as part of your net. (2) Insurance has paid out to the lender (still on the house) — those funds typically apply to mortgage payoff at closing. (3) Insurance claim is still pending — we either wait or buy ‘as-is’ with the claim still open and you keep any future payout. Each situation is different; we’ll work through it with you.

Do I need to disclose all the damage?

Yes — both legally and practically. We buy as-is but we still need accurate information to make a fair offer. Hidden damage discovered after offer often kills deals or forces re-negotiation. Full disclosure upfront leads to a faster, smoother close. Most states have material defect disclosure laws regardless.
