How do you come up with your offer?

We look at recent sales of similar homes in your area, the property's condition, and what it will cost to bring it back to market shape. Then we make a fair offer and walk you through exactly how we got there — line by line if you'd like.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No. You pay zero commissions and zero fees, and we typically cover standard closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus anything you owe on the property.

Do I need to clean or repair anything?

Nothing. We buy houses exactly as they sit — leave behind furniture, old appliances, whatever you don't want to deal with. We'll handle it after closing.

What if my house is in really rough shape?

That's most of what we buy. Fire damage, foundation issues, hoarding situations, storm damage — we've seen it and bought it. Condition never disqualifies a property.

Am I obligated to accept your offer?

Never. The offer is free and comes with no strings attached. Take your time, compare your options, and if listing with an agent works better for your situation, we'll be the first to say so.

How fast can we actually close?

As little as 30 days from a signed agreement, working with a local title company. Need more time to move? We'll set the closing date around your schedule instead.

Towns we buy in

Cities and towns we buy houses in across Calcasieu Parish

Lake Charles Sulphur Westlake Moss Bluff Iowa Vinton DeQuincy

Calcasieu Parish knows better than anywhere what hurricanes leave behind. Years after Laura and Delta, plenty of homeowners are still carrying houses with unfinished repairs, insurance battles that went nowhere, or damage they simply can't afford to fix. We buy those houses as-is — tarped roofs, gutted interiors, all of it — so you can stop carrying the weight and move forward.
