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 East Baton Rouge Parish

Baton Rouge Baker Zachary Central

Baton Rouge has block after block of older housing — homes in Mid City, Broadmoor, and the north side that need more work than a traditional buyer's lender will allow, sitting alongside some of the strongest suburban growth in the state. If you own a house that's fallen behind — an inherited property, a worn-out rental near campus, a home with a repair list that's grown longer than you want to deal with — you don't have to fix any of it to sell it. We buy East Baton Rouge houses exactly as they sit, with a local team member on the ground.

Questions, answered

Selling a house in East Baton Rouge Parish — common questions

Do you buy throughout Baton Rouge or only certain neighborhoods?

Throughout the parish: city neighborhoods, Baker, Zachary, Central, and the unincorporated areas in between. Condition and location inside the parish never disqualify a property.

My house needs major repairs — roof, foundation, electrical. Will you still buy it?

Yes. Homes needing significant repairs, or with projects that were started and never finished, are properties we regularly purchase, as-is.

Are you actually local to the Baton Rouge area?

We're a Louisiana company with a team member working the Baton Rouge market directly — the person who walks your property knows the area.
