Navigating the Emotional Journey of Inheriting a Home in Louisiana

Image
  At first, inheriting a house might feel like a blessing. But for many families across Louisiana, it quickly becomes an emotional maze—full of difficult decisions, family disagreements, and unresolved grief. At Home Buyer Louisiana, we’ve helped hundreds of people sell inherited homes across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and the Northshore. And I’ve experienced it personally—when I inherited a house with my siblings, it reminded me that this process is rarely just about real estate. It’s about healing, letting go, and doing right by your family. Why Inherited Homes Are So Emotionally Charged Grief doesn’t follow a clean schedule. For many sellers, just walking through their loved one’s home is overwhelming. We’ve seen people cry mid-tour. We’ve seen sellers walk out halfway through the process. That’s okay. It’s part of what makes this situation so human. We always tell people: the first step isn’t selling. It’s giving yourself permission to feel. Sibling Disputes Are More...

🏡 200 Deals Down: What I’ve Learned Helping Homeowners Across Louisiana

Image
 We just closed our 200th property at Home Buyer Louisiana  and I wanted to take a moment to reflect. This particular deal was an inherited home in LaPlace. Nothing flashy — just a family that needed help figuring out what to do with a house they didn’t want to hold onto. That’s the kind of situation we’ve seen time and time again at Home Buyer Louisiana. Honestly, hitting 200 deals snuck up on me a bit. When I moved to New Orleans in 2019 and started buying distressed houses, I didn’t have a huge team, fancy systems, or a five-year plan. I just knew how to find opportunities and solve problems. And that’s still what this business is all about. What I’ve Learned From 200 Real Estate Closings Here are a few of the biggest lessons that stand out: 1. The seller’s situation matters more than the property. It’s easy to focus on numbers, repairs, and comps — but real estate problems are usually people problems. Divorce, debt, inheritance, illness, relocations — every house we...

🔥 Selling a Fire-Damaged House in Baton Rouge – What This Seller's Story Can Teach You

Image
 We were recently called to inspect a house in Baton Rouge that had suffered significant fire damage. The fire had started in the back room and spread down the hallway, leaving visible charring and that unmistakable smell of smoke throughout the property. While it’s never easy to see a home in that condition, it’s a scenario we’re very familiar with at Home Buyer Louisiana . Many sellers in this position feel stuck. A fire can destroy not just parts of the structure but also your plans—especially if you don’t have the money, time, or desire to handle a major renovation. In this case, the seller was overwhelmed and wanted to walk away cleanly without investing in costly repairs, insurance battles, or contractor quotes. Our team inspected the house and found that while the fire had done serious damage, the bones of the house were still solid. That’s the kind of property we specialize in. We're not afraid of damage—whether it’s fire , flood, or foundation—we’ll take a look, run the...

This Inherited Orleans Parish House Had Succession Issues—We Still Bought It

Image
We recently closed on a home in Orleans Parish that had multiple challenges. It was an inherited property with unresolved succession work, and the house needed repairs. The family didn’t want to sink money into fixing it or deal with the court process alone. We stepped in, worked with our title company to handle all the succession documentation, and paid for it out of the closing funds. That meant no out-of-pocket legal fees for the seller. The home was outdated and not in great condition, but that’s no problem for us. We buy houses as-is and make the process simple—even when there are legal hurdles. If you're in a similar situation with an inherited property in Louisiana, reach out to us. We're experienced in making tough real estate situations easy.
