What Does “We Buy Houses” Mean?
When we say “we buy houses,” we’re talking about helping people sell their homes quickly for cash.
Instead of using a real estate agent and waiting for months, people can call us and say, “I want to sell my house.” And we say, “Great! We’ll make an offer and take care of everything.”
It’s super simple. You don’t need to clean anything, fix anything, or wait for things like buyers, inspections, appraisal, lender approvals, etc. We’ll buy it just the way it is and we close fast. We make our own house buying decisions and we act quickly.
We are local too. If you reach out to a professional house buyer, make sure they are local. This is very important. How is a company from California going to buy your house without ever seeing it? Make sure they are reputable. We hold an A+ accreditation with the BBB. We have a ton of 5 star google reviews. People love working with us because we are honest and transparent.
Why Would Someone Want to Sell Fast?
People sell their houses quickly for lots of reasons, like:
· They’re moving to a new city or state
· The house is old and needs lots of repairs
· They inherited the house and don’t want to keep it
· They don’t want to pay for a real estate agent
· They need money quickly
Sometimes, owning a house can be very stressful. We’re here to help make it easier.
How Does It Work?
Here’s how selling your house to us works—in just 4 easy steps:
1. Tell us about your house
You fill out a form online or give us a call.
2. We come check out the property and make you a cash offer
We look at your house and tell you how much we can pay.
3. You decide
You can say yes or no. No pressure and no obligation!
4. We close the deal
If you say yes, we handle the paperwork and give you your money.
Some people sell their house and get paid in just 7 days. That’s fast! Other people need a little longer because they need to make living arrangements or they need to arrange to get stuff out of the house they want to keep. We work around your timeframe. And we always tell people, take what ya want and just leave what ya don’t.
What Makes NOLA Buys Houses Special?
At NOLA Buys Houses, we’ve been helping people in New Orleans for over 20 years. We’re a local, family-run business—and we treat everyone like family.
Here’s what we do differently:
· We pay cash fast

· We never charge you fees or commissions
· We cover all closing costs
That means you keep all the money we offer. No tricks. No hidden fees.
Is Selling to a Cash Buyer a Good Idea?
It depends on what you need! Selling your house for cash is great if:
· You want to sell quickly
· You don’t want to fix up your house
· You don’t want to wait months
· You don’t want to deal with realtors
But if your house is in great shape and you’re not in a rush, you might choose to list it the traditional way. A homeowner will almost always pay more for a house than an investor. But most homeowners need a bank to buy a house so they aren’t the ultimate decision makers. If the house doesn’t appraise, no deal. If the insurance is too high, no deal. If the house needs too much work, no deal. Traditional lenders won’t lend on houses that need repairs. They aren’t going to risk it.
Will You Give Me a Low Offer?
We’re fair and honest. We look at the condition of your house and compare it to others nearby. Then we give you a real offer—with no pressure to say yes.
You can always ask questions, and we’ll explain everything clearly.
