Meet Max Cohen, Your Lafayette Home Buying Expert

"As the founder of MyFastCashOffer, I know the Lafayette market intimately. I see Ranch-style homes with Acadian influences dealing with slab foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils far too often. These issues can be a huge headache for homeowners. Unlike Latter & Blum, I buy properties as-is, meaning you don't have to spend a dime on repairs or agent commissions. This approach can save you an average of $15,000 on your sale, putting more cash directly in your pocket. My goal is to provide a stress-free, transparent, and fast selling experience, tailored to your unique situation here in Lafayette."

Estimated Repair Costs: Slab Foundation Shifting Due to Expansive Clay Soils

One of the most common and costly defects in Lafayette homes from the 1950-1980 era is slab foundation shifting. Here's a look at typical repair expenses:

Repair Type Estimated Cost Range
Foundation Piers/Slab Leveling $10,000 - $35,000+
Interior Wall/Floor Repair $2,000 - $10,000
Plumbing/Pipe Adjustments $1,500 - $7,000

These costs are estimates and can vary significantly based on severity and contractor rates. Selling as-is eliminates these burdens entirely.

Real Estate Problems We Solve in Lafayette

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of homes do you buy in Lafayette?

We buy all types of residential properties in Lafayette, regardless of their condition, size, or age. This includes single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes, and even some multi-family units. Whether your home is pristine or requires significant repairs, like fixing slab foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils, we're interested.

How is your cash offer different from a traditional appraisal?

Our cash offer is a direct proposal to purchase your home, reflecting its current market value, condition, and any necessary repair costs we'll absorb. A traditional appraisal provides an opinion of value for lending purposes and doesn't account for seller-paid fees or required updates. Our offer is firm and doesn't rely on bank financing or lengthy inspection periods.

Can you help if I'm behind on property taxes in Lafayette?

Yes, absolutely. If you're facing property tax issues or tax liens from the Lafayette Parish Tax Assessor, we can help. A quick cash sale can provide the funds needed to settle outstanding tax debts and prevent further legal complications, giving you peace of mind.

What if my house is in a FEMA Flood Zone AE?

Many properties in Lafayette are in flood zones, including FEMA Flood Zone AE, which can make traditional selling challenging due to insurance requirements and buyer hesitation. We understand these complexities and still buy homes in all flood zones as-is. You won't need to worry about flood zone disclosure hassles or finding a buyer willing to navigate the flood insurance process.

Do I need to disclose all defects to you?

In Louisiana, sellers are generally required to disclose known material defects. While we buy homes completely as-is, and you won't need to make any repairs, we appreciate transparency. Knowing about issues like slab foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils or other problems upfront helps us provide the most accurate cash offer. We conduct our own inspections, so nothing will be a surprise.
