Real Estate Problems We Solve in Lake Charles

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Lake Charles

Can I sell my Lake Charles house if it has hurricane damage?

Absolutely. Lake Charles has unfortunately seen its share of natural disasters, and many homes still bear the brunt of hurricane and tropical storm flooding. We specialize in buying homes as-is, regardless of the extent of storm damage. You don't need to undertake costly repairs or deal with insurance adjusters; we'll assess the damage and provide a fair cash offer.

What's the process for selling an inherited home in Lake Charles?

Selling an inherited home can be emotionally and legally complex, especially if it involves probate court through the Calcasieu Parish Clerk of Court. We have extensive experience with inherited properties and can guide you through the process, often buying the home directly to simplify matters and provide immediate liquidity to heirs, even if the property needs significant repairs or is far from Chennault International Airport.

My home is in an AE Flood Zone. Can you still buy it?

Yes, we absolutely can. Many properties in Lake Charles are located in areas designated as an AE Flood Zone by FEMA. This often deters traditional buyers due to increased insurance costs and financing hurdles. As cash buyers, flood zone designation does not prevent us from making an offer and purchasing your property quickly and efficiently.

How does selling to you compare to using a traditional realtor like Latter & Blum?

The primary difference is convenience and speed. With a traditional agent like Latter & Blum, you'll likely face showings, open houses, negotiations, mandatory repairs (like fixing galvanized plumbing corrosion), and pay a 5-6% commission, which for a $220,000 home is about $13,200. We offer a direct cash purchase, eliminating all those steps, associated costs, and the uncertainty of traditional financing.

Can I sell my Lake Charles house if I'm behind on property taxes or utilities?

Yes, you can. We frequently work with homeowners who are behind on property taxes with the Calcasieu Parish Tax Assessor or utility bills with providers like Entergy Louisiana. These financial burdens can be resolved through the cash sale, allowing you to settle debts and move forward without further stress. We handle the complexities to ensure a clear title for closing.
