Sell Your House Fast in New Orleans, LA, and Get a Fair Cash Offer
Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer making one fair, data-backed offer on houses like yours, as-is.
How do I sell my house fast in New Orleans?
Selling fast in New Orleans comes down to three moves: describe the property, receive a data-backed cash offer, then choose when you close. Because Propcash buys directly, the same person who prices your Orleans Parish house also signs to close it.
Tell us about your New Orleans property
Tell us the address, the condition, and your timeline. It takes about two minutes and asks nothing of you yet.
Get your cash offer
We weigh your property against Orleans Parish sales data and come back with a fair cash offer.
Review your offer & close
Look over the offer, accept it or move on with no hard feelings, and close in as few as 7 days through a Louisiana notary.
Why New Orleans sellers choose a fair, data-based cash offer
Propcash's direct-buyer approach puts you in control.
- A fair, data-based offer
- We show how we got our number
- We make money on the purchase, never from you
- Full price transparency
- No obligation, walk away anytime
- Free for sellers, zero fees
Our offer stands
No 24-hour expirations, no countdown clocks. If the market shifts, we re-run the numbers rather than pressure you, and we follow up on your schedule and no one else's.
We tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would clearly serve you better and you have the time, we will tell you that and point you to someone local.
How Propcash stacks up against other ways to sell a New Orleans house
That's us
If you have time and the house shows well, listing with an agent may net you more. If you want it done without repairs or showings, that is where we come in. We tell you straight either way.
Why do New Orleans homeowners sell their houses for cash?
Insurance trouble, storm-worn stock, an inherited house tied up in a succession, and burned-out landlords are the usual reasons Orleans Parish owners call Propcash.
Storm damage that was never finished
Roof and water damage from a recent season, or a repair that stopped when the claim money ran out. Sell a house that needs major repairs exactly as it sits, no contractor to hire and no insurance claim to close out first.
A vacant house you are carrying from out of state
Taxes, insurance, and city code-enforcement notices keep arriving on a house nobody lives in. We buy a vacant house in whatever condition the last few years left it, and we handle the cleanout after closing.
An inherited house in a Louisiana succession
A Gentilly or Algiers house full of decades of belongings, with heirs scattered since 2005, is the kind of call we take every week. We help heirs sell an inherited house without a cleanout to run or repairs to pay for first. Inheritance guide.
A house nobody can insure affordably
A high-risk flood zone, a missing elevation certificate, or a repetitive-loss history can stop a financed buyer at underwriting even after the house is repaired. We are not borrowing to buy it, so the quote that killed the last deal does not stop ours. Code notices are fine too: we buy houses with code violations.
A community-property split
In a Louisiana divorce, community property splits one-half to each spouse, and staying on a joint listing for months tests everyone's patience. Sell a house during a divorce instead, with one clear cash number and the same reasoning shared with both spouses. Divorce selling guide.
Done being a New Orleans landlord
Storm prep, insurance renewals, and turnover on a rented double add up fast. Sell your rental with tenants in place, no eviction needed. Tired landlord guide.

We buy houses across Orleans Parish
From the historic shotguns of the Marigny to the postwar subdivisions of New Orleans East, Propcash buys houses throughout Orleans Parish in any condition, flood history and all.
Property in Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, or Chalmette? We buy there too. Upriver, owners sell a house fast in Baton Rouge and get an offer from cash home buyers in Shreveport.
Neighborhoods we buy in: sell your house fast in Lakeview, Gentilly, Mid-City, New Orleans East, and Algiers.
New Orleans neighborhoods, lakefront to the West Bank
New Orleans and Orleans Parish are the same territory, so one assessor and one set of tax rolls cover the whole city. What changes block to block is elevation, storm history, and the age of the house, and those three things decide who is able to buy it. We price by neighborhood rather than by city.
The lakefront and Gentilly: Lakeview, Gentilly Terrace, and Pontchartrain Park
Lakeview sits along the 17th Street Canal and took the worst of the 2005 canal-breach flooding, and its streets now mix elevated rebuilds with original pre-storm slab houses. East of City Park, Gentilly Terrace, Gentilly Woods, and Pontchartrain Park, a nationally significant postwar subdivision, flooded from the London Avenue Canal breaches and hold a deep stock of long-held family houses. Elevation certificates and insurance quotes come up in every one of these conversations.
The historic core: Mid-City, Treme, Bywater, Marigny, and the Irish Channel
These are shotgun singles and doubles, Creole cottages, and camelbacks built between the 1890s and the 1930s, usually on brick piers with wiring and plumbing patched rather than replaced. Mid-City flooded in 2005 and has been rebuilding along Canal Street and Bayou St. John, while Bywater and the Marigny sit on higher river-ridge ground. A period-correct restoration runs into real money before a lender is satisfied.
Higher ground: Uptown, Carrollton, the Garden District, Broadmoor, and Algiers
Uptown, Carrollton, and the Garden District sit on the natural levee and escaped the worst of 2005, so their 1900s-1920s houses change hands through estates and downsizing rather than distress. Algiers is the only part of Orleans Parish on the West Bank, and Algiers Point, a local historic district since 1994, holds the best-preserved Creole cottages in the city.
East of the Industrial Canal: New Orleans East, the Lower Ninth Ward, and Holy Cross
This is the value tier and the slowest-recovering part of the city after 2005, with 1960s-1980s subdivision stock in the East, elevated vacancy, and a heavy rental share. Financed offers here fall through on condition more often than anywhere else in the parish, which is why cash closings are common. We buy across the city and the rest of the state from our Louisiana cash home buyer page.
Sell your New Orleans house in any condition
Century-old housing stock and a subtropical climate create problems that scare off financed buyers: storm damage, flood history, Formosan termites, and pier foundations that have settled for decades. We are not scared.
Sell as-is and move on.
- Hurricane and storm damage
Roof damage, wind damage, and water intrusion, ordinary in a hurricane-exposed city.
- Flood damage and mold
Flooding history, water damage, and mold, all handled after closing.
- Termite damage
Formosan termites are aggressive here, and structural damage doesn't scare us.
- Foundation settling
Soft delta soil shifts brick piers and slabs alike, common across the city.
- Historic shotgun house issues
Outdated wiring and original plumbing in century-old shotguns, no problem.

Read the guideWhat New Orleans sellers are up against
Selling a New Orleans house the traditional way means the buyer's lender, the buyer's insurance carrier, and often a succession court all get a vote before you reach the closing table. We price around that rather than asking you to fix it first.
Insurance and elevation decide who can finance the house
Flood-zone status, an elevation certificate, and the cost of a homeowners policy routinely stall a financed New Orleans sale long after the offer is signed, even on a house rebuilt or raised since 2005. Louisiana premiums climbed hard after Katrina and Ida, and a buyer who cannot bind coverage cannot close. We do not need financing to buy your house, so a difficult insurance quote is not where the conversation ends.
An inherited house here goes through a succession, not probate
Louisiana does not use probate. Instead, a decedent's estate moves through a succession under the Civil Code, and an inherited house cannot change hands until that process clears title. When a Louisiana-domiciled decedent left property worth two hundred thousand dollars or less at death, heirs can use a small succession affidavit instead of a full court proceeding (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 3421). Descendants twenty-three or younger, or permanently incapacitated, are entitled to a forced portion of the estate under Louisiana law (La. Civ. Code art. 1493), and a surviving spouse typically holds a usufruct over the decedent's share of the community property while descendants hold naked ownership beneath it (La. Civ. Code art. 890). Because a sale needs the usufructuary and every naked owner to agree, we are comfortable waiting out the succession and buying every heir's share in one closing.
Foreclosure moves faster in Louisiana than sellers expect
Louisiana runs foreclosure through the courts, and its executory process procedure lets a lender seize and sell mortgaged property without first getting a citation and judgment, provided the mortgage is an authentic act carrying a confession of judgment (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 2631). That process can land at a sheriff's sale in as few as 60 days, and once that sale happens, Louisiana gives no statutory right of redemption. Everything usable happens before the sale date, never after.
A short-term rental license does not travel with the house
Orleans Parish short-term rentals are regulated by the city's Short Term Rental Administration, non-commercial licenses are awarded through quarterly lotteries, and the city states plainly that short-term rental licenses are non-transferrable (City of New Orleans, Short Term Rental Administration). Owners who bought for the nightly-rental income often find that the license, and the income, does not convey to a buyer. We price the house on its own merits, and our guide to how cash buyers calculate offers walks through the same reasoning.
Are cash home buyers in New Orleans legit?
New Orleans has real cash buyers and plenty of bad actors working the same streets, and a city with this much hard-to-finance property draws more than its share of the second kind. The buyers here are local rehabbers, small Orleans Parish landlords, and national direct buyers such as Propcash. We operate as a principal buyer: the purchase agreement carries our name, the offer comes to you in writing, and a Louisiana notary handles the closing.
How to vet a cash home buyer in New Orleans
Ask any legitimate buyer for proof of funds and a written offer, and expect no upfront fee. Walk away from anyone pushing a same-day signature, or anyone willing to skip the Louisiana notary, especially on a house tangled in a succession or carrying a tax lien. Our guides to the 10 questions to ask any cash buyer, the red flags to watch for, and what to expect from a cash buyer apply to every buyer working Orleans Parish, including us.
Before you sell your New Orleans house
How is Propcash different from New Orleans "we buy houses" companies?
Most "we buy houses" outfits hand you one take-it-or-leave-it number and hope nobody measures it. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we price your New Orleans house against Orleans Parish market data, show how we reached the figure, and can close quickly and confidently.
Are cash home buyers in New Orleans legit?
Legitimate cash home buyers do work in New Orleans, and so do bad actors, and a city with this much hard-to-finance housing attracts more of the second kind. Look for proof of funds, a written offer, and a Louisiana notary handling the closing. Propcash checks every one of those boxes and never asks a seller for money upfront.
How does Louisiana succession affect selling an inherited New Orleans house?
Louisiana handles a decedent's estate through a succession under the Civil Code, not through probate, which means an inherited house typically cannot sell until that succession clears title. Heirs of a Louisiana-domiciled decedent whose property was worth two hundred thousand dollars or less at death can use a small succession affidavit instead of a full proceeding (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 3421), and Louisiana reserves a forced portion of the estate for descendants twenty-three or younger or permanently incapacitated (La. Civ. Code art. 1493). Since Propcash is not a law firm, a Louisiana attorney is the right call for the specifics of your situation.
Will you buy my house in a New Orleans flood zone?
Yes. Much of Orleans Parish sits in a mapped flood zone, and many houses carry flooding history from 2005 or later storms. Flood-zone status, a missing elevation certificate, and a repetitive-loss designation are underwriting problems for a financed buyer, not for a cash one. We buy the houses those buyers walk away from.
Do you buy New Orleans houses with hurricane or storm damage?
Yes. Roof damage, wind damage, water intrusion, and repairs that stopped partway through are ordinary here rather than disqualifying. We buy storm-damaged houses as-is, and we do not ask you to settle an insurance claim first.
Does my short-term rental license transfer when I sell the house?
No. The City of New Orleans regulates short-term rentals through its Short Term Rental Administration, awards non-commercial licenses through quarterly lotteries, and states that short-term rental licenses are non-transferrable (City of New Orleans, Short Term Rental Administration). That often shrinks the buyer pool for a house bought for nightly-rental income. We price the house on its own merits and buy it either way.
How fast can you close on a New Orleans property?
Closings can happen in as few as 7 days, though most Orleans Parish deals land somewhere between 10 and 14 days. A Louisiana notary handles the act of sale and pays off any liens or taxes straight out of the proceeds. Need more time to move? You set that closing date yourself.
Can you buy my house before a Louisiana sheriff's sale?
Often, yes, provided there is enough runway to close before the sale date. Louisiana's executory process lets a lender seize and sell mortgaged property without a prior citation and judgment (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 2631), and that process can reach a sheriff's sale in as few as 60 days with no statutory redemption once it happens. Tell us the sale date as soon as you know it, and we will give you a straight answer on whether closing fits before then. Read our foreclosure guide.
How much will Propcash offer for my New Orleans house?
Our offer depends on location, condition, the flood-zone and insurance picture at your address, any open succession or title question, and what comparable Orleans Parish houses are actually closing at. We base it on local market data and show our reasoning. There is never pressure to accept. Read about how cash buyers calculate offers.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None at all. No agent commissions, no closing costs passed to you, no inspection fees, no hidden add-ons. Propcash earns nothing from charging sellers. We make our money on the purchase itself, and whatever cash offer you accept is exactly what lands in your hands at closing.
Do you buy houses in all New Orleans neighborhoods?
Yes. We buy across Orleans Parish, including the French Quarter (70116), Garden District (70130), Marigny and Bywater (70117), Uptown (70115), Mid-City (70119), Gentilly (70122 and 70126), Lakeview (70124), Treme (70116), Central City (70113), Broadmoor (70125), New Orleans East (70127 and 70128), and Algiers on the West Bank (70114 and 70131). We also buy in the surrounding Jefferson and St. Bernard Parish communities.
Do I need to clean or repair my New Orleans house before selling?
No. We buy houses as-is, with no cleaning, repairs, or prep. Termite damage from the Formosan swarms, a settled pier foundation, and decades of belongings in the back rooms are all things we handle after closing. Take what you want, leave the rest.
