Estimate what you could keep from a New Orleans sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for New Orleans, $243,781 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for New Orleans, LA) (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified Louisiana deed-recording fee of $100 for a document of one to five pages; longer documents, extra indexed names and other services can add charges. Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
New Orleans, LA illustrative estimate
New Orleans, LA illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a New Orleans house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

New Orleans selling costs: deed recording and closing
The parish clerk charges to record the deed. The basic statutory fee is $100 for a document of one to five pages; longer documents, extra indexed names and other services can add charges. Title and settlement costs also depend on the closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
For a simple example, the basic statutory recording fee for one document of one to five pages is $100. A longer document, extra indexed names, or other services can add charges; title and settlement costs depend on the closing. The $100 example is a recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price.
The Clerk's Notarial Archives page describes the City's contract to collect the Documentary Transaction Tax. The reviewed local facts do not establish a rate, amount, exemption, or whether it applies to a particular transfer, so confirm any transaction-specific tax with the official office and closing documents.

What New Orleans sellers should know
Use the actual property location
The 2025 Census place and county-equivalent layers show New Orleans citywide as coextensive with Orleans Parish. That comparison is about the citywide boundary, not an individual parcel. If an address or mailing label leaves you unsure, verify the property location before relying on a parish record or office.
2025 Census Louisiana places → 2025 Census county-equivalent boundaries →
Neighborhood labels can differ
The City's Neighborhood Statistical Area dataset has separate City Planning and GNOCDC labels. For example, one label is Vieux Carré and the other is French Quarter. These are planning and statistical names, not parcel boundaries or a determination about an address. Use the property address when a record or office question depends on location.

Questions about selling a house in New Orleans
Can I sell a New Orleans house without fixing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and condition so you can compare the written terms with another sale path.
What does it cost to record a Louisiana deed?
The parish clerk charges to record the deed. The basic statutory fee is $100 for a document of one to five pages; longer documents, extra indexed names and other services can add charges. Title and settlement costs also depend on the closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
Does a New Orleans address mean the property is in Orleans Parish?
The 2025 Census place and county-equivalent layers show New Orleans citywide as coextensive with Orleans Parish. That is a citywide geography comparison, not a parcel lookup or a conclusion about an individual address. Confirm the exact property location before relying on a parish record or office.
Which Orleans Parish office handles succession or land-record questions?
The Orleans Parish Clerk of Civil District Court lists Successions under Docket 1 on its Civil Division page and has a separate Land Records Division. Those office listings are routing information; they do not determine venue, heirs, representative authority, a signer, or what a particular land record says.
What should I do if I have a New Orleans code or blight notice?
Use the City Code Enforcement or blight-reporting route and ask the City about the actual address and notice. A public service page does not establish whether a parcel is cited, vacant, blighted, liened, in a case, or subject to a particular deadline.
Is there a Documentary Transaction Tax on my New Orleans sale?
The Orleans Parish Clerk’s Notarial Archives page describes a City contract to collect the Documentary Transaction Tax. The reviewed local fact record does not establish a rate, amount, exemption, or applicability for a specific sale, so check the official office and the closing documents for the property.
What happens to insurance proceeds if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
