How this works in Louisiana
Off-market in Louisiana: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
Louisiana's executory process is faster than typical judicial foreclosure — 60–120 days. We can close in as little as 7 if you need to beat the clock.
Louisiana is a judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
Louisiana is a notary state: a notary (not an attorney or title company) closes your deal. You pick a local notary and show up to sign.
Local demand
New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette have the most active buyers. Flood-zone and insurance issues that kill MLS deals don't typically scare our matched buyers off — they price the risk in instead.

Glossary
Key terms for off-market in Metairie.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Metairie property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
