I'm Gilbert, a Southwest Louisiana real estate investor who has been buying homes in Calcasieu Parish and surrounding areas for years — through hurricanes, market shifts, and everything in between.
I'm not an out-of-state fund trying to lowball you. When you call Bayou Buyer, you get me directly. And I'll give you honest advice about your options even if that means I'm not the right fit for your situation.

Whatever You're Facing,
We've Seen It Before.
We've Seen It Before.
There's no challenge too complex. We've helped homeowners across Southwest Louisiana through every kind of difficult situation — and we'll find the right path forward for yours.
Facing Foreclosure
Behind on payments and running out of time? We can move quickly and help you avoid the long-term damage foreclosure does to your credit and peace of mind.
Inherited Property
Inherited a house you're not sure what to do with? We'll walk you through your options honestly and make the process as simple as possible.
Going Through Divorce
Need to sell quickly and move forward? We make the process simple, fast, and as stress-free as possible so both parties can start fresh.
Major Repairs Needed
Got a repair quote you can't afford? Sell completely as-is. We buy houses in any condition and handle everything ourselves after closing.
Relocating
New job, retirement, or family pulling you out of the area? We make selling fast and simple so you can focus on what's next.
Tired Landlord
Done with tenant calls and maintenance headaches? We'll buy your rental property — tenants in place — and take it completely off your hands.
