Sell a fire-damaged house as-is

We buy fire-damaged properties at every stage: mid-claim, post-claim with the money already paid out, partially rebuilt, or abandoned after the family decided not to return. Soot, smoke odour, water damage from the hoses and open framing are all things we price rather than avoid.

If your insurance claim is still open, tell us. We can work with an assignment of claim where your policy allows it, which often gets you paid faster than waiting out a repair-and-reimburse cycle you cannot fund upfront.

Two practical points. First, keep the property secured — an open fire-damaged house attracts squatters and copper thieves, and that damage gets deducted from somebody’s money. Second, do not throw away documentation: the adjuster’s report, the scope of damage and the claim correspondence all help the offer move quickly.

What we look at before quoting a number

• The cause and extent of the damage
• Whether the claim is open, closed, or underpaid dispute
• Structural condition: framing, roof, foundation, subfloor
• Smoke and water damage in unaffected rooms
• Utility status and whether the property is secure

How a cash sale solves this

There is no listing period, no showings, no repair requests and no buyer whose mortgage can collapse three weeks in. You get one written number, a title company that handles the paperwork, and a closing date you choose — typically fourteen to thirty days from acceptance.

If getting a real number for the property would help you decide — even if you are months away from doing anything — ask for one. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
