Selling a fire-damaged house

After a fire, most owners are dealing with an insurance claim, temporary housing, and a structure that can't legally or practically be occupied.

Fire-damaged homes are among the hardest properties to sell conventionally. Lenders won't finance them, insurers won't write new policies on them, and the repair scope is difficult for a retail buyer to price.

Settle the insurance question first. In most cases the claim proceeds belong to you, and how you handle them affects what a sale should look like. If a mortgage is involved, the servicer usually controls the disbursement of those funds.

We buy fire and smoke-damaged structures as-is, including total losses where the value is essentially the land. You don't need to demo, secure, or clean anything.

When owners typically call us about this

  • Partial fire damage with heavy smoke throughout
  • Total losses where the lot carries the value
  • Insurance claims already settled or still open
  • Properties boarded up or under a city order

Questions about this

Can I keep my insurance payout and still sell?
Frequently yes, depending on your policy and any lender requirements. Talk to your adjuster before you commit either way.
Do you buy total losses?
Yes — in those cases we're primarily buying the land.
