Most buyers and agents rarely deal with fire damaged houses. When you need to sell your fire damaged house, you want a buyer who works with these properties every day. We understand smoke and structural issues, insurance timelines and how hard it is to decide what to do next.
You should never feel pushed into a fast decision. Our process is simple so you can see the numbers clearly and decide if selling as is feels right.
Step 1
Tell us your address and a few details about the fire. We review photos and any insurance information you want to share, then schedule a quick visit if needed. There is no cost and no obligation.
Step 2
After we understand the damage and your goals, we present a cash offer in writing. We explain how we decided on the number and how it compares to rebuilding or listing with an agent.
Step 3
If you choose to sell, you choose the closing date. Many sellers close in one to two weeks, others need more time to handle insurance or relocation. You do not make repairs, you do not pay closing costs and you do not pay an agent.
After a fire you usually face three real paths. Rebuild, list with an agent, or sell the fire damaged house as is for cash. There is no one right answer for every family. This comparison can help you see which path fits your situation.

6% Commission Fee

2%-4% Closing Costs

Long, Uncertain Timeline
Closing takes months, and that’s if a buyer can even secure financing.
Costly Repairs Required
You may have to repair the home to attract buyers.
Inspections May Kill the Deal
Failed inspections often lead to termination.
Few Showings Due to Damage
It’s hard to generate interest, and showings will be few and far between.
Appraisal Issues
Fire-damaged houses rarely appraise well, forcing you to lower your asking price.
High Costs, Long Timeframes
Rebuilding is expensive and takes months.
Stressful & Full of Delays
Permits, inspections, and contractors cause uncertainty and stress.
Temporary Housing Needed
You’ll need to find temporary housing while construction is ongoing, increasing your expenses.
Insurance Won’t Cover Everything
Expect to pay out-of-pocket beyond insurance.
Risk of Not Recouping Costs
Even after rebuilding, you might not recover the investment.
Endless Construction Disruptions
Endless noise, dust, and inconvenience during the rebuild.
Dealing with Insurance Claims
Navigating insurance claims can be a lengthy and frustrating process, often resulting in delays.
Potential for Future Issues
Even after rebuilding, hidden structural or smoke damage could cause problems down the line.
In some cases, when insurance payouts are strong and repair costs are high, combining the payout with a cash sale can leave you in a better financial position than before the fire. We walk through this with you using real numbers for your situation, not generic promises.

Many sellers close in one to two weeks once they decide to move forward.
We coordinate paperwork and closing so you can focus on family, work and the insurance process.

Today was the closing of the house. It wasn’t a hassle, and his workers assisted us through the process from the beginning to the end. Sort of felt bad I wasn’t able to clean the property better prior to moving, but luckily, Daniel was very understanding. It’s sad to be parting from my childhood home, but I look forward to the new renovations that maybe done to it. I hope to visit in ten years just to see what happened to my mom’s old house.

A home investor is usually a good fit if you want to move on quickly from a fire damaged house and do not want to manage repairs, contractors or showings. If you prefer a simple sale for cash where the buyer takes the property as it is, an investor like us is often the most practical option.
If you love the location and are comfortable managing a rebuild, or if you are willing to invest time and money into repairs before listing with an agent, rebuilding or a traditional sale might be better for you. Part of our job is to walk through the numbers with you so you can see how selling to us compares to rebuilding or listing and then decide what feels right.
Our offers are based on three things. The current condition of your fire damaged house, the likely cost of repairs and the value of the property after those repairs. We look at your insurance payout, recent sales in your area and the real work needed to bring the house back.
When we make an offer, we show you the numbers in plain english. You see the price we will pay, the closing costs we cover and what you would receive at closing. There are no fees added on top and no surprise deductions, so you can compare our offer with rebuilding or listing and decide whether it feels fair.
No. You do not need to make any repairs before selling your fire damaged house to us. We buy houses in their current condition, even if there is heavy smoke damage, structural issues or unfinished work.
You do not have to clean, clear personal items or finish insurance work before we can make an offer. In most cases, we prefer to take the property as it is so you can focus on your next home and your family instead of managing a construction project.
We buy fire damaged houses across the United States through a combination of our own team and trusted closing partners in each state. The steps are the same whether you live in a large city or a small town.
You tell us about the fire and the property, we review photos and any insurance information you want to share, and we arrange a visit when needed. Once we agree on a price, we work with a local title company or attorney to handle the paperwork and closing. You do not need to travel anywhere special or meet buyers in person. Funds are sent to you at closing just like any other real estate sale.
No. Requesting a quote does not create any obligation to sell your fire damaged house to us.
You can review our offer, ask questions and compare it with other options. If it does not feel right, you can simply say no and keep exploring other paths.
After we buy your fire damaged house, we take on the responsibility and risk of the property. In many cases we coordinate repairs, work with contractors and handle inspections and code compliance. Sometimes we rebuild fully, sometimes we repair and resell, and in some cases we hold the property as a rental.
You do not have to manage or worry about what comes next. Once closing is complete and you receive your funds, you are free from the mortgage, the repairs and the ongoing decisions about the damaged property.
