What We Need From You to Buy Your Fire-Damaged House

Dealing with a fire-damaged property can create more stress than it’s worth. Here’s what we need in order to buy your house and put cash in your bank account.

Your ideal closing date
A rough idea of the house’s current condition
A history of your ownership of the property
Any reasons contributing to you wanting to sell (beyond fire damage)

What to Expect When You Submit Our Form

You’ll receive confirmation that we received your submission, and we’ll reach out to schedule an evaluation at a time that works best for you.

Note: We know that some companies will give you an “instant offer”, but don’t be fooled. It’s impossible to provide an accurate offer without assessing the property. We never lowball or reduce our initial offers, which is why we need to evaluate your house first.

How We CalculateYour Cash Offer

We use a consistent formula to create fair offers for fire-damaged houses.

Our Cash Offer = After Repair Value (ARV) – (Renovation Costs + Our Selling Costs + Our Minimum Profit)

That’s a lot of terminology, so here’s a breakdown of exactly what it all means:

After Repair Value (ARV) Explained

ARV is the estimated value of a house or property after all necessary repairs, restoration, and renovation. We determine ARV by analyzing the sales of similar properties in the area that have been fully renovated.

Renovation Costs (Our Expenses For Repairs)

Fire-damaged houses typically require repairs and improvements to meet local building codes and increase market value. These upgrades can include things like flooring, framing, electrical, and other enhancements that will make the property appealing to buyers.

Resale Costs

When a repaired property is ready for sale there are multiple costs involved, like taxes, utilities, insurance, and escrow fees. Selling to us allows you to bypass real estate commissions and various other fees commonly associated with selling a home.

Because we take on some of these expenses, we need to account for them in our offer. They typically represent around 10% of the property’s After Repair Value (ARV). By covering these costs, we aim to simplify the process and reduce your upfront expenses.

Minimum Profit

Like any business, our mission is to always support our employees and their families, so allowing for a minimum profit for each property purpose is necessary. That said, we also strive to give the best deal possible to our sellers, and it shows in our client testimonials.

Cash Offer Calculation Example

Here’s a quick example of how the formula works with sample numbers.

ARV (After Repair Value):
$350,000

Renovation Costs:
$60,000

Resale Costs:
$36,000

Minimum Profit:
$18,000

Here’s how these numbers plug into our equation:

350,000 - (60,000 + 36,000 + 18,000) = 236,000

In this example, our cash offer for the house would be $236,000 USD.
