Rebuilding to sell versus selling it the way it is
Some owners restore the house and list it. Others would rather be done with it. Neither is wrong; it comes down to what the repairs will cost, how long you can carry the house, and what you want next.
Restore it and list it
- A fully restored house can bring a stronger price
- You fund and manage the rebuild before listing
- Smoke odor has to be fully removed or buyers will notice
- Most buyers’ lenders won’t finance a house that isn’t livable
- Commission and seller costs come off the top at closing
Sell it to us as-is
- No rebuild, no restoration bills, no contractors to chase
- We make our offer on the house the way it is right now
- No buyer financing to fall through
- No commissions, fees, or closing costs on your end
- You set the closing date
How it works
From fire damage to closing day
Reach Out
Call or fill out the form with the address and a little about what happened. We'll ask what's still standing and when you'd like to be done.
Marcus Sees It in Person
He'll walk the house with you, or on his own if you'd rather not go back inside. Leave it exactly as it is.
You Get a Clear Offer
We put the offer in writing and walk you through the numbers. Say yes and we close with a local title company on your schedule.
The kinds of fire-damaged houses we buy
Kitchen and electrical fires
Contained to one area but enough to make the house unlivable. We'll look at what needs fixing and account for it ourselves.
Heavy structural damage
Burned roof, charred framing, walls that need to come down. If the house is still standing, we can talk about it.
Smoke damage throughout
The flames stayed in one room but the smoke reached every other one. Lingering odor and stained ceilings are fine by us.
Sitting empty since the fire
Utilities cut, windows boarded, weeds growing. If it's been months or even years, we'll still come take a look.
Stalled insurance or rebuild
The payout didn't cover it, or the rebuild stopped partway. Houses stuck between fire and finished are ones we buy regularly.
Belongings left inside
Going through what's left can be hard. Take anything you want to keep, and we'll deal with everything else after closing.
