We Buy Fire Damaged Houses for Cash
We buy fire damaged houses as-is in Florida, New Jersey and nine more states. Smoke damage, a burned kitchen or heavier structural damage: tell us what happened, and we evaluate the house as it stands. No cleanup or rebuild first.
Request a cash offerSell a fire-damaged house without rebuilding
Rebuilding after a fire can mean months of permits, contractors and insurance back-and-forth. A direct sale skips that. Our offer starts from the after-repair value, then subtracts estimated repairs and our margin, so the price accounts for the damage and you don’t pay for repairs up front. See how our offer is calculated.
What to tell us about the fire
Share when the fire happened, which rooms were affected, whether the utilities are on, and whether the house is secured. Photos help, along with any fire department report or notice from the city. Water damage from firefighting matters too. It often affects more of the house than the fire itself.
If you have an insurance claim
Tell us whether a claim is open and where it stands. Your claim and settlement stay between you and your insurer, so confirm with your insurer or adjuster how a sale affects the claim before you sign. If your mortgage lender is named on the policy, it may also need to be involved in the payoff at closing.
How the sale works
We review photos and property details before making the final offer. During an inspection period of about 10 business days, a general contractor or another team member visits to estimate repairs. We usually close 2–3 weeks after that inspection period, subject to title and contract requirements, and can go up to 60 days if you need more time. The price, closing-cost allocation and expiration date are in the written agreement. Mortgage payoffs, liens and other amounts due can reduce what you receive at closing.
Other damage we buy
Fire is one of several conditions we buy as-is. Read about selling a house as-is, a vacant house, or a hurricane-damaged house in Florida. See every condition we buy, including houses with code violations.

Questions about selling a fire-damaged house
Do you buy houses with severe fire damage?
Tell us the extent of the damage. We evaluate each property as it stands, including smoke, water and structural damage. We do not guarantee an offer for every property.
Do I need to clean up or repair the house first?
No. You don’t need to clean, gut or repair the house before requesting an offer. Until closing, keep it secured as your insurer or city requires.
Will a fire-damaged house sell for less?
Yes. The offer reflects the cost of repairs: we start from the after-repair value and subtract estimated repairs and our margin. You can compare that against repairing and listing.
