A Simple Solution After a House Fire
A house fire is devastating. Beyond the damage you can see, there is often smoke and water damage, insurance paperwork and months of rebuilding ahead. We buy fire-damaged homes in any condition, so you can skip the rebuild and move forward with cash in hand.
What Happens After a House Fire in Florida?
After the fire department leaves, homeowners usually need to secure the property, contact their insurance company and get a copy of the fire report. Depending on the damage, the city may limit occupancy until the home is repaired. Rebuilding a fire-damaged home in Broward County often requires permits and inspections, which can take months. Many owners decide they would rather sell than take on that project.
Why Homeowners Sell a Fire-Damaged House
We help Broward County homeowners in situations like these.
Rebuilding Costs Too Much
Structural, electrical and roof repairs after a fire can be more than the owner wants to take on.
Insurance Doesn't Cover Everything
Deductibles, policy limits and exclusions can leave a gap between the payout and the repair bill.
You've Already Moved On
Many families relocate after a fire and don't want to manage a long rebuild.
Smoke and Water Damage
Smoke odor, soot and water damage from firefighting can spread well beyond the burned area.
Vacant and At Risk
A damaged, empty house can attract break-ins and code enforcement attention.
Selling Before or After Your Insurance Claim
You can sell a fire-damaged house before, during or after your insurance claim is settled. How the insurance money is handled depends on your policy, the timing of the sale and your mortgage lender. We recommend confirming the details with your insurance company. Because we buy with cash, we can often close in as little as 7 days once you are ready.
Smoke and Water Damage
Fire damage rarely stops at the burned area. Smoke and soot can travel through the air conditioning system, and water from firefighting can lead to mold, especially in South Florida’s humidity. We factor all of it into our offer, so you don’t need to pay for remediation before selling.
What If the House Is a Total Loss?
Even if the home cannot be lived in, the property still has value. We buy houses with heavy fire damage and can also make an offer based on the land. We will review the property and explain your options.
Rebuild, Repair, or Sell?
Owners of fire-damaged homes usually have a few options.
Rebuild the Home
Using insurance funds to rebuild can work if you have the time and want to stay.
Repair and List It
Fixing the damage and selling on the open market can take months and upfront money.
Sell It
Selling for cash lets you skip the rebuild and close on a timeline that works for you.
