  1. Selling an “As-Is” Home: Selling “as-is” is the easier option for most of our clients. By selling your house “as-is” you won’t have to deal with managing the process of renovations and, if it’s your primary residence, living through the process. 
  2. Renovation Expenses: The process of a renovation can be lengthy and exhausting. Selling your house after a fire is makes this process much cheaper than the expensive repairs and costs associated with home restoration. Some things to keep in mind when averaging the cost of a renovation is hiring a general contractor, cleaning costs, mandatory inspections and construction permits, not to mention unexpected fines and delays. 
  3. Health Concerns: A fire damaged home still has toxic materials that can cause sickness.

  5. Insurance Company Madness: Who really wants to deal with an insurance company at one of the worst times of their lives? Most likely, not many people because the process can be exhausting and tolling. Since insurance companies are willing to payout settlements based on construction costs, the contents of the fire damaged home and for general inconvenience, our clients can often combine their insurance settlements with our cash offers to finance a new home. 
  6. Emotional Challenges: Being a victim of a fire is traumatizing and can have long term effects on yourself or your family. In the midst of the crisis, it can become difficult to take care of yourself with so many other worries preoccupying your mind especially if your family was also affected. It is not uncommon to have certain feelings or be uncomfortable returning to your home. 
  7. Turning the Page: After dealing with the tribulation that comes from a house fire, some people simply want to start over in a new home. Most people would rather get the cash for their burned down home quickly and move on. Once you and anyone else affected has started to recover emotionally, positive feelings can begin to re-emerge as the focus shifts towards the future. Once you’ve sold your home safety, security and comfort are regained, and life moves forward once again.
