We Buy Damaged Homes Every Condition
- Kitchen fires, electrical fires, and smoke damage
- Burst pipes, roof leaks, and flooded basements
- Mold and moisture problems
- Homes the insurance claim didn’t fully fix – or where the payout ran out
Coordinate With Your Insurance and Mortgage
If you have an open insurance claim, talk to your adjuster before you sell. Insurance proceeds may be payable to you and your mortgage lender jointly. Ken’s mortgage background helps here: we coordinate the payoff and any insurance funds at closing so nothing gets lost.
Repair or Sell As-Is?
Restoration costs and timelines often run past the original estimate. We’ll show you: (a) an as-is cash offer today, and (b) an estimated listing price after repairs, minus realistic repair and carrying costs.
Three Ways to Sell – Compared Side by Side
Most companies give you one option: theirs. Because Ken is a licensed Realtor and a licensed mortgage professional, you get every option in writing so you can choose.
| Sell As-Is for Cash | List on the Open Market | Sell or Keep Your Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repairs | None | Your choice – we advise what pays off | Not applicable |
| Showings | One walkthrough | Yes | None |
| Timeline | You pick the closing date | Typically longer; depends on market | Varies by note |
| Best for | Speed, certainty, homes needing work | Getting top dollar | Owners who sold with seller financing |
You see the numbers for each path, then decide. No pressure, no fee to get the comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell before the insurance claim is settled?
Often yes, but how the claim is handled affects your numbers. Talk to your adjuster and attorney; we’ll work with their guidance.
Is a fire-damaged house safe to tour?
We only enter when it’s safe and permitted. If it’s boarded or condemned, we can often evaluate from records, photos, and a limited inspection.
Do I need a mold inspection first?
No. We buy as-is and account for it in the offer.
What about utilities that are shut off?
Not a problem for a cash sale.
