Sell Your House With Fire Damage in California — Fast Cash, No Repairs, No Stress!

Thinking of selling a fire-damaged property, but don’t know where to start? You are not alone. Many California homeowners find themselves stuck with homes damaged by fire, from minor smoke and soot damage to major structural destruction that makes the property uninhabitable.

The costs of restoration add up fast, and the stress can feel quite overwhelming.

With Osborne Homes, you don’t have to repair a thing. We are a trusted, well-established real estate investment specialist and one of few companies that buy fire-damaged homes for cash, and can close in as few as seven days.

Selling a Fire-Damaged Property the Simple Way

That means you don’t clean up debris, board up windows, or hire contractors to assess the damage. You can leave the charred walls, the smoke-stained ceilings, the water damage from firefighting, and everything else exactly as it is. Sell your fire-damaged house in any condition, exactly as it stands today.

Selling a House With Fire Damage? The Traditional Way Is a Headache!

Trying to sell a house with fire damage through a traditional real estate agent can quickly become a frustrating and expensive ordeal for many reasons, including:

Selling a house with fire damage requires specialised marketing, attracts fewer buyers, and takes far longer to sell.

Most buyers rely on mortgages, and lenders won’t approve loans for homes with significant fire damage. Your pool of potential buyers shrinks to cash investors, and many of them will try to lowball you.

Even with a decent settlement, the gap between what insurance pays and what repairs actually cost can be huge.

Contractors who specialise in fire restoration are often booked out for months. Meanwhile, you’re paying the mortgage, insurance, and taxes on a house you can’t live in.

Fire Damage? We Handle It All — No Exceptions!

When we say we buy fire-damaged homes, we really mean it. Osborne Homes will buy properties in any condition. That includes:

Smoke and Soot  Damage

Professional remediation is expensive and time-consuming, and the smell can linger for months even after cleaning. We buy homes with smoke damage and handle all the restoration ourselves.

Structural Fire  Damage

Fire repairs require engineering assessments, permits, and specialised contractors that most homeowners don’t have access to. We purchase properties with structural fire damage every month.

Water Damage From  Firefighting

The thousands of gallons of water used to extinguish fires often cause damage of their own. We take on these properties knowing exactly what’s involved in the restoration.

Total Loss  Properties

Sometimes there’s not much left to save. If your home has been declared a total loss by your insurance company or the structure is beyond repair, we can still make you a cash offer for the land and any remaining items.
