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.
Our No-Hassle Guarantee
We make fair offers and follow through on every deal. Eighteen years and over 5,000 California properties later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve built our reputation on doing what we say we’ll do!
Our No-Hassle Guarantee means:
- Our cash offer is transparent and based on the property's condition at the walkthrough
- You pay zero fees, zero commissions, and zero closing costs
- You choose the closing date that works for your schedule
- Every detail is provided in writing before you commit to selling a fire-damaged home

Selling a Fire-Damaged Home — FAQs
Can I sell my fire-damaged house without making repairs?
Yes. We buy fire-damaged homes as-is, meaning you don’t need to make any repairs, clean up debris, or prepare anything. We handle all of that after closing.
How do you determine your offer on a fire-damaged property?
Our offer is based on the property’s current condition, the extent of the damage, location, and local market values. We provide a transparent breakdown, so you understand exactly how we arrived at our number.
Will you change the offer after seeing the damage in person?
What if my insurance claim is still pending?
We can still make an offer. Many homeowners who sell fire-damaged properties choose to sell rather than wait months for insurance settlements and contractor availability.
How fast can I actually close?
We can close in as few as seven days. However, you choose the closing date, and if you need more time, we’ll work with your schedule.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. We pay all closing costs, and there are no agent commissions or hidden fees. The offer we make is the amount you receive.
