Selling a Fire-Damaged House in Massachusetts

After a fire, the last thing you want is to pour money into repairs on a house you are trying to leave behind. We buy homes with fire and smoke damage in any condition, from a small kitchen fire to a total loss.

We make one fair cash offer, skip the contingencies, and let you pick the closing date. You can sell while an insurance claim is still open or after it has settled, and you keep any claim proceeds.

There are no agent commissions, no repair estimates, and no staging. We buy the home as it stands and close with a local Massachusetts attorney.

Simple Process

Sell a Fire-Damaged Home in 3 Easy Steps

No open houses, no waiting for financing, no surprises at the closing table. Just three straightforward steps from first contact to cash in hand.

  1. Tell Us About Your Property

    Fill out the short form or call us at (617) 539-6162. Share basic details about the property, the damage, and where you are with any claim. Takes less than two minutes.

  2. Receive Your Cash Offer

    We review the details, research recent local comps, and deliver a fair, written cash offer within 24 hours. No obligation to accept, just a clear number you can evaluate on your own terms.

  3. Close on Your Schedule

    Accept the offer and choose your closing date. Two to four weeks from a signed agreement is the normal case, and we confirm the date once the closing attorney has checked title. We handle the paperwork, cover closing costs, and wire your payment at closing.

We Buy Fire-Damaged Homes for Cash and Handle the Rest

Most sellers are surprised by how little they need to do. We designed our process to put the work on our side, not yours.

No Cleanup Required

Leave the furniture, the junk in the basement, the items in the attic. Take what matters to you and walk away. Our team handles full cleanout at our cost, zero charge to you.

We Make All Repairs

Deferred maintenance, cosmetic damage, major system failures: we factor repair costs into our offer and handle everything post-closing. You'll never need to call a contractor.

Zero Out-of-Pocket Costs

We cover the standard closing costs and charge no commissions or fees, so you write no checks to sell. What still comes out of the proceeds is anything secured against the property: your mortgage payoff, property taxes and municipal charges, and any water and sewer balance.

Any Condition

What Selling After a Fire Looks Like

Fire and smoke damage put a house outside what most buyers and their lenders will touch. Repairs are expensive and slow, and a financed buyer usually cannot close on a home with serious damage, which leaves many owners stuck.

A cash sale removes that hurdle. We buy homes across the full range of fire damage, from a contained kitchen fire to a total loss, and price the condition in honestly. There is nothing for you to repair, clean, or haul away.

You can sell while an insurance claim is open or after it settles, and the claim and the sale stay separate, so you keep your policy proceeds. We close through a licensed Massachusetts attorney on a timeline that works for you.

Every situation is different, and we are happy to walk through how the timing usually works with an open claim. There are no commissions and no fees on your side.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions owners ask after a fire. Don't see yours? Call or text us directly.

Call or text us directly

Can I sell a house that is a total loss?

Yes. We buy homes across the full range of fire damage, including total losses. We look at the property as it is and make a cash offer on that basis.

Do I have to finish my insurance claim first?

No. You can sell during an open claim or after it settles. We can work around your timing, and you retain any proceeds from your policy.

Do I need to clean up the smoke and debris?

No. You can leave the house exactly as it is. We take care of cleanup and repairs ourselves after closing.

Are there taxes when I sell a fire-damaged home?

There can be, depending on your situation and any insurance payout. We are not tax advisors, so we recommend confirming with a CPA.

How fast can we close?

Because our offers are cash, closings often happen within a few weeks once you are ready to move forward.

There Is More Than One Way To Sell This House

A cash sale is not automatically the right answer, and we would rather tell you that now than at the closing table

The “Sell it to us for cash” Option:
We buy it as it stands. You clear out what you want and leave the rest. No repairs, no cleaning, no showings.
  • Closes in two to four weeks
  • Nothing for you to do
  • Lowest of the three prices
The “List it with an agent” Option:
If the house is sound and you are not in a hurry, this usually nets the most. We do not list houses, but we can point you at agents we know.
  • Usually the highest price
  • Takes as long as it takes
  • The most work for you
The “We do the work, then list it” Option:
We pay for the cleanup and cosmetic work, agree a number you walk away with, and it goes on the market. You pay nothing at any point.
  • You pay nothing, ever
  • Your number agreed up front
  • Around 90 days, and lands in between

Not sure which one you are? That is normal, and it is the conversation rather than the website that sorts it out. Tell us the address and roughly what the house needs, and we will tell you which route we think fits and why, including when the answer is that you should be talking to an agent rather than to us.
