ServicesDamaged Houses
Sell a Damaged House in Sierra Blanca
Fire, water, a failed roof or years of wear. We buy damaged houses as-is, so you skip the repair bids and the wait for contractors. You get a fair cash offer, we cover the closing costs, and you choose the closing date.
Why an as-is sale can beat repairing first
Damaged houses are tough to sell through the normal route. Most buyers rely on a mortgage, and lenders often refuse to finance a house with a failing roof, a fire-damaged kitchen or a cracked slab. So you either pay for repairs before you can sell or watch the value drop while you wait.
We buy the house with the damage left in place. There's nothing for you to repair or clean, and you owe us no commission and no fees. We pay every closing cost that comes with the sale.
Call before the damage spreads. A minor roof leak becomes rotted decking and mold after a few more storms. If you're collecting repair quotes for work you don't really intend to do, seeing a cash offer now lets you plan ahead rather than scramble.
What comes with selling us a damaged house
- Nothing to repair or haul out
- The debris, ruined carpet and old furniture can stay. Take the things you want, and we deal with everything else after the sale closes.
- A contingency-free offer
- No appraisal, no inspection, no financing contingency. A lender's appraiser can't sink the sale over the roof.
- No fees, no commission
- We charge you no commission and no fees, and we pay every closing cost of the sale. At closing, the only amounts taken out are debts already on the property, such as a loan payoff or liens.
- You pick when we close
- Some owners want it done in two weeks or so. Others need a month or longer to go through belongings and find the next home. Name the date and we plan around it.
- Help even if we don't buy
- Some damaged houses aren't a match for us. If our offer isn't the answer, we'll still name someone better suited to your problem, so your call still gets you somewhere.
Signs it may be time to sell the damaged house
The repair bids are more than you can carry
Estimates for a new roof, foundation work or a full rewire can run past what you have saved. Selling as-is turns a stack of bids into a closing date.
Insurance didn't cover all of it
A denied claim or a payout that covers only part of the work leaves a gap. We buy the house with the damage still there, so you aren't stuck funding the difference.
The damage is spreading
Water stains get bigger, floors go soft, mold shows up. Out here, one hard summer storm or a windy spring can turn a patched roof into an open one. Each month the fix costs more.
You're paying for a place nobody can use
Rent somewhere else plus the mortgage, taxes and insurance on a house you can't live in adds up fast.
You're done managing the problem
Calling contractors, chasing bids, driving over to check the place after every storm. Some people just want it settled.
What shapes your cash offer
Every damaged house gets its own number. We look at what the property is worth once it's fixed, then at what it takes to get it there. We walk you through both parts so the offer makes sense before you decide.
Type and extent of the damage
Smoke in a couple of rooms is a smaller job than a roof failure that let water into the walls. Structural problems, like foundation movement, weigh the most.
What may be hidden behind it
Water often spreads into subfloor, framing and wiring where you can't see it. Since we skip the inspection, we build that risk into the offer up front.
Size, layout and lot
Square footage, bedrooms and baths, and the land itself all set what the property is worth after repairs.
Liens and what's owed
A loan balance, back taxes or contractor liens don't stop a sale. They come out of the proceeds at closing, so knowing them early helps you plan what you'll walk away with.

Damaged house questions we hear most
Does the debris have to be gone before closing?
No. Pull out anything you want to keep and walk away from the rest. Burned contents, soaked drywall, broken furniture, all of it can stay. Clearing it out is our job once the sale closes.
My insurance claim is still open. Can I still sell?
Often, yes. How an open claim or a payout fits into a sale depends on your policy and your mortgage, so check with your insurance company. We can explain how it usually works at closing, but your insurer makes the call on the claim. Our offer accounts for the damage either way.
Will you buy a house that can't be lived in?
Yes. Holes in the roof, no power or water, rooms you can't use. We buy damaged houses in the condition they're in. The offer reflects the damage, but there's no repair list for you to finish.
Should I fix a few things to get a better offer?
You can, but it rarely pays off. Small cosmetic work usually doesn't move our number much, and big repairs tie up your money and time. Get the offer first, then decide.
What if I'm not ready to sell yet?
That's a good time to call. Knowing your cash offer now lets you compare it with repair bids and budget before the damage or the bills get worse. There's no obligation to sell.
