Selling a fire-damaged or distressed property can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of the unexpected event itself. Whether your home has suffered severe fire damage, smoke damage, or is simply in a distressed condition due to neglect, repairs, or structural problems, one thing remains true: you still have options.
At Results House Buyer, we specialize in helping homeowners sell difficult properties quickly, safely, and without costly repairs. If you’re considering selling your fire-damaged home, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Understanding Fire-Damaged & Distressed Properties
A fire-damaged property is any home affected by flames, heat, smoke, or water used during firefighting.
A distressed property may be affected by:
- Fire or smoke damage
- Water or mold damage
- Structural issues
- Code violations
- Abandonment or disrepair
- Financial distress (pre-foreclosure, liens, etc.)
Traditional buyers often avoid these homes due to repair costs, inspections, and lender restrictions. That’s why many homeowners choose to sell to professional cash buyers who purchase properties “as-is.”
Can You Sell a Fire-Damaged Home?
Absolutely. You can legally sell your property in its current condition—as long as you disclose known damages.
But here’s the challenge:
Most retail buyers won’t make an offer unless the home is repaired.
And insurance rarely covers all repair costs.
This is where companies like Results House Buyer become extremely valuable. We buy homes in any condition and help homeowners avoid the stress of hiring contractors, waiting months, or trying to sell on the open market.
Your Selling Options
Repair the Home and Sell on the Market
Pros:
✔ May bring a higher price
✔ Attracts retail buyers
Cons:
✘ Repairs can be extremely expensive
✘ You may deal with inspections, agents, and long timelines
✘ Insurance may not cover everything
This option only works if you have time, money, and energy for renovations.
Sell the Property As-Is to a Cash Buyer (Most Popular Option)
Pros:
✔ No repairs needed
✔ Fast closing—sometimes in days
✔ No agent fees
✔ No inspections or delays
✔ Cash offer regardless of the damage
Cons:
✘ Cash offer may be lower than retail (but faster and stress-free)
If your home is severely damaged or you want a quick solution, selling as-is is the smartest path.
Sell the Land Only
In cases of extreme damage, the home may not be salvageable.
Some owners choose to sell just the land to investors or builders.
This can still be profitable depending on location.

Investors like Results House Buyer can evaluate:
- The extent of structural damage
- Safety hazards
- Rehab and cleanup costs
- Opportunity for rebuilding or flipping
You don’t need to worry about fixing anything—we handle all the heavy lifting.
