Can I sell a fire-damaged house in Rochester NY?

Yes. We buy fire-damaged properties in Rochester at any stage — partial damage with smoke and water, structural fire damage, total losses. We assess the land value, salvageable structure, and remediation costs to make a fair offer.

Should I file an insurance claim before selling?

You can file a claim before or after selling. If you've already received an insurance payout, that money is yours. We buy the property as-is in its current damaged condition — you keep any insurance proceeds separately. If a claim is pending, we can sometimes work around the timing.

What if the city has condemned the property?

We have purchased condemned and red-tagged properties in Rochester. Condemnation limits your conventional sale options but not your cash sale options. We can close quickly and take responsibility for addressing the condemnation order.

What happens to my mortgage on a fire-damaged property?

Your mortgage obligation continues regardless of property condition. If the insurance payout isn't enough to cover the mortgage balance, you're still responsible for the difference. Selling for cash often provides a path to payoff the mortgage and escape the carrying costs on an uninhabitable property.
