Private property reviewStart with safety and official access
Do not enter areas that officials, engineers, or contractors consider unsafe. Tell us whether the property is accessible, boarded, under a vacate order, or subject to fire-department or building-department restrictions. The initial review can begin with documents and photographs when physical access is limited.
Share the known scope of damage
Describe fire location, smoke spread, firefighting water damage, roof or structural problems, utility status, environmental concerns, and any demolition or stabilization already completed. Insurance adjuster reports, contractor estimates, permits, and violation records can help when available.
Insurance claims may affect the transaction
Open claims, issued payments, mortgage-company involvement, repair escrows, liens, and policy requirements may need to be reviewed before closing. Do not assume that selling automatically transfers or resolves an insurance claim; ask your insurer and attorney how the claim applies to your property.
Compare repair and as-is sale costs
Rebuilding may produce a higher finished value but can require time, cash, permits, contractors, and carrying costs. An as-is sale may offer a simpler exit at a lower price. Compare the realistic net result and risk of each path before deciding.
What property owners ask.
Can I sell before repairing fire damage?
A fire-damaged property may be sold as-is if title, safety, insurance, lender, and closing requirements can be satisfied.
Do I need a contractor estimate first?
No. An estimate can help, but it is not required to submit the property for an initial review.
Will you handle my insurance claim?
No. We review the property as a potential buyer and do not act as your insurer, adjuster, contractor, or attorney.
