Had a fire? You can sell the house as it is.
Arbie Real Estate Solutions has worked in New York City 1-4 family distressed real estate since 2008. We buy 1-4 family houses as-is, for cash, in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Nassau County, including houses damaged by fire, smoke and water. You don't need to repair, clean or empty the house first.
First steps after a fire
- Stay out of the house until the fire department or the NYC Department of Buildings says it's safe to enter.
- Call your insurance company and ask what your policy covers.
- Ask your insurer or contractor how to secure the house (board-up, roof tarp, utilities) so the damage doesn't get worse.
- Keep copies of the fire report, all insurance letters, and any DOB or HPD notices.
Repair or sell? Questions to weigh
- Will insurance cover the full cost of rebuilding, or only part of it?
- Who will manage the contractors, permits and inspections, and how long will that take?
- Can you keep paying taxes, insurance and any mortgage while nobody can live in the house?
- Do you want to move back in, or move on?
If rebuilding makes sense for your family, it may be the better choice. If it doesn't, a direct as-is sale is another option.
How selling a fire-damaged house to Arbie works
- Tell us about the house. Request a cash offer or schedule a free consultation.
- We see the property as it is, once it is safe to do so.
- You get a written cash offer. We look at the condition, location, holding cost and renovation costs of the house. There's no obligation to accept, and you can take your time.
- Your attorney reviews the contract. If there is an open insurance claim or a mortgage, your attorney and your insurer will confirm how each is handled at closing.
- Close as-is, with no repairs and no cleanup. You can leave items in the property, and we'll take care of their disposal.
Vacate orders and violations
A fire often brings a DOB or HPD vacate order and new violations. We buy houses as-is, including houses under a vacate order and with open violations. Tell us what's on record and we'll review it with you. See also violations and judgments.
