Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a fire-damaged house in Short Hills without repairing it?
Yes. We buy fire-damaged properties in any condition — from minor smoke damage to total loss. No repairs or demolition required on your end.
What if my insurance claim has not been settled yet?
You can still sell the property. Depending on your situation, you may assign the insurance claim to us at closing or retain the claim proceeds separately. We can discuss both options.
Do you buy houses with smoke damage only?
Yes. Smoke damage, water damage from fire suppression, and structural fire damage are all conditions we buy. The extent of the damage affects the offer but not our willingness to buy.
How do you determine the offer on a fire-damaged property?
We evaluate the lot value, remaining structure, location in Short Hills, and comparable sales of both damaged and rebuilt properties. You receive a transparent breakdown of our valuation.
What if the fire department condemned the property?
We buy condemned properties as well. The condemnation status affects the offer price but does not prevent us from purchasing. We handle all compliance requirements post-closing.
Can I keep the insurance payout and still sell to EasyOffer?
This depends on your insurance policy and mortgage terms. In many cases, the insurance proceeds are applied to the mortgage or used at closing. We help you navigate this to maximize your net proceeds.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
