Sell a Damaged House in Canutillo
Fire, water, a shifting slab or a roof that gave out in a storm does not have to stand between you and a sale. We make a cash offer on the house as it sits, cover the closing costs and let you choose the closing date.
A fair sale without fixing it first
Some damage is simple to price and some is not. A leaking evaporative cooler that rotted a ceiling, smoke from a kitchen fire, a slab that moved and split the stucco: each can scare off a traditional buyer and stall a lender for months. We buy damaged houses for cash, as-is, so none of it has to be solved before you can move on.
There are no repairs, no commissions and no fees on our side. There is also no appraisal, no inspection and no financing contingency, so the sale never hinges on a lender's opinion of the roof.
We handle it the way we would want a neighbor to handle it for us. Straight numbers, a clear reason behind them, and no pressure to say yes.
What you get when you sell to us
- 01
A free 5-minute walk-through
In person or over video, we look at the damage together. It stays short: the affected rooms, the roof line and anything you are worried about, not every mark on the walls.
- 02
A free cash offer you are not bound to
You get a number along with the reasoning behind it. Take as long as you need to think, talk with family or weigh other choices.
- 03
No fixing, no scrubbing
Smoke marks, wrecked drywall and unwanted furniture can all stay. We buy the house in its current state, debris included.
- 04
Closing costs covered by us
We pay every closing cost that comes with the sale, and you owe $0 in fees and $0 in commission. The offer does not shrink once you reach the closing table.
- 05
You set the closing date
Close fast if the house drains money every month, or hold off if you need time to sort belongings and line up your next place.
- 06
A useful referral when we are not the fit
If our offer does not work for you, we still share the best alternative contact we know for your situation. You get it with the call, sale or no sale.
Questions about Damaged Houses?
Call(915) 277-3888Signs a cash sale makes sense for a damaged house
Repair bids are more than you can carry
Once a roofer, a plumber and a drywall crew have all quoted, the total can outrun savings and credit. Selling as-is lets you skip the bids entirely.
An insurance claim stalled or came up short
Claims on older roofs or slow, long-running leaks are often partly denied. We can explain where a sale fits alongside your claim, while your insurer and your policy decide what is covered.
Cracks that point to foundation movement
The expansive soils common in this part of Texas can lift and drop a slab, cracking walls and jamming doors. Many buyers walk away the moment a report mentions structure.
Lenders will not finance it
A missing roof section, no working kitchen or active mold can make a property unfinanceable. That shrinks the field to cash buyers, which is exactly who we are.
You are paying for a house no one can live in
Taxes, insurance and utilities keep coming on a property that sits empty and damaged. If it has also become a target for break-ins, our Vacant & Problem Houses page covers that side too.
How a damaged-house sale works
- 1
A short phone call
Tell us what happened and what condition the house is in now. Rough details are fine; nobody expects a contractor's report.
- 2
The walk-through
We spend about five minutes at the property or on video. We note the damage and ask a few questions about systems, permits and any open claims.
- 3
Your cash offer, explained
We give you the number and walk through how we reached it. There is no deadline pushing you to decide on the call.
- 4
Title and paperwork
Once you accept, a title company checks ownership and any liens. We keep you posted at each step, so you are never left guessing where things stand.
- 5
Closing on your date
You sign on the date you chose and the title company releases the funds. Anything you leave behind stays our concern.
What shapes your cash offer
Every offer starts with what the house would be worth once repaired, then accounts for the work needed to get it there. We show you each piece so the figure makes sense. Because we cover closing costs and charge no commission, nothing is deducted behind it.
- Type and extent of damage
- Smoke odor in one room is a different job from a fire that reached the rafters. A patched roof leak prices very differently from a slab that needs piers.
- Which systems still work
- Working plumbing, wiring, a water heater and a cooling system all carry value. Each one that has failed adds to the repair list a buyer must take on.
- Size, lot and nearby sales
- Square footage, lot size and what comparable properties sell for set the starting point. A house in Canutillo is compared with recent sales nearby, not with the whole region.
- Title, liens and permits
- Unpermitted additions, open code violations or liens take time to clear. We factor them in rather than asking you to fix them first.
What owners ask about selling a damaged house
Should I haul out the debris before selling?
No. Take the things that matter to you and walk away from the rest. Burned furniture, wet carpet and worn-out appliances can stay put, and the cleanup becomes our job after closing.
Is a sale possible with an insurance claim still open?
Often it is. Where the claim money goes depends on your policy and on whether a mortgage lender is named on it, so check with your insurer. We can describe how a sale and a claim tend to fit together, but we do not act as your adjuster.
Will you buy a house with mold, fire or foundation problems?
Yes. Fire, smoke, water, mold and structural trouble are all things we buy as-is. Share what you know about the damage so the offer reflects the real condition.
How soon can we close?
You set the closing date. How early it can be comes down mainly to how quickly the title company clears title, and if anything holds it up, we will tell you straight.
What happens if I turn the offer down?
We thank you and go our separate ways. The walk-through and the offer are free, and declining costs you nothing. We will still pass along the best alternative contact we know for the kind of damage you have, so the call is useful even if you keep the house.
