The Problem

Selling a Damaged Home the Traditional Way Is an Uphill Battle

In Detroit's market, selling a damaged home the traditional way rarely works.

  • Buyers walk away at first sight of damage or after the inspection report
  • Lenders won't finance homes with unresolved fire or water damage
  • Detroit's older housing stock makes damage harder and more expensive to repair
  • Insurance payouts often fall short of actual repair costs
  • Vacant damaged properties attract additional code violations and fines

The longer a damaged home sits, the more problems compound.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy homes with open city violations from the damage? +
Yes. Detroit BSEED violations related to fire or water damage don’t stop us from making an offer or closing.
Do I need to disclose the damage? +
Yes — Michigan law requires disclosure of known defects. We account for this in our offer from the start.
What kinds of damage do you handle? +
Fire, smoke, water, flood, mold, and structural damage. Older Detroit homes with plaster walls, aging electrical, and brick foundations — we know what we’re looking at.
Will the offer be fair? +
We price based on current as-is value. Most sellers find the avoided repair and carrying costs make the net result comparable to a traditional sale — or better.
How quickly can you close? +
As fast as 14 days. We’ve moved even faster when sellers needed it.
