Sell a House After a Storm or Hurricane AS IS, Fast, for Cash

You have a few different ways to sell a house after a hurricane or storm.

The Easy Way:

1. Just give us a call so we can stop by for a quick look at your place.
2. The escrow period starts the moment you accept our cash offer.
3. You’ll walk away with cash in your pocket when we close escrow, usually in about 3 to 30 days!

You won't have to pay a dime in closing costs, and our crew will deal with any unwanted stuff you leave in the house.

Simple as that. You can get rid of that storm-damaged house in just a few days without ever picking up a hammer.

The Hard Way:

1. Your first step involves tracking down a realtor who actually knows how to sell storm-damaged properties.
2. Getting the house on the market means you have to fill out the required property disclosure form to lay out all the storm damage and any other issues.
3. The marketing phase for your property begins next. Strangers wandering through your place during endless open houses usually become part of the routine.
4. The waiting game for an offer starts after that. A house with storm damage usually drags out this waiting period quite a bit.
5. Signing the sales contract after you finally accept an offer gets escrow rolling.
6. The buyer's inspectors will need you to open up the house so they can poke around.
7. A fresh round of negotiations usually kicks off once the buyer realizes exactly how much storm damage and other issues need fixing.
8. Securing a mortgage for a storm-damaged house forces the buyer into a tough hunt for the right lender. Banks frequently reject these kinds of loans, leaving you stuck waiting around even longer.
9. Locking down an insurance policy for a property with a history of storm damage adds yet another hurdle for the buyer. That search frequently turns into a major roadblock.
10. Wrapping up escrow means handing over the agent's commission and taking care of your closing costs.

The Really Hard Way:

Taking on the listing process yourself is another route you can take.

1. Handing over a fully completed property disclosure form to anyone interested in the house falls entirely on your shoulders.
2. The success of your sale rests on picking the right way to advertise so you can hopefully track down a buyer who doesn't mind a house with storm damage.
3. Expect some downtime while you wait for a buyer to surface so you can finally ink the sales contract.
4. Tracking down reliable title and escrow companies is the next hurdle before you can officially get escrow opened. Setting up both of these services requires you to gather and submit a mountain of necessary paperwork.
5. The buyer's hired inspectors will need you to unlock your doors so they can thoroughly examine the property.
6. Securing a loan and insurance for the home usually gives the buyer a massive headache, leaving you stuck waiting. Flying solo without a realtor means you have to roll up your sleeves and help the buyer shop around for these services.
7. A cash buyer becomes your only hope if the buyer's search for financing completely falls apart. Relisting the property over and over again is a real possibility until someone with actual funds finally agrees to your asking price and pays cash.
8. Closing escrow finally happens, but it also means shelling out your own money for all the fees and closing costs.

If the easy way is what works best for you, you are just one step away from getting an offer.

The best home selling practice is being upfront with buyers about the damage.

Point out any material defects or safety hazards that could affect the people living in the house. Pretty much anything that drops the market price of the house counts as a material defect.

Even if you’ve made some repairs, storm damage often leaves a house with a lower value than it had before.

New owners could face serious safety risks from things like foundation issues, structural cracks, or black mold that often follow a major storm.

You have to make sure potential buyers know about these problems before they close the deal.

Pretending you didn’t know about the damage might cause you problems in court should the buyer start a litigation.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag — while a storm-damaged house can be a tough sell, we make the whole process feel easy.

Major repairs usually scare off traditional buyers, especially when a storm has caused serious damage. Most people looking for a home simply want to avoid the headache of a fixer-upper.

Our team actually looks for fixers, and we’ve already closed on several storm-damaged houses before.
