Call (555) 555-CASHYes. Fire damage is one of the most common conditions we buy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Whether kitchen fire, full structural burn, or smoke-only damage, we make as-is offers. The fire investigation, insurance claim, and rebuild scope all become our responsibility post-close. You take the cash and the insurance check (if any) and walk away.
You typically keep your insurance settlement. We buy the home in its current condition, separately from any insurance proceeds you've received or are owed. In some Florida cases, lenders require insurance proceeds to be applied to repairs or mortgage payoff — we coordinate with your lender at closing to handle this cleanly.
No. BuyHousesInCash can close before, during, or after your insurance claim. Some sellers prefer to close fast and let us handle the claim post-close (we'd own the policy interest). Others want to settle first and pocket the proceeds, then sell to us at the as-is value. Both work — your choice.
Yes. Flooded and uninhabitable Fort Lauderdale, Florida homes are within our normal scope. Flood-damaged homes often have mold, foundation issues, electrical hazards — we buy regardless.

Structural damage — settling, sinkholes, foundation failure, leaning walls — falls within our as-is purchase scope. We've bought Fort Lauderdale homes that needed full demolition. The price reflects the structural reality, but we close. Traditional buyers won't touch structural issues; that's why these properties sit unsold for years before sellers find us.
There's no legal deadline, but practical clocks tick: insurance claim deadlines (typically 1 year from loss in Florida), city safety orders, mortgage default if you can't make payments, mold growth, weather exposure. The longer you wait, the worse the property gets. Call us for a fast offer to lock in current condition.
Step 1: get a cash offer based on photos or brief inspection. Step 2: title company processes the file, including any open Broward County insurance claim. Step 3: sign purchase agreement. Step 4: close at title office. Step 5: insurance proceeds (if any) assign to you or buyer per agreement.
Not necessarily. Florida insurance proceeds can be assigned to you at closing or to the buyer per contract terms. Broward County title companies structure the assignment. Many sellers keep insurance proceeds while still selling the property.
