Call (555) 555-CASHYes. Fire damage is one of the most common conditions we buy in Somerville, Massachusetts. 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 Massachusetts 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 Somerville, Massachusetts 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 Somerville 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 Massachusetts), city safety orders, mortgage default if you can't make payments, mold growth, weather exposure.
