ServicesDamaged Houses
Sell a Damaged House in Fabens
A cracked slab, a leaking roof, or fire and water damage usually rules out a regular financed sale. We pay cash for the property in the condition it is in today. You skip the repairs, owe no fees or commission, and set the closing date yourself.
When Selling As-Is Is the Right Call
A damaged house usually stalls because of financing, not looks. A lender's appraiser who sees an active roof leak, a sagging floor joist or exposed wiring will often flag the property, and a financed buyer cannot close until it is fixed. That leaves you paying for repairs before you can sell.
We remove that hurdle. Nothing in our offer depends on an appraisal, an inspection or a buyer's loan approval, which means the damage cannot delay the closing. We price the repairs into the number and walk you through it item by item, so you can see what moved it.
Details decide whether a deal holds together through closing. We pay attention to the small things: what the damage really is, what caused it, and what the title and paperwork need so nothing surprises you at the table.
What Our Damaged House Purchase Includes
A free 5-minute walk-through
We look at the areas that matter most: the roof line, ceilings, slab edges, plumbing and the electrical panel. It is short because we know where damage hides.
A free, no-obligation cash offer
You get a written number based on the house as it stands. You can take time to think it over or turn it down.
No repairs, no cleanout
Leave the burned drywall, the water-stained carpet and the broken fixtures. We handle all of it after closing.
$0 fees and $0 commission
No commission comes out of your proceeds. We also cover all closing costs tied to selling the property.
A closing date you pick
Close soon to stop paying utilities and insurance on a house you cannot live in, or wait until you have moved out.
A referral if we are not the answer
Now and then, selling to us is not the best move for a particular property. If so, we still point you toward the strongest alternative contact we know, and there is no charge for it.
Signs a Damaged House Is Better Sold As-Is
- Stair-step cracks in block or stucco
- Diagonal cracks that follow mortar joints, or doors that stick in their frames, often point to slab movement. Expansive clay soil in the area swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and foundation repair is costly to fix right.
- Ceiling stains after rain
- Brown rings on drywall usually mean the roof decking or flashing has failed. Hard summer storms find every gap, and the wet insulation and framing underneath often need replacing too.
- Fire or smoke damage
- Even a small kitchen fire leaves soot in the ductwork and smoke odor in the framing. Proper restoration means sealing or replacing materials, not just painting over them.
- Plumbing leaks under the slab
- A running water meter with every tap off, warm spots on the floor or a sudden jump in the water bill can mean a slab leak. Reaching the pipe means cutting concrete.
- Repair bids larger than you can carry
- If the contractor quotes are more than you can spend, or more than the repairs would add to the price, an as-is sale often makes sense.
How the Sale Works, Step by Step
- 1
Call and describe the damage
Tell us what happened and when. If there was an insurance claim, let us know where it stands. We explain how it affects the sale, but we do not act as your adjuster.
- 2
The 5-minute walk-through
We check the roof, the foundation, the water damage and the mechanical systems. You do not need to clean or move anything first.
- 3
Your written cash offer
We show the main repair items we priced in, such as roof replacement, slab repair or rewiring. Then you decide, with no pressure and no obligation.
- 4
Title work and closing
A title company checks for liens and clears the paperwork. You close on the date you chose, and we cover the closing costs.
What Goes Into Your Cash Offer
We begin with the house's value once repaired, then take off the actual repair cost and the time the work needs. The better we understand what caused the damage, the more accurate and fair that number becomes.
- Structural or cosmetic
- A moving foundation or failed roof framing costs much more to repair than stained floors or cracked windows. Tracing the cause, not only what you can see, keeps the estimate accurate.
- Moisture you cannot see
- Water trapped behind tile or beneath the subfloor can turn into mold and rot. We check for it so the offer matches the real repair.
- Systems and code work
- A dated fuse panel, galvanized supply pipe or a worn-out water heater adds to the job. Larger repairs may also require permits.
- Size, lot and neighborhood
- Square footage, lot size and nearby comparable sales set the repaired value that the offer rests on.
What Owners of Damaged Houses Ask Us
- Will repairing the damage first raise your offer?
- You do not need to repair anything. We buy the house in its current state, including roof, foundation, fire and water damage. Repairs done right before selling rarely earn back their cost, so we build that work into our price and take care of it after closing.
- Is it possible to sell with an insurance claim still open?
- Usually it is. The answer depends on your policy and the status of the payout, so check your rights with your insurer and adjuster. We will show you how the claim affects our offer, but we are not your adjuster.
- Will you require an appraisal or inspection?
- No. Our offers carry no appraisal, no inspection and no financing contingency. We learn what we need on the walk-through, and the damage will not hold up the closing.
- Do you buy damaged houses beyond Fabens?
- We do. We also buy in San Elizario, Socorro, Horizon City, Sparks and Agua Dulce, following the same steps and offering the same terms.
- What if I do not like your offer?
- You can say no. The offer costs nothing and you owe us nothing. If a different route suits your situation better, we will still pass along the best alternative contact we know.
