DAMAGED · SELLING
Fire, water, or storm damage? Let's look at reality
A damaged house still has value — often more than you think, and sometimes more than the cost to repair would suggest. Whether insurance covers you or not, here's how to evaluate your actual options.
1. Assess the real damage
A contractor-grade scope of the damage and a professional estimate — so you're deciding from facts, not guesses or fear.
2. Insurance vs. out-of-pocket
If your claim is approved, repair-and-sell may net you more. If not, 'as-is' sale routes have their own math. We show both.
3. Sell as-is or repair-sell
Two clean price paths with timelines: exit now, or repair for maximum value. Your call — with real numbers on the table.
Must I repair before selling a damaged house?
No. You can sell any house as-is — the buyer takes on the repairs. The real question is which route nets you more after costs; that's the comparison we run for you.
