Cleveland's Most Trusted Cash House Buyers Since 2016
There was a fire from an electrical malfunction. The whole side of the house was burnt. We couldn’t even find an electrician willing to take it on. At some point you have to ask if it’s worth fixing.
– Ron, speaking for Don
Don bought the house in 2018 for $15,000. Then there was a fire, electrical malfunction, the whole side of the house burnt, damage in one of the upstairs bedrooms and possibly the living room. Ron, his friend who spoke English and was helping him communicate, described it directly: “I wouldn’t say it’s a teardown but it’s substantial.” The bigger problem: they couldn’t find an electrician willing to take on the job. Cost estimates ran $15,000 to $20,000 just for the rebuild, with electrician labor alone running into thousands of dollars. In a neighborhood of older houses, Ron wasn’t sure renovating made sense at all. They told the team upfront: any offer would need to be “really really low, probably couple of thousands of dollars.” They valued the property as-is around $12,000 to $15,000.
The buyer took the property without needing trades to commit first.
The team didn’t pretend the damage was cosmetic.
He could stop trying to source contractors who wouldn’t return calls.
A fire-damaged house, contractors who wouldn't return calls, and a buyer who took the rebuild scope as their own
A non-livable, fire-damaged house in a neighborhood of older homes doesn’t list. Lender financing is out. Insurance had its own complications. The retail buyer pool for a substantial-fire house is basically other investors, and Don was already trying to find one.
Chris approached the property with realistic eyes. The team didn’t insult Don with a sight-unseen number and didn’t promise more than the math supported. The buyer planned for the substantial rebuild scope.
The contract came together within about a week. Ron stayed in the loop as Don’s English-speaking advocate. No additional contractor estimates were required.
The deal closed. Don stopped trying to find an electrician. He stopped paying property taxes on a non-livable house. The fire-damage problem became someone else’s.
