What You Should Do Before Selling
You don’t need to clean or repair anything, but some simple steps help:
- Secure personal belongings
- Document damage for your records
- Contact your insurance company
- Avoid attempting repairs yourself
- Identify safety hazards (loose wiring, unstable flooring)
Cape Fear Cash Offer evaluates homes in any condition, so no prep work is required — but being organized can speed up the process.

Understanding How Cash Buyers Evaluate Fire-Damaged Homes
Unlike traditional buyers, cash buyers focus on:
- Structural integrity
- Cost of repairs
- Market conditions
- Location
- Fire severity
They do not require:
- Inspections
- Appraisals
- Lender approval
- Cleaning
- Repairs
This makes selling much faster and easier.
What to Expect During the Sale
Cape Fear Cash Offer follows a simple 3-step process:
- Inspection & walk-through (15–30 minutes)
- Cash offer delivered within 24 hours
- Closing in as little as 7–14 days
You choose the timeline. You pay no closing costs or realtor commissions. You walk away from the property as-is with cash in hand.
