Sell a Fire- or Water-Damaged House in St. Louis
Local cash home buyers since 2016. 1,000+ houses bought in St. Louis MO & IL. 4.7 on Google from 65+ reviews. Read Google reviews.
As-is cash offer. No repairs. We typically cover closing costs. About 2 weeks — you pick the date.
You do not have to rebuild before you sell. House Sold Easy reviews fire, smoke, water, storm, and mold-damaged houses as-is and pays cash when the numbers work. Call 636-525-1566 as soon as you can — especially if the house is open to the weather.
We are not an insurance company and we cannot promise to settle your claim. We can buy the house in its current condition.
What we need to know
- When the damage happened and whether the house is boarded
- Whether an insurance claim is open
- City or county notices (condemned, uninhabitable, boarded)
- What you want to do with the remaining personal property
A walkthrough may be limited if the structure is unsafe. We will say so.

Insurance and the sale
Some sellers close after the claim pays. Some assign or keep the check under rules their carrier allows. That is between you, the carrier, and the closer — not a promise we can make in a blog paragraph. Bring the claim number to the conversation.
Common questions
Can I sell before the insurance claim settles?
Sometimes. We review the file. We cannot speed up a carrier.
Do you buy condemned or boarded houses?
We review them. Not every structure is a fit; we will be direct.
What about mold?
Mold is a condition we price, not an automatic no.
Can I keep the insurance check?
That depends on the policy, the mortgage, and the contract. Ask the closer and your carrier.
How fast can you close?
About two weeks when title is clear and we can access the property safely.
Do I need to remediate first?
No. That is the point of an as-is cash sale.
Call 636-525-1566. Local buyers since 2016.
Safety and access
If the house is not safe to enter, say that first. We would rather price from the exterior, the fire report, and photos than put anyone on a bad floor. Board-up receipts and city notices help. If a mortgage lender has already started talking about force-placed insurance or foreclosure, mention that too — see foreclosure.
