A fire, flood, hurricane, or burst pipe can turn a home into a money pit overnight. ZalmanBuys buys fire- and water-damaged houses anywhere in Broward County for cash — exactly as-is. No repairs, no contractors, no waiting on an insurance check, and no strangers walking through. We make one written, no-obligation offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 14 days, so you can stop paying to hold a house you can't live in.

Will you really buy a house with fire or water damage?
Yes. We buy Broward County homes with fire, smoke, flood, storm, mold, and structural damage in any condition — including homes tagged unsafe or condemned. You don’t repair or clean anything before selling.
Do I have to settle my insurance claim before selling?
Not necessarily. We can buy with an open claim and coordinate with the title company; in some cases the claim or payout can be assigned as part of the sale. Confirm the details with your carrier or adjuster — this is general information, not insurance advice.
What if the damage is worse than the insurance payout covers?
That’s exactly when selling as-is often makes sense. We factor the real condition into a cash offer so you can walk away instead of funding a rebuild out of pocket.
Can you buy a home with code violations or an unsafe tag?
Yes. We regularly handle homes with code violations, city fines, liens, or an unsafe placard, and work the payoffs through the title company at closing.
How fast can I close and stop paying to hold the house?
As little as 14 days from an accepted offer — or a later date if you prefer. Either way you stop paying to insure, secure, and maintain a house you can’t use.
Written, no-obligation cash offer in 24 hours. No repairs, no contractors, no showings — close in as little as 14 days.
