Fire or water damage

After a fire or flood, the house is not the only problem. There is an insurance claim, an adjuster, contractors with different opinions, and a mortgage that still needs paying. We are sorry you are dealing with it.

What this situation usually means

Claims move at their own speed, and an open claim can hold up a sale for a long time. While you wait, the house can get worse from moisture, mold, or weather, and the neighbors notice.

You can sell the house and settle the claim separately in some cases, but how your policy treats that is a question for your insurer or an attorney. Selling as-is hands the damaged house to someone who can secure it and take on the repairs.

How Covent helps

  • We buy as-is, including fire, flood, storm, and mold damage.

  • We can work whether your claim is open, settled, or never filed.

  • We secure the house after closing so it stops getting worse.

  • We coordinate with your adjuster or lender where needed, and close in 14 to 60 days of signing.

What we need to look at

  • The address, and what kind of damage and how much.
  • Where the insurance claim stands, if there is one.
  • Whether the house is safe to enter, and how we can get in.
