Metroplex Homebuyers purchases Dallas-Fort Worth houses damaged by fire and smoke, in any stage of the insurance claim. You do not need to repair, clean up or board up the house before we make an offer.
An insurance claim that is open or recently settled
A settlement too small to cover the repairs
No insurance, or a lapsed policy
A boarded-up or uninhabitable house
Code notices from the city after the fire
Selling Before or After the Claim Settles
We can buy a fire-damaged house while the claim is still open or after it settles. Who keeps the insurance proceeds, and whether any claim rights pass with the house, is agreed in writing before you accept our offer, so nothing is left to assume.
If you have a mortgage, insurance checks are usually made out to you and your lender together. The title company pays off the loan at closing, which can make it simpler to settle what remains of the claim.
When Repairing and Listing Pays More
A fire-damaged house is not always best sold as-is. When the policy pays recoverable depreciation, the money held back until repairs are finished, a repaired house can sell for much more on the open market.
Through our PriceLaunch program, we can manage the repairs and list the house for sale for you. We will lay out both paths side by side so you can choose.

Recommends Metroplex Homebuyers
Metroplex Homebuyers just bought our house, it was the easiest home sale that we have ever done! Josh walked through our property and took good notes, the that night gave us an awesome offer that started with a great fair market value after rehab, then itemized all the costs that they will have rehabbing and selling the house. It was a great offer and a very transparent process! After the offer was signed into a contract and Brandon took over and kept us informed all the way to closing! If you have a home in the DFW area that needs a lot of love before selling it, and don't have the time or resources to get it in shape, these guys will take great care of you! I highly recommend them!
We buy as-is, including smoke and water damage from firefighting, debris and anything left inside. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest; we handle the cleanup after closing.
Open code violations and related city fines can be settled at closing. We pay the traditional seller closing costs and charge no commission.
If the fire put you out of the house, we can help move what you salvage, and in some cases we can advance part of your proceeds before closing to cover a deposit on your next place.

We were very satisfied with Metroplex's handling of the purchase of our property. They immediately accepted our requested purchase price (not very high because the property
was in rather poor condition) and we closed on the deal 30 days later. Metroplex did exactly what they said they would do when they said they would do it. I highly recommend them if you have a (perhaps run down) property that you need to sell quickly.
The same simple process every seller gets, applied to your situation.

Common questions
Can I sell a house before the insurance claim is settled?
Yes. We agree in writing before you accept our offer on who keeps the insurance proceeds and whether any claim rights pass with the house.
Do I have to clean up after the fire first?
No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest. We handle debris and cleanup after closing.
What if I had no insurance?
We still buy the house. Our offer accounts for the repairs it needs, and there is nothing to fix first.
Will I get more if the house is repaired first?
Sometimes, especially when the policy pays recoverable depreciation after repairs. Our PriceLaunch program can manage the repairs and list the house for you, and we will show you both options.
Who pays the mortgage if the house burned?
The mortgage is paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. Insurance proceeds are often paid jointly to you and your lender, and the title company helps sort out the payoff.
Metroplex Homebuyers gave us the best price for the house we sold, and honored everything they said they would. In addition, their sales agreement was clear and straightforward. All the staff I dealt with were courteous, professional, and helpful, and the title company they work with was very much the same. Overall, this was a very good experience.
Response from Metroplex Homebuyers
Thank you so much David, we really do appreciate it!
Brandon at Metroplex homebuyers was absolutely great throughly the entire process. I would defiantly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Simple, fast, easy, and they gave us the most for our house.
Metroplex Homebuyers made selling my house an extremely easy and worry-free process! Josh came out quickly and made me a great offer on the spot! By the next day, Brandon had contacted me and was in touch with the title company to ensure that the closing went smoothly. Every time I had a question (and I had LOTS of questions) they answered promptly and thoroughly. They were friendly and appreciative of my business! The title company they work with was also wonderful. A notary even came to my house to make my life easier. The house was paid off and money was in my account the next day! I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to sell their house quickly and for a great price.
