A+ BBB Accredited300+ Ohio Homes Purchased Since 2016Locally Owned · Since 2016Real Story: Michael R., Ruskin Rd, Dayton OH
Michael's rental property suffered extensive fire damage. Dealing with the insurance company was one thing — but finding a buyer willing to take on a fire-damaged house was another. We closed in 10 days.

After the fire, I thought I'd be stuck with a worthless property for months while fighting the insurance company. EZ Sell Homebuyers gave me a fair cash offer and closed in 10 days. They handled everything while I was dealing with insurance and I was able to walk away clean. I didn't have to manage a single contractor or permit.

Cash Sale vs. Waiting for a Traditional Buyer
| EZ Sell (Cash) | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-listing repairs | None | $20k–$80k+ for fire damage |
| Time to close | 7–14 days | 90–180 days |
| Insurance required | No — sell at any stage | Usually required first |
| Liability while waiting | Gone at closing | Yours for months |
| Showings & inspections | None | Difficult with damage |
| Commissions | None | 5–6% of sale price |
| Certainty of close | Guaranteed cash | Subject to financing |
A fire-damaged property sitting vacant accumulates insurance liability, vandalism risk, and ongoing carrying costs. The longer it sits, the more it costs you. A cash sale ends that immediately.
