No. We purchase fire-damaged houses in Clovis exactly as they sit, including all debris, damaged furnishings, and personal property you choose not to salvage. All cleanup, debris hauling, and hazmat abatement are handled by our crews after closing. You can remove sentimental items or salvageable belongings on your own timeline before closing, but there is no requirement to clean, clear, or prepare the property in any way.

Home Helpers structures cash offers to account for outstanding property taxes, municipal liens, and code enforcement fines in Curry County. We work directly with the Clovis city offices and county tax assessor to obtain payoff amounts, which are deducted from the purchase price and paid at closing to deliver clear title. You will never write a check to satisfy liens or violations. We handle all payments through the closing settlement statement.

Our offer calculation starts with current Clovis lot value based on comparable vacant land sales in your zip code, then adds remaining structure value if portions of the home are salvageable. We subtract estimated demolition costs, debris removal, utility disconnection, and title clearance expenses. But unlike other buyers, we never deduct repair costs because we're not repairing the property for resale. The result is a net cash figure you'll receive at closing with no hidden fees or last-minute renegotiation.

Yes. We buy fire-damaged houses Clovis properties after insurance settlements close regularly. If your insurance carrier issued a payout and you've decided not to rebuild, we coordinate with the carrier to confirm any lien or subrogation interest is satisfied at closing. In most cases, insurance payouts are yours to keep, and the sale of the property is a separate transaction. We work with your insurance adjuster and attorney to ensure all documentation is properly recorded in Curry County.

Home Helpers purchases all property types affected by fire in Clovis, NM, including single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings in zip codes 88101 and 88102. Investment properties with fire damage face even longer traditional sale timelines than owner-occupied homes due to commercial lending restrictions, making cash sales the most efficient exit strategy. We evaluate rental properties based on lot value and any remaining rental income potential if portions of the structure are habitable.

You'll need proof of ownership (deed or title policy), a government-issued photo ID, and any mortgage or lien documentation if applicable. We handle all title search, title insurance, and closing document preparation through a licensed New Mexico title company. If your original deed was lost in the fire, we coordinate with the Curry County Clerk's office to obtain certified copies. The entire documentation process is managed by our transaction coordinator. You'll only need to sign final closing papers.

Traditional home sales require the property to be in financeable condition, which fire-damaged structures rarely are. Even after repairs, lenders scrutinize fire history and may deny loans based on prior loss. Buyers must qualify for financing, pass inspections, and complete appraisals that fire-damaged properties routinely fail. Selling to Home Helpers eliminates all those steps: no repairs, no inspections, no appraisals, no buyer financing contingencies. We provide a cash offer based on current condition, close with a simple purchase agreement, and transfer ownership through a standard warranty deed recorded in Curry County.
