Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: October 1, 2026
Last Updated: October 1, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of californiafirehousebuyer.com (the “Website”) and the services offered through the Website by California Fire House Buyer (“California Fire House Buyer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully.

By accessing the Website, submitting property information, requesting a cash offer, or otherwise using the Website, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

The Website provides information concerning the potential sale of real estate, including fire-damaged and distressed properties, and allows property owners and authorized representatives to request potential cash offers.

Depending on the property and circumstances, we may:

Evaluate a property ourselves;
Purchase or seek to purchase a property;
Facilitate a potential cash offer;
Refer or route a property opportunity to an affiliated or independent real estate investor;
Connect a seller with a cash buyer or other potential purchaser; or
Determine that neither we nor another prospective buyer is interested.

Website content does not constitute a binding offer to purchase real estate.

2. Our Role

California Fire House Buyer operates in the real estate investment, cash-buyer, and lead-generation marketplace.

Depending on a particular inquiry, we may act as:

A prospective real estate purchaser;
A real estate investor;
A property-acquisition business;
A marketing or lead-generation platform;
A party connecting sellers with prospective buyers;
An affiliate or business partner of another investor; or
A combination of these roles.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we do not act as your real estate broker, real estate agent, attorney, accountant, financial adviser, tax adviser, insurance adviser, fiduciary, contractor, engineer, or other professional adviser.

3. No Obligation to Sell

Requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell your property.

You may reject a proposed offer unless you have entered into an enforceable written agreement providing otherwise.

4. No Obligation to Purchase

Submitting property information does not require California Fire House Buyer, an affiliate, investor, business partner, or other prospective buyer to:

Evaluate the property;
Make an offer;
Maintain a previously communicated preliminary offer;
Purchase the property; or
Complete a transaction.

5. Eligibility and Authority

By using the Website or submitting information concerning a property, you represent that:

You are at least 18 years old;
You are legally capable of entering contracts;
Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
You own the property, have an interest in the property, or are authorized to communicate about it; and
Your use of the Website complies with applicable law.

If a property has multiple owners, submission by one owner does not establish authority to bind the others.

6. Property Research

When you submit information about a property, you authorize us and parties working with us to research the property using lawful sources.

Research may include:

Ownership records;
County assessor information;
Tax records;
Recorded deeds;
Mortgage and lien records;
Court or probate information;
Foreclosure information;
Sales history;
Comparable sales;
Property characteristics;
Building and permit records;
Mapping information;
Commercial real estate databases; and
Other publicly or commercially available information.

7. Preliminary Offers and Valuations

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a signed written agreement, any:

Cash offer;
Preliminary offer;
Estimated offer;
Property valuation;
Price range;
Repair estimate; or
Other indication of potential transaction value

is non-binding.

Potential offers may take into account:

Property condition;
Fire damage;
Smoke or water damage;
Structural condition;
Location;
Comparable property sales;
Land value;
Estimated repairs;
Demolition or remediation requirements;
Market conditions;
Title;
Liens;
Taxes;
Insurance issues;
Occupancy;
Closing costs;
Holding costs;
Transaction risk;
Buyer demand; and
Information discovered during due diligence.

A preliminary offer may be modified or withdrawn before execution of a binding agreement.

8. Binding Real Estate Transactions

A binding real estate transaction exists only when the applicable parties enter into legally enforceable written transaction documents.

Any actual property purchase may be subject to:

Title review;
Ownership verification;
Property inspection;
Due diligence;
Closing requirements;
Legal disclosures;
Access to the property;
Confirmation of property condition;
Resolution of liens or encumbrances; and
Other conditions established in the applicable agreement.

9. As-Is Purchases

The Website advertises the possibility of purchasing properties in their existing or “as-is” condition.

An “as-is” transaction generally means that a buyer may agree to accept the physical condition of the property subject to the terms of the applicable contract.

An as-is transaction does not automatically eliminate disclosure requirements, fraud rules, contractual obligations, or other duties imposed by applicable law.

The actual rights and obligations of the parties will be governed by the signed purchase agreement and applicable law.

10. California Property Disclosures

California law may require sellers of residential real estate to make disclosures concerning known material facts and property conditions.

Fire, smoke, structural, water, remediation, insurance, permit, repair, and other property conditions may be relevant to those obligations depending on the circumstances and transaction.

You remain responsible for obtaining appropriate advice and complying with disclosure obligations applicable to your transaction.

Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as advice concerning which disclosures are legally required for your particular property.

11. Fast Closing, Cash Offer, and Similar Statements

The Website may advertise:

Cash offers;
Offers within 24 hours;
Closings in seven or ten days;
No repairs;
No agents;
No commissions;
No fees;
Closing costs being covered;
Flexible closing dates;
As-is purchases; or
Other streamlined transaction features.

These statements describe potential transaction structures and do not guarantee that every property or seller will receive identical terms.

Actual terms depend on the property, buyer, title, ownership, condition, due diligence, legal requirements, closing provider, availability of the parties, and other relevant circumstances.

12. Lead Sharing and Buyer Referrals

By submitting a property through the Website, you understand that information concerning you and the property may be evaluated by California Fire House Buyer or provided to affiliated or independent:

Real estate investors;
Cash buyers;
Acquisition partners;
Investment groups;
Property buyers;
Wholesalers;
Redevelopment companies; or
Other real estate businesses that may have an interest in the opportunity.

Such parties may contact you regarding the property consistent with applicable law and the consent you provide.

Independent third-party buyers are responsible for their own conduct, offers, representations, transaction terms, and privacy practices.

We do not guarantee:

That a third-party buyer will make an offer;
The amount of an offer;
A buyer’s financial ability;
The performance of an independent buyer; or
That a transaction with an independent buyer will close.

Depending on the consent provided at the point of collection, communications may occur by telephone or text message.

Where applicable law requires additional consent for automated calls, prerecorded or artificial voice calls, or automated marketing text messages, such communications will be subject to that consent.

Consent to marketing calls or texts is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling a property where prohibited by law.

Message and data rates may apply.

Message frequency may vary.

You may request that text messages stop by replying STOP to an applicable message.

14. Email Communications
