Call (405) 563-7222Can I sell a fire or storm damaged house in Oklahoma?
Yes, including houses that are not currently habitable and claims that are still open. Damaged properties will not pass a lender's appraisal, which removes essentially every financed buyer — so cash buyers are often the only realistic route. Landrun Home Buyers buys fire, smoke, water, storm, and hail-damaged houses across the Oklahoma City metro as-is. Note that who keeps the insurance proceeds is a contract term rather than a default, so make sure it is in writing. No repairs, no commissions, closing in as few as 7 days. Call (405) 563-7222.
Damaged Houses and the Financing Wall
Oklahoma gets serious weather, and the resulting damage creates a specific selling problem. A house with a compromised roof, fire damage, or unresolved water intrusion will not pass a lender's appraisal. That removes essentially every financed buyer, which is most buyers.
Meanwhile the damage often gets worse while you wait — water intrusion leads to mold, a compromised roof leads to more water. Insurance claims take time, contractors are booked after a major storm event, and carrying costs continue the whole while.
Selling As-Is, Mid-Claim
We buy fire, smoke, water, storm, and hail-damaged properties in whatever state they are in — including houses that are not currently habitable and houses where the claim is still open.
One thing to get right: who keeps the insurance proceeds is a term of the contract, not a default. Some sellers retain the payout and accept a lower purchase price; other deals transfer the claim with the property. Both are normal. Just make sure whichever applies is written into the agreement rather than assumed.

Three Steps
How Selling to Us Works
Call Landrun Home Buyers
Tell us about the property, your situation, and what you are hoping to walk away with. It takes about five minutes, by phone or through the form on this site.
Get Your Cash Offer
We look at the property's location, condition, the repairs it needs, and recent comparable sales nearby, then present a clear all-cash offer — often during that first conversation. We will walk you through exactly how we got to the number.
Decide on Your Timeline
If the offer works, we can close in as few as 7 days. If you need longer — to find your next place, to finish probate, to let a tenant move out — we close when you are ready. If it does not work, that is a fine answer too. There is no obligation.

Common Questions
Can I sell a fire-damaged house in Oklahoma?
Yes. We buy properties with fire, smoke, water, storm, and hail damage, including houses that are not currently habitable.
Should I wait for my insurance claim to settle first?
It depends. Sometimes settling first and selling after produces a better total outcome; sometimes the claim drags on while you carry the property. Talk to us and to your adjuster before deciding — and be aware that who keeps the insurance proceeds is a term of the purchase contract, so get that in writing either way.
Can I keep the insurance payout and still sell?
That is negotiable and needs to be explicit in the contract. Some sellers keep the proceeds and accept a correspondingly lower purchase price; in other deals the proceeds transfer with the property. Neither is wrong — just make sure it is written down.
What about storm and hail damage?
Common in Oklahoma and not a problem. Roof damage from hail or wind is one of the most frequent reasons a retail sale falls apart, because lenders will not fund a house with a compromised roof. We buy them as-is.
