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 utahfirehousebuyer.com (the “Website”) and services made available through the Website by Utah Fire House Buyer, also operating under the name Sell Fire Damaged House Utah (“Utah Fire House Buyer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Please read these Terms carefully.
By accessing the Website, submitting information concerning a property, 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 allows property owners and authorized representatives to submit information regarding real estate they may wish to sell, including:
- Fire-damaged properties;
- Smoke-damaged properties;
- Water-damaged properties;
- Structurally damaged properties;
- Distressed properties;
- Vacant properties;
- Inherited properties;
- Probate properties;
- Properties facing foreclosure;
- Properties requiring substantial repairs; and
- Other residential or investment properties.
Depending on the property and circumstances, we may:
- Evaluate the property ourselves;
- Purchase or seek to purchase the property;
- Facilitate a potential cash offer;
- Match the seller with a local cash buyer;
- Refer or route the opportunity to an affiliated or independent investor;
- Connect the seller with another prospective purchaser; or
- Determine that neither we nor another prospective buyer is interested.
Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.
2. Our Role
Utah Fire House Buyer operates within the real estate investment, cash-buyer, property-acquisition, marketing, and lead-generation marketplace.
Depending on a particular inquiry, we may act as:
- A prospective purchaser;
- A real estate investor;
- A property-acquisition business;
- A marketing or lead-generation platform;
- A service connecting property owners with local cash buyers;
- An affiliate or business partner of another investor; or
- A combination of these roles.
Unless expressly established through a separate written agreement, we do not act as your:
- Real estate broker;
- Seller’s real estate agent;
- Attorney;
- Accountant;
- Financial adviser;
- Tax adviser;
- Insurance adviser;
- Public adjuster;
- Contractor;
- Engineer;
- Fiduciary; or
- Other professional adviser.
3. No Obligation to Sell
Submitting information through the Website or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell your property.
A Website inquiry is not a purchase agreement.
You may decline a proposed offer unless and until you enter into a legally enforceable written agreement providing otherwise.
4. No Obligation to Purchase
Submitting property information does not require Utah Fire House Buyer or any:
- Affiliate;
- Cash buyer;
- Real estate investor;
- Wholesaler;
- Acquisition partner;
- Property-acquisition company;
- Contractor; or
- Other prospective purchaser
to:
- Evaluate the property;
- Make an offer;
- Maintain a previously discussed offer;
- Continue negotiations;
- Purchase the property; or
- Complete a transaction.
5. Eligibility and Authority
By using the Website or submitting property information, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years old;
- You have legal capacity to enter contracts;
- The information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- You own the property, have an ownership interest, or are authorized to communicate concerning the property; and
- Your use of the Website complies with applicable law.
If multiple people own the property, submission by one person does not necessarily establish authority to bind all other owners.
6. Property Information
We may request information concerning:
- Property address;
- Property type;
- Property condition;
- Fire damage;
- Smoke damage;
- Water damage;
- Structural damage;
- Electrical damage;

- When you purchased or acquired the property;
- Your reason for considering a sale;
- Occupancy;
- Repairs;
- Permits;
- Insurance claims;
- Ownership;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Taxes; and
- Other matters relevant to a potential transaction.
You agree not to knowingly provide materially false, fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized information.
7. Property Research
When you submit a property, you authorize us and parties evaluating the property opportunity to research the property using lawful sources.
Research may include:
- County assessor records;
- County recorder records;
- Property tax records;
- Recorded deeds;
- Ownership records;
- Mortgage records;
- Liens;
- Encumbrances;
- Court records where legally available;
- Probate records;

- Building permits;
- Zoning information;
- Sales history;
- Comparable property sales;
- Estimated values;
- Property characteristics;
- Mapping information;
- Commercial real estate databases; and
- Other publicly or commercially available information.
8. Matching With Local Cash Buyers
The Website may facilitate connections between homeowners and prospective local or regional cash buyers.
After reviewing information about your property, we may connect you with an affiliated or independent:
- Cash buyer;
- Real estate investor;
- Property-acquisition company;
- Wholesaler;
- Investment group;
- Redevelopment company;
- Contractor;
- Acquisition partner; or
- Other prospective purchaser.
A prospective buyer may independently:
- Research the property;
- Contact you;
- Evaluate the property;
- Estimate repairs;
- Conduct due diligence;
- Determine an offer amount;
- Negotiate transaction terms; and
- Enter into a transaction with you.
Independent buyers are responsible for their own:
- Representations;
- Offers;
- Valuations;
- Due diligence;
- Contracts;
- Financing;
- Privacy practices;
- Regulatory obligations;
- Performance; and
- Compliance with applicable law.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Utah Fire House Buyer does not guarantee the conduct or performance of an independent third-party buyer.
9. Preliminary Offers and Valuations
Any:
- Cash offer;
- Preliminary offer;
- Estimated offer;
- Price range;
- Property valuation;
- Repair estimate; or
- Similar indication of potential transaction value
is non-binding unless expressly made binding through a legally enforceable written agreement.
A preliminary offer may be modified or withdrawn before execution of a binding contract.
10. Offer Calculations
The Website may describe an offer calculation substantially similar to:
Potential Offer = After-Repair Value – Repair Costs – Selling Costs – Investor Return
This formula is illustrative.
A prospective buyer may use different:
- Assumptions;
- Percentages;
- Cost estimates;
- Repair estimates;
- Valuation methods;
- Risk assessments; or
- Investment criteria.
Factors considered may include:
- After-repair value;
- Current property condition;
- Fire damage;
- Smoke damage;
- Water damage;
- Structural damage;
- Electrical damage;
- Location;
- Comparable property sales;
- Repair costs;
- Renovation costs;
- Demolition costs;
- Environmental or remediation expenses;
- Insurance conditions;
- Property taxes;
- Utilities;
- Title expenses;
- Closing expenses;
- Holding costs;
- Market conditions;
- Buyer demand;
- Investment risk;
- Desired investment return;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Occupancy; and
- Information discovered through due diligence.
No particular offer amount or mathematical formula is guaranteed.
11. Binding Real Estate Transactions
A binding real estate transaction arises only when the applicable parties execute legally enforceable written transaction documents.
A transaction may be subject to:
- Verification of property ownership;
- Verification of authority to sell;
- Title review;
- Due diligence;
- Property access;
- Inspection;
- Confirmation of property condition;
- Resolution of liens or encumbrances;
- Closing requirements;
- Required legal disclosures;
- Municipal requirements;
- Title-company requirements;
- Escrow requirements; and
- Other conditions identified in the applicable contract.
12. As-Is Property Sales
The Website advertises the possibility of purchasing properties in their current or “as-is” condition.
An as-is transaction may allow a seller to complete a transaction without making repairs requested by a particular buyer.
However, an as-is transaction does not automatically eliminate obligations concerning:
- Fraud;
- Misrepresentation;
- Concealment;
- Known material defects;
- Required disclosures;
- Title;
- Contractual representations; or
- Other obligations imposed by applicable law.
The legally binding purchase agreement and applicable law determine the effect of any as-is provision.
13. Utah Property Condition Disclosures
Utah real estate transactions may involve written property-condition disclosures depending on:
- The transaction;
- The contract used;
- The parties;
- The property; and
- Applicable law.
Utah’s standard residential real estate purchase contract includes provisions concerning seller disclosure of certain known property defects and delivery of a written seller property-condition disclosure.
A private transaction using a different contract may not operate identically to a transaction using the standard form.
Regardless of the form used, an as-is sale does not authorize fraud, intentional concealment, or intentional material misrepresentation.
Fire damage, smoke damage, structural problems, water damage, repairs, insurance claims, permit issues, and other known property conditions may be relevant to a potential buyer and to contractual or legal disclosure obligations.
You are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal advice regarding disclosures required for your specific transaction.
Nothing on the Website constitutes individualized legal advice regarding seller disclosure obligations.
14. Fire Damage and Material Property Conditions
A fire-damaged property may involve conditions including:
- Structural damage;
- Smoke contamination;
- Water damage from firefighting activities;
- Mold;
- Electrical damage;
- Plumbing damage;
- HVAC damage;
- Roof damage;
- Foundation damage;
- Hazardous materials;
- Environmental conditions;
- Building-code issues;
- Permit issues;
- Insurance claims;
- Prior repairs; and
- Incomplete or unpermitted work.
You should not intentionally conceal known material information concerning the property.
Nothing on the Website authorizes concealment, fraud, or misrepresentation.
15. Property Inspections and Due Diligence
The Website may advertise:
- No inspection;
- No formal inspection;
- As-is purchases;
- No appraisal contingency;
- No financing contingency; or
- Similar streamlined transaction practices.
These descriptions refer to potential transaction structures that certain cash buyers may offer.
They do not prevent a purchaser from conducting legally permitted due diligence and do not override any rights included in a signed purchase agreement.
A particular buyer may choose to:
- Inspect the property;
- Obtain contractor estimates;
- Review fire reports;
- Review insurance information;
- Review permits;
- Review title;
- Conduct environmental testing; or
- Perform other due diligence.
The actual rights of the parties are determined by the executed transaction documents and applicable law.
16. Fast Closing and Similar Advertising Statements
The Website may advertise:
- Cash offers in approximately 24 hours;
- Closings in approximately 7 days;
- Closings in approximately 10 days;
- Fast closings;
- Flexible closing dates;
- No repairs;
- As-is purchases;
- No real estate-agent commissions;
- No seller fees;
- Buyer-paid closing costs;
- No financing contingencies;
- No appraisal contingencies; or
- Similar streamlined transaction features.
These statements describe transaction structures that may be available.
They do not guarantee that every property or seller will receive identical timing or terms.
Actual timing and terms may depend on:
- Property condition;
- Ownership;
- Title;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Buyer availability;
- Property access;
- Due diligence;
- Required disclosures;
- Title-company requirements;
- Escrow requirements;
- Legal requirements; and
- Other circumstances.
17. Closing Costs, Fees, and Commissions
Where a prospective buyer agrees to:
- Pay particular closing costs;
- Structure a transaction without a listing agent;
- Charge no seller commission;
- Charge no particular seller fee; or
- Cover title or settlement expenses,
the specific obligations of the parties will be determined by the executed transaction documents.
Website statements such as “no fees,” “no commissions,” or “we cover closing costs” do not override the terms of an executed agreement.
18. Foreclosure and Financial Distress
The Website may be used by homeowners:
- Behind on mortgage payments;
- Facing default;
- Facing foreclosure;
- Experiencing financial distress; or
- Seeking a rapid property sale.
We are not your lender, loan servicer, attorney, credit counselor, financial adviser, or housing counselor unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.
Selling a property may be one possible option but is not necessarily the only option available to a homeowner experiencing mortgage difficulty.
You may wish to consult:
- Your lender;
- Your loan servicer;
- A Utah attorney;
- A HUD-approved housing counselor;
- A tax professional; or
- Another qualified adviser
before making a decision.
19. Foreclosure Rescue Activities
Utah law regulates certain activities represented as helping borrowers prevent foreclosure in connection with transactions involving residential real property.
Nothing on the Website is intended to represent that Utah Fire House Buyer:
- Is acting on behalf of your lender;
- Has a special relationship with your lender or loan servicer;
- Is acting on behalf of a governmental agency;
- Is acting on behalf of a nonprofit organization;
- Guarantees that foreclosure can be stopped; or
- Is providing foreclosure-rescue or loan-modification services unless expressly agreed in legally compliant written documentation.
You should continue communicating with your:
- Lender;
- Loan servicer;
- Attorney;
- Credit counselor; and
- Housing counselor
when appropriate.
You should not redirect mortgage payments to us unless a lawful written transaction specifically requires a payment and you have independently confirmed that obligation.
20. Probate and Inherited Property
The Website may accept inquiries regarding inherited or probate properties.
Submitting a property that is part of an estate does not establish that the person submitting the information has legal authority to sell it.
A transaction may require:
- Probate-court authorization;
- Personal representative authority;
- Trustee authority;
- Consent of heirs;
- Appropriate deeds;
- Affidavits;
- Title documentation; or
- Other evidence of authority.
We may require confirmation of authority before completing a transaction.
21. Insurance Claims and Fire-Damage Proceeds
A fire-damaged property may be subject to an active or completed insurance claim.
We do not act as your:
- Insurance company;
- Insurance agent;
- Public adjuster;
- Insurance attorney; or
- Insurance adviser
unless expressly stated through a separate written agreement.
You are responsible for understanding matters including:
- Insurance coverage;
- Claim deadlines;

- Recoverable depreciation;

Where applicable law requires additional consent before using regulated automated dialing, artificial voice, prerecorded voice, or marketing technology, applicable communications will be subject to those consent requirements.
23. Recording of Communications
Utah law generally permits a person who is a party to a communication, or who has the consent of at least one party, to record the communication subject to applicable legal limitations.
We or a service provider acting on our behalf may record communications for:
- Quality assurance;
- Training;
- Documentation;
- Compliance;
- Security; or
- Other legitimate business purposes.
Because communications may involve people located in jurisdictions with stricter laws, additional notice or consent may be provided or obtained where required.
24. Text Messages

- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Your requested cash offer;
- Potential buyers;
- Buyer matching;
- Follow-up; and
- Related services.
Where required, separate or additional consent will be obtained for regulated automated or marketing text communications.
Consent to marketing text messages is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling a property where prohibited by applicable law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
You may request that applicable text communications stop by replying STOP.
25. Email Communications
By providing an email address, you authorize us to use that address to respond to your inquiry and communicate concerning:
- Your property;
- Potential buyers;

WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES THAT MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF:
- MERCHANTABILITY;
- FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
- TITLE; AND
- NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL ALWAYS BE:

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING SOLELY FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED $500.
This limitation does not apply to liability that applicable law does not permit to be limited or excluded.
Rights and liabilities arising from a separately executed real estate agreement will be governed by that agreement and are not subject to this Website-only liability cap unless the transaction agreement expressly provides otherwise.

Subject to applicable jurisdiction, venue, and consumer-protection requirements, legal proceedings arising solely from the Website or these Terms may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Salt Lake County, Utah.
These Website Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration.
A separately executed property purchase agreement or other transaction-specific agreement may contain different dispute-resolution provisions.

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent legally permitted or severed as appropriate.

We may assign these Terms in connection with:
- A merger;
- Acquisition;
- Financing;
