Effective Date: October 8, 2026
Last Updated: October 8, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ibuyfiredamagedhomesoxnardcalifornia.com (the “Website”) and services offered through the Website by I Buy Fire Damaged Homes Oxnard California (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing the Website, submitting property information, requesting an offer, or otherwise interacting with our services, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
1. Purpose of the Website
The Website allows property owners and authorized representatives to submit information concerning real estate they may wish to sell, including:
- Fire-damaged property;
- Smoke-damaged property;
- Water-damaged property;
- Structurally damaged property;
- Distressed property;
- Vacant property;
- Tenant-occupied property;
- Inherited property;
- Probate or estate property;
- Property facing foreclosure;
- Property subject to liens;
- Property requiring cleanup;

- Other residential or investment property.
Depending on the property and transaction, we may:
- Evaluate the property;
- Purchase or seek to purchase it directly;
- Make or facilitate a potential cash offer;
- Conduct or arrange due diligence;
- Coordinate cleanout where agreed;
- Enter into a purchase agreement;
- Acquire contractual or equitable rights;
- Assign contractual rights where legally and contractually permitted;
- Work with licensed California real estate professionals where legally required; or
- Decline the opportunity.
Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.
2. Our Role
The Website presently markets our business principally as a direct cash purchaser of fire-damaged property in Oxnard, California.
Depending on the transaction, we may act as:
- A prospective principal purchaser;
- A real estate investor;
- A property-acquisition business;
- A contract purchaser;
- A holder of contractual or equitable rights;
- An affiliate or co-investor with another purchaser; or
- Another lawful transaction participant.
Our actual role depends on the transaction documents and conduct.
Unless separately and lawfully established, we do not act as your:
- Real estate broker;
- Seller’s agent;
- Attorney;
- Accountant;
- Tax adviser;
- Financial adviser;
- Insurance adviser;
- Public adjuster;
- Contractor;
- Engineer;
- Appraiser;
- Fiduciary;
- Housing counselor;
- Mortgage broker;
- Mortgage lender;
- Mortgage servicer;
- Loan-modification provider;
- Foreclosure consultant;
- Debt-relief provider; or
- Other professional adviser.
3. Direct Purchase Model
Where we seek to purchase property for our own account:
- Our financial interests may differ from the seller’s interests;
- We may seek a purchase price accounting for repairs, cleanup, holding expenses, risk, and investment return;
- We negotiate for our own account unless another written relationship expressly provides otherwise; and
- We do not automatically owe the seller duties associated with a seller’s broker, attorney, fiduciary, appraiser, public adjuster, or financial adviser.
4. No Obligation to Sell
Submitting property information or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell.
A Website form submission is an inquiry and not a purchase agreement.
You may reject a proposed offer unless and until you enter into a legally enforceable transaction agreement, subject to any applicable statutory cancellation or termination rights.
5. No Obligation to Purchase
Submitting property information does not require us to:
- Inspect the property;
- Make an offer;
- Maintain a prior offer;
- Continue negotiations;
- Purchase the property; or
- Complete a transaction.
6. Eligibility and Authority
By using the Website or submitting property information, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years old;
- You possess legal capacity to contract;
- Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- You own the property or are lawfully authorized to communicate concerning it; and
- Your use complies with applicable law.
Submission by one co-owner does not necessarily authorize that person to bind every owner.
7. Agents, Wholesalers, and Other Representatives
If an agent, wholesaler, contract holder, attorney-in-fact, trustee, personal representative, or other representative submits property information, that person is responsible for having lawful authority to do so.
Nothing on the Website authorizes:
- Unlicensed brokerage;
- Misrepresentation of ownership;
- Unauthorized marketing of another person’s property;
- Unauthorized disclosure of property-owner information; or
- Violation of an existing purchase agreement.
8. Property Research
We may research:
- Ownership;
- Recorded deeds;
- Mortgages and deeds of trust;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Property taxes;
- Notices of default;
- Notices of trustee sale;
- Property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural condition;
- Roof and foundation;
- Electrical and plumbing systems;
- Heating and cooling;
- Repairs;
- Building permits;
- Fire permits;
- Roofing permits;
- Electrical permits;
- Plumbing and mechanical permits;
- Code-enforcement records;
- Fire Hazard Severity Zones;
- Insurance claims;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure;
- Comparable sales; and
- Other information relevant to evaluating a transaction.
9. Property Assessments
The Website states that the business evaluates fire-damaged property and handles inspections and transaction documentation.
An evaluation may include:
- Visual inspection;
- Photography;
- Contractor review;
- Structural review;
- Repair estimates;
- Environmental review;
- Permit research;
- Code-enforcement research;
- Fire-hazard research;
- Title review;
- Insurance review; and
- Other due diligence.
An evaluation performed for our acquisition purposes is not automatically an inspection or professional report performed for the seller’s benefit and is not a warranty concerning property condition.
10. Preliminary Offers
Any preliminary:
- Cash offer;
- Estimated offer;
- Property valuation;
- Price range;
- Repair estimate; or
- Similar statement
is non-binding unless included in a legally enforceable transaction agreement.
An offer may change following due diligence.
11. Offer Methodology
Potential offers may take into account:
- Current property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural damage;
- After-repair value;
- Comparable sales;
- Restoration expenses;
- Cleanup and debris-removal costs;
- Permit costs;
- Holding expenses;
- Property taxes;
- Insurance;
- Closing expenses;
- Market conditions;
- Risk; and
- Expected investment return.
No particular purchase price or valuation methodology is guaranteed.
12. Binding Transactions
A binding real estate transaction arises only when applicable parties execute legally enforceable transaction documents.
Closing may depend on:
- Ownership verification;
- Authority to sell;
- Title;
- Mortgages and deeds of trust;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Taxes;
- Seller disclosures;
- Natural-hazard disclosures;
- Wildfire disclosures;
- Property access;
- Due diligence;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure status;
- Insurance;
- Buyer funding;
- Oxnard permits or code matters;
- Escrow; and
- Other legal or contractual requirements.
13. California Transfer Disclosure Statement
California generally requires a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (“TDS”) for many transfers of residential real property containing one to four dwelling units, subject to statutory exemptions.
The disclosure framework can apply to:
- Sales;
- Exchanges;
- Installment land-sale contracts;
- Ground leases coupled with improvements;
- Leases with options to purchase; and
- Other qualifying transfer structures.
A cash investor purchase is not automatically exempt merely because:
- The buyer is an investor;
- The property is sold as-is;
- No traditional listing agent participates;
- The property has fire damage; or
- The parties intend a rapid closing.
14. TDS Timing
For a conventional covered sale, the seller generally must deliver the completed TDS as soon as practicable before transfer of title.
Certain other transaction structures have different timing requirements.
Applicable seller disclosures should be provided as early as practicable.
15. Late Disclosure and Buyer Termination Rights
If a required TDS or material amendment is delivered after execution of the buyer’s offer, California law generally gives the buyer:
- 3 days after personal delivery;
- 5 days after delivery by mail; or
- 5 days after qualifying electronic delivery
to terminate the offer by written notice.
Nothing in these Terms shortens an applicable statutory termination period.
16. TDS Exemptions
California provides specific exemptions for qualifying transactions, including certain:
- Court-ordered transfers;
- Probate-related transfers;
- Foreclosure transfers;
- Transfers to lenders following default;
- Deeds in lieu of foreclosure;
- Bankruptcy transfers;
- Fiduciary transfers;
- Co-owner transfers;
- Family transfers;
- Governmental transfers; and
- Other statutorily identified transfers.
An exemption should be verified for the actual transaction.
17. Fire Damage and Seller Disclosure
California’s disclosure regime requires truthful disclosure of known material property conditions.
Fire-related issues can involve:
- Structural framing;
- Roofs;
- Foundations;
- Electrical systems;
- Plumbing;
- Heating and cooling;
- Fireplaces and chimneys;
- Smoke detectors;
- Carbon-monoxide detectors;
- Smoke and soot contamination;
- Water intrusion;
- Mold;
- Hazardous materials;
- Alterations;
- Repair history;
- Building permits;
- Code violations; and
- Other conditions affecting value or desirability.
Known material conditions should not be concealed or misrepresented.
18. Material Facts
California preserves duties concerning facts that materially affect the value or desirability of real property.
A fire-related condition can be material depending on:
- Severity;
- Remaining damage;
- Repair quality;
- Structural effect;
- Permit status;
- Environmental impact;
- Insurability;
- Habitability; and
- Other facts.
19. No Universal Fire-Document Package
California does not impose one universal rule requiring every fire-damaged seller automatically to deliver every:
- Fire-department report;
- Insurance claim file;
- Adjuster report;
- Contractor invoice;
- Engineering report;
- Environmental report;
- Photograph;
- Repair estimate;
- Permit; or
- Inspection record
to every buyer.
A particular record may nevertheless be:
- Required by contract;
- Important to explain a known condition;
- Requested during due diligence;
- Required by an insurer;
- Required by a lender;
- Required by the City of Oxnard; or
- Required under another law.
20. California Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement
California separately requires a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (“NHD”) in qualifying transactions.
The NHD addresses whether property is within specified areas including:
- Special flood hazard areas;
- Dam-inundation areas;
- Earthquake fault zones;
- Seismic hazard zones;
- High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones; and
- Other statutorily identified fire-hazard areas.
The actual parcel should be evaluated using current official maps.
21. Oxnard Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps
Oxnard is subject to California’s updated Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping process.
CAL FIRE released updated Oxnard-area mapping in March 2025 identifying Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
The applicable parcel’s current classification should be checked through current official state and City mapping.
22. Actual Structure Fire Versus Wildfire Hazard Zone
Historical structure-fire damage and wildfire hazard classification are different issues.
An Oxnard property can:
- Have suffered an actual fire without being in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone;
- Be within a Fire Hazard Severity Zone without previously suffering structure fire damage; or
- Have both conditions.
The Website and transaction disclosures should not treat these concepts as interchangeable.
23. Additional Wildfire Disclosure for Certain Homes
Where residential property subject to California’s transfer-disclosure law is:
- Located in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone; and
- Improved with a home constructed before January 1, 2010,
California Civil Code section 1102.6f requires additional wildfire-hardening disclosure.
For transactions occurring on or after July 1, 2025, the disclosure also identifies which listed low-cost wildfire retrofits, if any, were completed during the seller’s ownership.
24. As-Is Transactions
The Website advertises purchase of fire-damaged property in its present or “as-is” condition.
“As-is” may mean that the purchaser does not require the seller to perform repairs.
It does not automatically eliminate:
- TDS requirements;
- Natural Hazard Disclosure requirements;
- Wildfire disclosures;
- Fraud or concealment liability;
- Material-fact disclosure duties;
- Contractual representations;
- Federal disclosures;
- Foreclosure protections;
- Title requirements;
- Government orders; or
- Other non-waivable duties.
25. No Universal Requirement to Repair Before Sale
California does not impose one statewide rule requiring every fire-damaged residence to be completely restored before transfer.
A property may potentially be sold in damaged condition.
Separate:
- Building codes;
- Unsafe-building findings;
- Fire-code requirements;
- Repair permits;
- Electrical permits;
- Plumbing permits;
- Mechanical permits;
- Roofing permits;
- Occupancy restrictions;
- Utility restrictions;
- Environmental requirements;
- Insurance requirements;
- Local ordinances; and
- Contract terms
may nevertheless affect the property.
26. Oxnard Residential Permits
The City of Oxnard administers permits for residential construction and repairs.
Depending on the proposed restoration work, permits can be required for matters such as:
- Structural work;
- Electrical work;
- Plumbing;
- Mechanical systems;
- Roofing;
- Fire-related work;
- Demolition;
- Additions;
- Alterations; and
- Other covered improvements.
The City’s current permit system includes separate residential/property-owner and contractor application procedures.
27. Minor Work That May Not Require a Permit
Oxnard identifies some limited residential work that may not require a building permit, such as certain minor drywall repair, painting, finish work, and very small roof repairs.
That does not mean substantial fire restoration is permit-exempt.
The actual scope of damage and work controls.
28. Fire Protection Systems
Oxnard separately administers inspections and permits for specified fire and life-safety systems, including:
- Fire alarms;
- Fire sprinklers;
- Kitchen suppression equipment; and
- Other regulated fire-protection systems.
Restoration involving those systems may require separate Fire Department review or inspection.
29. Smoke and Carbon-Monoxide Requirements
Oxnard maintains current building documentation relating to smoke and carbon-monoxide alarm compliance.
Repair, rehabilitation, or permit closeout may therefore require compliance with applicable state and local alarm requirements.
30. Unsafe and Substandard Conditions
Oxnard’s Code Compliance program identifies substandard residential conditions that threaten occupant health or safety.
Fire-created issues such as:
- Exposed wiring;
- Damaged walls or roofs;
- Unsafe construction;
- Mold;
- Improper occupancy; or
- Missing required exits
may therefore lead to code-enforcement issues.
A sale does not automatically erase an existing violation or unsafe condition.
31. Current Oxnard Building and Fire Codes
The City has adopted current California Building and Fire Code provisions with local amendments.
Repair or reconstruction of fire-damaged property must comply with the code applicable to the project and permit.
An as-is acquisition does not authorize future repairs that violate current law.
32. Contractor Licensing
California separately regulates construction and contracting activity.
Where repair, demolition, remediation, restoration, or reconstruction requires a licensed contractor, the work must be performed by an appropriately licensed person or entity unless a lawful exemption applies.
Property acquisition does not itself create authority to perform regulated contractor work.
33. Owner-Builder Rules
California’s owner-builder exemptions are limited.
Among other things:
- An owner personally performing work generally cannot rely on the principal owner-builder exemption where improvements are intended or offered for sale;
- A property owner may in specified circumstances directly contract with properly licensed trade contractors;
- Special limitations apply to single-family structures intended or offered for sale; and
- A homeowner-residence exemption contains separate occupancy and frequency requirements.
An investor acquiring fire-damaged property for resale should therefore not assume that every homeowner owner-builder exemption applies to a renovation project.
34. Investor Resale Repair Disclosure
California imposes an additional disclosure rule in specified rapid resales of single-family residential property.
If a seller accepts an offer within 18 months after the seller acquired title, the seller generally must disclose qualifying:
- Room additions;
- Structural modifications;
- Alterations;
- Repairs performed by contractors;
- Contractor names and qualifying contact information; and
- Permit information.
This can be particularly important where an investor acquires a fire-damaged home, repairs it, and resells it within 18 months.
35. Inspections and Due Diligence
The Website advertises no seller repair requirement and references handling inspections.
That does not mean the purchaser waives its own due diligence.
A potential purchaser may investigate:
- Structural condition;
- Electrical systems;
- Plumbing;
- HVAC;
- Smoke and soot contamination;
- Mold;
- Environmental conditions;
- Permit history;
- Code violations;
- Fire Hazard Severity Zone;
- Title;
- Insurance matters; and
- Other property conditions.
36. Fast Offer and Closing Claims
The Website advertises:
- A no-pressure as-is cash offer within approximately 24 hours;
- Potential closing in approximately 10 days; and
- A FAQ stating that closing can often occur in approximately 7–14 days.
Those statements describe possible transaction timing and are not guarantees.
Actual timing may depend on:
- Ownership;
- Title;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Seller disclosures;
- Natural-hazard disclosures;
- Foreclosure;
- Probate;
- Insurance;
- Property access;
- Oxnard permits or orders;
- Escrow;
- Buyer funding; and
- Other circumstances.
37. No Repairs and Cleanup
The Website says sellers need not repair or clean the property and that the buyer may handle repairs or cleanup after acquisition.
That is a potential purchase structure.
It does not mean:
- Unsafe property may be occupied contrary to law;
- Existing government orders disappear;
- Debris can be disposed of unlawfully;
- Regulated asbestos, lead, hazardous-material, demolition, or contractor work may be performed without required licenses or permits; or
- Every repair can legally wait until after closing.
38. Closing Costs, Commissions, and Fees
The Website advertises no agent commissions and no hidden fees.
Where a buyer agrees to pay specified transaction expenses or no conventional listing commission applies, the signed purchase agreement and final escrow or settlement statement control.
No Website statement overrides the actual transaction documents.
39. “Fair,” “Competitive,” and “True Value” Claims
Any Website statement describing an offer as:
- Fair;
- Competitive;
- Transparent;
- Market-based; or
- Similar terminology
does not guarantee that:
- The offer equals appraised fair market value;
- The offer equals repaired retail value;
- No other purchaser would offer more;
- The seller could not obtain greater proceeds by listing the property; or
- A particular valuation formula will be used.
The seller remains free to obtain independent valuation advice.
40. California Real Estate Licensing
California generally requires a real estate broker license where a person, for compensation or in expectation of compensation, acts for another to:
- Sell or offer to sell real property;
- Buy or offer to buy real property;
- Solicit prospective sellers or buyers;
- Obtain listings; or
- Negotiate a purchase, sale, or exchange.
The actual conduct and relationship control.
41. Principal Purchaser Versus Broker
A genuine principal purchaser buying property for its own account is differently situated from a person acting for another for compensation.
Nothing on the Website authorizes a person to avoid licensing requirements merely by describing themselves as:
- An investor;
- Cash buyer;
- Acquisition specialist;
- Consultant;
- Wholesaler; or
- Contract buyer.
42. California Wholesaling
As of October 8, 2026, California has not enacted the wholesaler-specific licensing regime proposed in Assembly Bill 1850.
AB 1850 was held under submission in Assembly Appropriations on May 14, 2026 and has not become law.
Its proposed licensing and disclosure requirements therefore should not be represented as current California law.
43. Existing Licensing Law Still Applies to Wholesaling
The absence of an enacted wholesaler-specific statute does not mean every assignment transaction is automatically lawful without a license.
Relevant facts can include:
- Whether the contract holder is genuinely acting as principal;
- Whether contractual rights were actually acquired;
- Whether the agreement permits assignment;
- What interest is being marketed;
- Whether someone else’s real property is being advertised;
- Whether the contract holder falsely claims legal ownership;
- Whether negotiation occurs for another;
- Whether sellers or buyers are solicited for another; and
- Whether compensation is received for brokerage-type services.
44. Contractual Interest Is Not Legal Title
Holding a:
- Purchase agreement;
- Option;
- Assignment right; or
- Equitable interest
is different from holding record legal title.
A contract holder should not falsely represent that:
- It is the deed owner;
- It already owns legal title;
- Title has transferred;
- It is selling the real property itself when only contractual rights are being assigned; or
- It possesses rights beyond those granted by the agreement.
45. Assignment Depends on the Contract
Whether a purchase agreement may be assigned depends on:
- Contract language;
- Anti-assignment provisions;
- Required consent;
- California contract law;
- Real estate licensing law;
- Foreclosure protections; and
- Other applicable requirements.
Nothing on the Website guarantees that a particular purchase agreement may be assigned.
46. Property Already in Foreclosure
California imposes especially strong protections when an investor acquires a qualifying owner-occupied residence after a notice of default has been recorded.
Such a transaction can fall under California’s Home Equity Sales Contract Act.
47. Residence in Foreclosure
A covered residence in foreclosure generally means residential real property:
- Containing one to four dwelling units;
- One of which is occupied by the owner as the owner’s principal residence; and
- Against which a notice of default has been recorded.
A covered investor purchaser can become an “equity purchaser.”
48. Home Equity Sales Contract Requirements
A covered home-equity sales contract is subject to detailed statutory requirements concerning:
- Written form;
- Type size;
- Contract language;
- Required transaction terms;
- Cancellation language;
- Notice forms; and
- Delivery to the homeowner.
Ordinary Website Terms are not a substitute for those documents.
49. Five-Business-Day Home Equity Cancellation Right
A covered equity seller generally may cancel the transaction until the earlier of:
- Midnight of the fifth business day after signing a compliant contract; or
- 8:00 a.m. on the date scheduled for the foreclosure sale.
Nothing in these Terms limits that right.
50. Restrictions During the Cancellation Period
Until the statutory cancellation period has fully expired, a covered equity purchaser generally may not take specified actions including:
- Accepting or inducing execution of a conveyance;
- Recording seller-signed conveyance documents;
- Transferring or encumbering an interest in the property; or
- Paying consideration to the equity seller
in violation of the Home Equity Sales Contract Act.
51. No Misleading Statements to a Distressed Seller
A covered equity purchaser may not make untrue or misleading statements concerning:
- Property value;
- Proceeds the seller may receive;
- Contract terms;
- Cancellation rights;
- Documents being signed; or
- Other material aspects of the transaction.
52. Foreclosure Consultants
California separately regulates mortgage foreclosure consultants.
A person may fall within that law where, for compensation, the person represents that services will:
- Stop or postpone foreclosure;
- Obtain forbearance;
- Obtain reinstatement;
- Obtain waiver of acceleration;
- Obtain financing;
- Reduce foreclosure-related credit damage;
- Save the owner’s residence; or
- Provide another covered foreclosure-related service.
A principal purchaser should not simultaneously portray itself as the homeowner’s paid foreclosure consultant unless the separate relationship fully complies with applicable law.
53. Five-Business-Day Foreclosure-Consultant Cancellation Right
A covered foreclosure-consultant agreement generally carries a five-business-day cancellation right.
The agreement must satisfy detailed written-contract, formatting, language, and notice requirements.
Until the consultant complies with those requirements, additional cancellation rights may remain.
54. No Advance Foreclosure-Consultant Fees
A covered foreclosure consultant generally may not charge or receive compensation until after fully performing every service the consultant contracted or represented that it would perform.
55. Foreclosure Consultant Cannot Acquire the Client’s Home
A covered foreclosure consultant generally may not acquire an interest in a residence in foreclosure from an owner with whom the consultant contracted.
A direct purchaser seeking to buy the property should therefore keep the acquisition role distinct from compensated foreclosure-relief consulting.
56. Registration and Bonding
Covered California foreclosure consultants generally are subject to registration and bonding requirements unless an exemption applies.
A qualifying foreclosure consultant generally must maintain:
- Department of Justice registration; and
- A qualifying surety bond.
57. Requesting an Offer Does Not Stop Foreclosure
Submitting a Website form, receiving an offer, or negotiating a transaction does not automatically:
- Stop a trustee sale;
- Cancel a notice of default;
- Extend a foreclosure deadline;
- Cure a default;
- Reinstate a loan;
- Modify a mortgage;
- Create forbearance; or
- Require a lender or servicer to delay enforcement.
Homeowners facing foreclosure should independently verify applicable deadlines.
58. No Foreclosure-Rescue Guarantees
Unless separately authorized and legally qualified, we do not represent that:
- We act for your lender;
- We act for your mortgage servicer;
- We act for California or the City of Oxnard;
- We guarantee foreclosure will stop;
- We guarantee a loan modification;
- We will negotiate your mortgage as your adviser;
- You should stop communicating with your lender;
- You should stop making legally required payments; or
- Selling to us is your only option.
59. Federal Mortgage-Assistance Rules
If separate conduct constitutes mortgage-assistance-relief services under federal law, additional federal requirements may regulate:
- Advance fees;
- Advertising;
- Required consumer notices;
- Communications with mortgage lenders or servicers; and
- Consumer acceptance.
60. Probate, Estate, Trust, and Inherited Property
Submitting inherited, probate, estate, or trust property does not establish legal authority to sell.
A transaction may require:
- Personal-representative authority;
- Executor or administrator authority;
- Trustee authority;
- Probate-court documentation;
- Participation by heirs or beneficiaries;
- Appropriate deeds; or
- Other evidence of authority.
61. Insurance Claims and Fire-Damage Proceeds
A fire-damaged property may involve an open or completed insurance claim.
We do not act as your:
- Insurance company;
- Insurance producer;
- Public adjuster;
- Insurance attorney; or
- Insurance adviser
unless a separate legally compliant relationship expressly establishes otherwise.
Property owners are responsible for understanding:
- Insurance coverage;
- Proof-of-loss requirements;
- Claim deadlines;
- Insurance proceeds;
- Repair obligations;
- Mortgage-holder rights;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Additional living expenses;
- Assignment restrictions;
- Salvage rights; and
- Policy conditions.
62. Pending Insurance Claims
If property is sold while an insurance claim remains pending, transaction documents should address the parties’ respective rights concerning:
- Existing proceeds;
- Supplemental proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Future payments;
- Additional claims;
- Repair obligations;
- Salvage; and
- Related benefits.
63. Insurance Rights Do Not Automatically Transfer
The purchase of fire-damaged property does not automatically transfer:
- The seller’s insurance policy;
- A pending insurance claim;
- Insurance proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation; or
- Other policy rights.
Those issues depend on policy language, applicable law, lender rights, insurer requirements, timing of the loss, and the transaction documents.
64. Public Adjusting
Nothing on the Website constitutes public-adjusting services.
A seller seeking assistance negotiating an insurance claim should work with an appropriately licensed professional or attorney where required.
65. Multilingual Transactions
California provides special protections where specified transactions are negotiated primarily in certain languages.
Where Civil Code section 1632 applies and negotiations are conducted primarily in:
- Spanish;
- Chinese;
- Tagalog;
- Vietnamese; or
- Korean,
a translation of the applicable agreement may be required before execution.
The Website’s multilingual functionality does not eliminate those rights.
66. Tenant-Occupied Property
A sale does not automatically terminate an existing lawful tenancy.
A purchaser should evaluate:
- Existing leases;
- Month-to-month tenancies;
- Security deposits;
- Fire-related displacement;
- Habitability issues;
- Notice requirements;
- Possession rights; and
- Other applicable California tenant protections.
A property appearing vacant after a fire should not automatically be treated as legally tenant-free.
67. Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
Federal lead-based-paint disclosure requirements may apply to qualifying residential housing constructed before 1978.
Nothing on the Website replaces those federal obligations.
68. Common Interest Developments
If property is located within a condominium, planned development, or other qualifying common-interest development, separate California disclosures may apply concerning:
- Governing documents;
- Assessments;
- Budgets;
- Reserves;
- Insurance;
- Rules;
- Litigation;
- Meeting materials; and
- Other association matters.
69. Telephone Communications
By providing a telephone number and requesting an offer, you authorize reasonable responsive communications concerning:
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Additional consent will be obtained where legally required before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made.
70. California Recording Law
California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Confidential acquisition calls should therefore not be silently recorded solely because one participant consented.
Where recording occurs, appropriate notice and legally sufficient consent should be obtained from all participants.
71. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where required, additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing messages are sent.
Consent to marketing communications is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
72. Email Communications
By providing an email address, you authorize communications concerning:
- Your property;
- Potential offers;
- Inspections;
- Due diligence;
- Scheduling;
- Follow-up;
- Services; and
- Potential transactions.
Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
73. Electronic Communications
Where permitted by law, you consent to receiving Website and transaction communications electronically.
This consent does not eliminate documents that applicable law requires to be delivered in a particular form, language, or manner.
74. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
75. Independent Decision-Making
Selling fire-damaged real estate can have substantial:
- Legal;
- Tax;
- Financial;
- Insurance;
- Construction;
- Environmental; and
- Personal consequences.
You may wish to consult:
- A California attorney;
- A licensed California real estate professional;
- A tax professional;
- An accountant;
- An insurance professional;
- A licensed contractor;
- An engineer;
- An environmental professional;
- An appraiser;
- A HUD-approved housing counselor; or
- Another qualified adviser.
76. No Professional Advice
Website content does not constitute individualized:
- Legal advice;
- Tax advice;
- Accounting advice;
- Financial advice;
- Insurance advice;
- Construction advice;
- Engineering advice;
- Environmental advice;
- Appraisal advice;
- Mortgage advice; or
- Foreclosure advice.
77. No Automatic Brokerage, Agency, or Fiduciary Relationship
